BUY
A way to play the global market place. It is weighted half in the US market, 24% in Canada and emerging markets at 5%. International developed markets account for 25%. This ETF is overweight Canada. Good for when financials and energy does well. In the big picture, the Canadian plays will not do as well as they have done in the last year. A good ETF to get broad exposure.

COMMENT
Getting about 50% US, 25% Canada and then 22% international developed markets, with the rest in emerging markets. Canada is however 3% of the global index. It is overweight Canada. If you think Canadian banks and energy will lead, then it is okay. Value is far more in the international markets than US large caps.

COMMENT
BUY
All equity. Broad array of assets. Tax implications for all things that have global assets in them -- but that's not the end of the world, and it's pretty common.
Looking at the chart, you're going to feel that this is overbought. But it has US and global diversification, and that's where you want to be. Pullbacks will be muted; now is the time to invest, especially if you're planning for the long term (such as an education fund).
E.T.F.'s
Very comfortable with anything from iShares. (And also Vanguard, BMO, Global X. The smaller companies get very nichey.)
