The iShares S&P/TSX 60 Index ETF (XIU) is highly regarded as a robust long-term investment, particularly acknowledged for its ability to defer taxable gains. It tracks the TSX 60 index, which constitutes a significant portion of the Canadian market, making it a solid choice for investors looking for exposure to major sectors such as energy and banking. While opinions suggest that XIU and other ETFs like XIC often move in tandem, investors should consider their risk tolerance related to the smaller companies and commodities that make up the remaining 20% of the broader market. With the Canadian market showing resilience and outperforming the US market recently, there is a growing sentiment that XIU could remain favorable for many years. Overall, experts express optimism about international markets, positioning XIU as a viable option for those seeking stability in their investment portfolio.

Valuation

XIC

TOP PICK

Basically the Canadian market. Period of seasonal strength is from the end of Sept until April. Delay any purchases until the end of September. Chart shows a long support level but now has a bounce. Big spread between the support and the top in July, ind

PAST TOP PICK

Seasonal strength from the end of September to the end of March, but it's been extended. (Sell on exit points.)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 17/06. Up 14.5%.) Have reached the end of the seasonal strength, which runs from the end of September to the end of March. Waiting for a technical signal for a Sell.

COMMENT

ETF’s are good adjuncts for investors that want to capture market movements and diversify risks. He only looks at individual stocks, not the market as a whole. If you own, you might take some profits.

SELL

Breakdown of the Canadian market shows 35% in financials, which are very high, 45% in resources, which will have a difficult time as the global economy, slows. If you own, would consider moving out, perhaps offshore.

DON'T BUY

The Canadian market is trading, sort of near a peak, so he expects to see the index sell off in the short term. This will trade almost in sync with what the index does.

TOP PICK

“Buy when it snows and Sell when it goes.” This has been coming down and reached a very important low on Oct 4. Since then, the signals have turned positive. Historically, this would give you a 9-10% return, but if you use the MACD buy/sell signals, the return can be much better.

BUY

These are large caps with elements of safety and good liquidity. If the general overall market goes down, this will go down. The market is slowing down and there might be some correction here for the next couple of months.

COMMENT

Q: Has 30% financials and 70% commodities. Would buying a “put” on this be a good way of balancing his portfolio. A: A smart question. To hedge yourself on the downside, this is not a bad idea. Don't expect to make money on it. It's a loss/risk reducer. Would suggest a pharmaceutical ETF instead.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Dec 6/04. Up 3%.) Has been one of the most actively traded securities in the last few days. Has only gone up 3% due to the decline in the Cdn$. In terms of the US$, you have actually lost 2%.

DON'T BUY

Worthwhile selling options on this? Good strategy of selling a covered call, but in this case the option premium is not very high. Won't get a lot for your money in this case. Likes the i60's units as a holding though. A low cost way to trade the Canadian economy.

TOP PICK

Portfolios should have a core position in equities which should be cost effective, tax efficient and transparent. Indices are cost effective because of low MERs, tax effective as they don't create much capital gain. An average investor might have 70% in the core part and 30% in special situations, seasonal or hedge plays, etc.

TOP PICK

Market at a low and interest rates dropping. A great time to get into equities. Low mngmnt expenses
