TOP PICK

Core Canadian position. It is optionable. He does write options against them, particularly in markets like this. Been around the longest. He does covered calls, 6 months out.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Jan 25/10,Up 3% total return) A core holding. He always has this as part of his portfolios. It is very liquid in terms of the options market.

BUY

Has gold in it and he uses this instead of gold ETFs.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Apr 20/09, Up 22.85% + dividend) Sold a few weeks back.

COMMENT

Is range bound. Some people sell covered call options every month to generate extra income.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 23/09. No change.) TSX 60 index. Has gone back and forth between this and the US index, depending which market was better.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 15/09. Up 3.19%.) TSX 60. Has always been a core holding for him. Also good for covered call writing.

TOP PICK

You buy Sept 18 Call at a premium of $.80 and Sell the same Calls at $.25. This is a Calendar Spread, which in a low volatile environment, will do well if volatility picks up..

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 9/09. Up 15%.) Bought S&P TSE 60 ETF blue chips at $14.72 and wrote a March 15 covered call option for $15. You would've taken in $1.31 immediately (taxed as a capital gain). This reduced the cost of the stock giving you lower risks. The strategy makes money in a down or flat market.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 15/09. Up 4.2%.) This tracks the TSX60 and is always a core position for him.

TOP PICK

iShares Large-Cap Covered Strangle. Basically buying underlying stock (about $17.85) and Selling $18 Call for March/11. This presumes the Canadian market will not do much next year. If the market is above the TSX 60 and the XIU is about $18 he'll simply sell it and keep the option premium of $2.40. If the market goes down he will have to buy another block of stock but it will be at $17 a share.

TOP PICK

Highly liquid. Represents those kinds of commodities that Canada has for sale that other countries want. Always has this as part of his portfolios.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Oct 15/09, Up 1.45%) Held for any years. Always a core position. Heavy weighting in oils and materials. Has the products from Canada that the globe wants. He can write options on this one.

COMMENT

S&P/TSX 60 ETF. This is a vehicle that he would use if he wanted to short the market. It is very liquid.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 15/09. Down 2.7%.) S&P/TSX 60 Index. Cdn banks are a much better position than global counterparts and it is heavy into materials and energy. A core position in every account. Much cheaper than a mutual fund as well as more tax efficient.
