The iShares S&P/TSX 60 Index ETF (XIU) is widely regarded as a strong long-term investment option. Experts note that it serves as a strategy for deferring taxable gains while offering substantial exposure to the Canadian market, which has been outperforming the U.S. market recently. Comparisons to the iShares S&P/TSX Capped Composite Index ETF (XIC) highlight that XIU encompasses around 80% of the broader index's weight, raising considerations about the additional 20% focused on small- to mid-cap and junior resource stocks that entail higher risks and volatility. The consensus suggests that, given the historical and current market conditions, XIU stands out as a compelling choice for investors seeking stability amid market fluctuations, particularly in resource-driven sectors which indicated strong performance last year. Overall, the international markets, particularly Canadian stocks, are projected to remain in a favorable position for future growth.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sept 3/10. Up 1.59%.) S&P/TSX 60 ETF. He always has this in all of his portfolios and they all did quite nicely until they started hitting August. Everyone should have something based on an ETF on Toronto.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick March 4/10. Up 9.9%.) Has this in every portfolio he runs. Very good representation of the Canadian market. He also writes options on it from time to time.
TOP PICK
Buy Dec 19 Call Options on the S&P/TSX 60 ETF. Thinks we are in a trading range and in the 4th quarter we may actually see ourselves come out of this. Think you could get a double on your money. (If you do, sell half your position.)
TOP PICK
(Top Pick Jun 8/10, Up 13% total return) A core holding. This is what you buy if you want something for the long term.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 5/10. Up 13.65%.) TSX60. Likes it because it is optional. You want to make sure you have a core holding in Cdn and US stocks hedged.
BUY
Broad Canadian exposure to large caps.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Feb 19/10, Up 23%) Best way to play the Canadian market.
TOP PICK
(Top Pick May 5/10, Up 15.37%) Always likes having it in a portfolio. Long term Canada will do very, very well. Strong commodities and financial system in Canada.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick March 16/10. Up 13.96%. iShares Large-Cap Covered Strangle expiring Mar 18/11.) Started with owning the stock and did a covered straddle to Sell his holding at $18. Then sold a March 17 Put at the same time and got $1.20 a share. He’ll end up losing his shares but will keep both premiums.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick April 9/10. Up 10.12%.) Tracks the S&P TSX60. The only time he will Sell it is if he thinks the market is getting overheated or to rebalance his portfolios.
TOP PICK
(Top Pick Jan 14/10, Up 13.57%) A core holding for a lot of people. It was outperformed by the small caps, but he can’t emphasize the value of dividends going forward. High quality slice of the Canadian market. Gives you the beta of the market at a very low cost. Dividends are cash so they can go elsewhere. Over time we will revert back to large caps out performing.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick March 4/10. Up 11.27%.) S&P/TSX 60 ETF. Half of the revenue of these companies is coming from offshore. Uses covered call strategy on this also.
TOP PICK
(Top Pick Jan 25/10, Up 11.4%) Core holding. Highly liquid, optionable. S&P 60. Core holding; buy it and put it away. In Canada we have the banking system and the resources that people want.
BUY
The grand daddy of all ETFs in Canada. You could consider XIC or XMD because they are more broadly diversified. XIU is the cheapest.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 14/10. Up 3%.) S&P/TSX 60 ETF. A core holding. Tracks about 60 companies in Canada with 3 main sectors of resources, mining/minerals and financials.
