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.

iShares Large-Cap Covered Strangle. Basically buying underlying stock (about $17.85) and Selling $18 Call for March/11. This presumes the Canadian market will not do much next year. If the market is above the TSX 60 and the XIU is about $18 he'll simply sell it and keep the option premium of $2.40. If the market goes down he will have to buy another block of stock but it will be at $17 a share.
