TOP PICK

Sell Dec 1/17 Calls @ $3.25 and Buy Dec 1/27 Calls @ $0.40. (Dec 1/27 Call is hedging your upside.) Not sure the S&P 500 has got much upside beyond $1170 and feels $1200 would be the highest. This Bear Call Spread will be profitable up to about $1190 on the S&P 500. Don't hold this to maturity!

BUY

Would look at HSD and HOD from Horizons, but they are short-term products (2X Leveraged). HUI is an inverse for the S&P 500, as an alternative.

COMMENT

S&P 500. The longer your time horizon, the better your opportunities. If you are a believer that the world economies will recover in 3 years, this one will recover. ETF’s give you the advantage of not having to study the individual securities that you have no choice in the weightings.

DON'T BUY

Gives exposure to the S&P 500 and it blankets both growth and value. He would rather tilt more towards S&P Growth. This is a point in the economic cycle where historically growth has outperformed value. He would rather do iShares S&P 500 Growth (IVW-N).

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 11/06. Up 5.7%.) This one was using the trading range, buying at the lower end of a round $70 and selling at around $80. Has recently been buying around $75.

DON'T BUY

This is actually a large cap market cap index and most of the large caps that dominate the index are very overpriced according to his model. You are not buying a cheap index here.

TOP PICK

A pairs trade. A defensive theme. Go long US quality stocks (SPY-A) where money is coming back and go short emerging markets (EEM-A).

BUY

A US$ denominated version of the iShares S&P 500 (XSP-T) and a little cheaper than the Canadian version. (See the entry for XSP-T)

BUY

This is an index unit so you're buying the whole S&P with one trade. Expects the S&P will hit $1400 by year-end.

PAST TOP PICK

(A top pick Sept. 28/05 up 3.8%) Although it is up now, he covered it in October so he came out ahead.

WEAK BUY

(ED - Caller wanted income in US$'s.) At first blush would recommend this one. It will give a dividend yield of about 1.6% in US$'s. His 2nd choice is to go to www.amex.com and under ETFs and select the ones listed. The problem with US yields is that interest rates are going up and that's going to hurt them.

TOP PICK

Top Short His call here is that the market is topping out. In 3 months it could be marginally higher, but the message in this call is that there is major resistance around $120 and looking for a retest of the $106 area.

DON'T BUY

A lot of the large technology stocks have too much weight in the index. Expects it to fall and fall faster than the Dow.

PAST TOP PICK

(Was a top pick on Dec 27. Down 4.5%) Stil likes.
