COMMENT
Real estate and financials, Canadian exposure only.
PAST TOP PICK
Then 53.68 Sold Likes to stay with the leaders, the financials are fading back. He worries that the Canadians are going to follow the Americans.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 15/06. Up 3.8%.) Slow and steady.
TOP PICK
Tracks a basket of Canadian financial stocks. Chart shows that it is hardly moving, but it is moving and in an uptrend.
WAIT
Great way for an individual to get exposure to the whole financial sector. You would get about 2 third banks and a third insurance. Can see a return in the low double digits in the next year, which would be better than the market. As an entry point, wait for a seasonal bottom in the next three weeks.
HOLD
Likes the sector. It is now back to break even for the year. In a melt down, to break even is not a bad thing.
BUY
Would look at this as an investor.
WEAK BUY
A good way to be in the financial services sector. Two periods of seasonal strength for this sector. End of September to end of December and the end of February to end of May. Earnings picture has some concerns. Bank of Nova Scotia is good but other banks are less attractive. Loan losses may rise and narrowing interest rate spreads.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick June 7/04. Option Call on the stock and was up 70%.)
BUY
A good way for a small investor to be in the golds. To own bullion, consider the Central Fund of Canada.
DON'T BUY
Prefers buying individual securities rather than indexes. Favourites are Canadian Bank of Commerce and Bank of Nova Scotia.
BUY
The banks have outperformed the TSX index for every decade since the war. Beaten down to 11 1/2 X next year's earnings. Should a decent growth and dividend growth.
