BUY

US S&P ETF for Long term hold. You need to think about where the Canadian dollar is go to go in the long term. He thinks a year out it will go down from 98 to 95. He prefers no hedged.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Mar 28/12, Up 15.44%)

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 3/12. Up 14.12%.) This is a core holding for him.

COMMENT

This is Cdn$ hedged. Is now the time to go into a US non-hedged ETF? Really good question. Perhaps it is now time to go strictly to the US side. It is really, really difficult to forecast where currencies are going. If you like the S&P 500, as does he, perhaps you don’t want the currency to go against you.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 22/11. Up 16.06%.) This is a core holding for him and something he has always held.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Nov 4/11, Up 14.81%) He has always recommended it because he is bullish on the US since 2009. He would wait for a bit of a pullback here. Housing starts will affect everything. Energy self-sufficiency is not a dream. It is at least feasible.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept 16/11. Up 21.23%.) Cdn $ hedged so that if the US$ weakens, you are fine. Well diversified as it has 500 different stocks in it.

BUY

Caller asked for a recommendation for a US ETF: S&P with a Canadian Currency hedge.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept 16/11. Up 15.28%.) Tracks the S&P 500. Still very bullish on the US. Likes that it is hedged against the US$.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Jul 29/11, Up 6.96%)

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Jun 10/22, Up 1.97%) US will outperform even in a weak market. The debt issue can be solved by pulling the tax trigger. What they need is a VAT.

TOP PICK

Core holding. He is not anxious to be jumping in the market right here. There could be a sell off. But when it goes back in he will be buying this.

TOP PICK

A Core Holding. Hedged to Canadian Dollars. It was one of the first things he bought in Feb., 2009. He continues to be bullish on the US. Employment is improving, increasingly independent in terms of Energy. This rally could last for some time.

BUY

S&P 500, US$ hedged. It is the grand daddy of them all.

TOP PICK

Nat Gas will be compress for a little bit. Golds are dealing with cost pressures. Metal are getting pinched from China. Insurance companies in the states are cheaper and banks really do have a better opportunity if things get better down there. Canadians do not own enough of the US because of all the false starts.
