COMMENT

S&P/TSX Global Gold ETF. Has a basket of Canadian gold stocks. He prefers covered calls on gold stocks, where you Buy a gold stock and then Sell a Call on the same stock.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 14/10. Up 20%.) S&P/TSX Global Gold ETF. Wanted to have some underlying gold share exposure for clients. Still a gap between bullion and gold companies.

COMMENT

S&P/TSX Global Gold. This is the ETF he tends to use for golds. Very heavily weighted towards the large producers. Golds have been hanging around the $1200 mark for the better part of a year now. Thinks run-up in gold has already happened.

TOP PICK

Global gold index. He is favorable on gold at this time. Seasonable aspects at this time. Predicting it will run up a bit here. Exit Sept 25’th and get back in end of Oct.

DON'T BUY

Gold stocks ETF. You have to decide if you want to be in the producers or in the gold itself. This is not made new highs where gold itself has. With global political/financial problems there is a defensive mood so gold may outperform producers.

BUY

Started bringing non-Canadian gold shares. Has no problem with it.

DON'T BUY

Gold ETF. There is no great concern that would normally push gold up. Could hold a small amount.

BUY

Gold S&P/TSX ETF. Likes gold stocks, which seem to be undervalued relative to bullion. Expecting a round of takeovers from the big metal companies. He doesn't have any individual gold companies, just uses this.

TOP PICK

Gold S&P/TSX ETF. Some interesting things are happening in gold. In the last couple of days, this has formed a nice base pattern with a nice breakout. Very strong earnings reports are starting to come out.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick March 31/09. Down 4.9%.) When looking at commodities, it is always a good idea to have some of the basic commodity itself. Still a buy.

COMMENT

If you take a long term view, then leveraged ETFs wont work, but if you like to trade frequently, then go ahead with this. Some of his clients use this one.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Feb 25/09, Up 7.8%) With all the printing of money, gold will be in demand. World could go to a new currency which includes gold. 5-10% of every portfolio is in gold.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 20/09. Up 13.69%.)

TOP PICK

Not a gold bug but recognizes there is some secular wind at their back. A lot of the equities have not kept pace with bullion but will get better reflected in their earnings growth.

COMMENT

Gold S&P/TSX ETF. A basket of precious metals stocks. 27.3% of it is Barrick (ABX-T). Gold will go higher if the US$ continues to decline.
