PAST TOP PICK
TOP PICK
Prefers this because it is Canadian$ hedged. If it was unhedged and currency went against you, your gains could be wiped out. Over 600 companies well diversified. Short duration of just under 4 years.

TOP PICK
US High Yield Bond Index ETF. US economy is recovering nicely. Default rates are falling sharply on high-yield bonds. Well diversified across the economy. Yielding around just under 6% with a low duration of around 4 years.

TOP PICK
US High Yield Bond Index ETF that is hedged back to the Cdn$. This has 62 different bond issues in its portfolio. Covers the whole spectrum of the US economy. Not very risky and the default rate has fallen to less than 5%. You are going to get close to 8% even 9 9% depending on the price.

TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Mar 21/11. Up 3.25%.) US High Yield Bond Index ETF. High yield did not perform as well as investment-grade last year but when you look at this over 9 months you have a lot of problems including tsunami in Japan and European credit crisis it's still eked out a mid-single digit return and he is fairly happy. Price-performance hasn't been great, but this is not about price-performance, it is about distribution. Thinks this will be one of the top performers over the next 6 months.

TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sept 30/10. Up 8.2%.) US High Yield Bond Index Fund. Currently yielding 7.5%-8%. Cdn$ hedged giving you exposure to a broad asset class. Likes it right now because high yield is very cheap right now.

COMMENT
COMMENT
US High Yield Bond Index Fund. Performing poorly because of the credit risks in the uncertainties of the market. Default rates haven’t moved up yet but the market is pricing higher default rates down the road.

PARTIAL SELL
US High Yield Bond market has actually had a massive rebound since their financial crisis. What worries him about the sector is that there are a lot of relatively weak quality issuers who have been raising money in a 6%-7% range. This is way too cheap a coupon for some of them to pay. If you own, consider scaling back.

(Top Pick Nov 04/11, Up 10.75%) a hold because it is up so much – 5 or 6% o er the next 12 months. Still likes it and it is still a HOLD. Can expect 5.5-6%$ return over the next year.
