Broad Canadian exposure to large caps.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Feb 19/10, Up 23%) Best way to play the Canadian market.
TOP PICK
(Top Pick May 5/10, Up 15.37%) Always likes having it in a portfolio. Long term Canada will do very, very well. Strong commodities and financial system in Canada.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick March 16/10. Up 13.96%. iShares Large-Cap Covered Strangle expiring Mar 18/11.) Started with owning the stock and did a covered straddle to Sell his holding at $18. Then sold a March 17 Put at the same time and got $1.20 a share. He’ll end up losing his shares but will keep both premiums.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick April 9/10. Up 10.12%.) Tracks the S&P TSX60. The only time he will Sell it is if he thinks the market is getting overheated or to rebalance his portfolios.
TOP PICK
(Top Pick Jan 14/10, Up 13.57%) A core holding for a lot of people. It was outperformed by the small caps, but he can’t emphasize the value of dividends going forward. High quality slice of the Canadian market. Gives you the beta of the market at a very low cost. Dividends are cash so they can go elsewhere. Over time we will revert back to large caps out performing.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick March 4/10. Up 11.27%.) S&P/TSX 60 ETF. Half of the revenue of these companies is coming from offshore. Uses covered call strategy on this also.
TOP PICK
(Top Pick Jan 25/10, Up 11.4%) Core holding. Highly liquid, optionable. S&P 60. Core holding; buy it and put it away. In Canada we have the banking system and the resources that people want.
BUY
The grand daddy of all ETFs in Canada. You could consider XIC or XMD because they are more broadly diversified. XIU is the cheapest.

TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 15/09. Up 5.6%.) S&P/TSX 60 ETF. The premier Canadian ETF. Very good solid market cap weighted product.

TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 25/10. Up 0.24%.) S&P/TSX 60 ETF. He has this as a core holding. Essentially, you are just buying the market. This will save you the huge portfolio manager and mutual fund fees.

COMMENT
Does he recommend delta hedging? Delta hedging is making money on the price movement of the underlying stock with an option strategy. An effective management. Works well in volatile times. Don’t use it for the entire portfolio. With XIU alone, he thinks you would need to use the strategy across many more securities to do it properly.
