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.

TOP PICK
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.
