BUY
S&P/TSX 60 ETF (XIU-T) versus Cdn Fundamental ETF (CRQ-T)? Both are industry leaders. Very good products. XIU tracks S&P/TSX 60, 60 largest Canadian companies. One of the cheapest in Canada. CRQ tracks RAFI index, more broadly based and more expensive but more of a value tilt and has outperformed XIU.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 23/10. Up 6.65%.)
TOP PICK
Cdn Fundamental ETF. 4 different fundamental index metrics are used with a 25% weighting for each. Have historically gotten better rates of return than traditional cap weighted indexes.
DON'T BUY
A Fundamentally valued index. They are doing a little bit of active management. It is 47% financials. He’s not interested.
BUY
Canadian Fundamental ETF. This is an ETF that follows a particular indexing methodology based on research on the drivers of security returns.
BUY
Canadian Fundamental ETF. Top ranked Canadian equity fund over the last 3 years. Management fee of .6% or less.
TOP PICK
Big Cap Cdn stocks in the index. The key here is Buy when it snows, Sell when it goes. The period of seasonal strength for the Canadian market is from October until April. Was late this year and last. Wait until you get a technical bottom. Sell in April or when the technicals tell you.
TOP PICK
Basically a proxy of the Canadian market. You could buy this or the XIU-T’s but he prefers this because of the slightly higher dividend yield and the history of out performing. Continue to hold until April/09.
COMMENT
Broad Cdn portfolio. Return is partially dividend and partially return of capital.
