The iShares S&P/TSX 60 Index ETF (XIU-T) is recognized as a strong long-term investment option, primarily due to its ability to defer taxable gains. Experts highlight that XIU represents a significant portion (approximately 80%) of the Canadian market index, which includes large-cap stocks in sectors such as energy, banking, and materials. In contrast to XIU, investors might consider the broader market represented by XIC for exposure to small- and mid-cap stocks, acknowledging the higher volatility and risk associated with these segments. Recent performance trends indicate that the Canadian market has been outperforming the U.S. market for over a year, suggesting a positive outlook for investors considering longer investment horizons. Investors are encouraged to reflect on their risk tolerance and return expectations while navigating the dynamic market landscape.

TOP PICK

Top Short iUnits S&P TSE 60 ETF. A lot of people feel that markets are at risk. By Shorting this, you are hedging against the setback that is potentially coming. This ETF has 60 stocks so you are diversified. An alternative to selling stocks.

PARTIAL BUY

iUnits S&P TSE 60 ETF. The risk you bear with this is basically market risk. Expects the market will have a bit of a pullback so he would suggest 1/3 now, 1/3 in the fall and the last 1/3 late in the year.

BUY

Is Corporate Canada’s at its best in one single exposure.

TOP PICK

Support at $11.50

BUY

(Marked Call Minute.) S&P TSE 60. Thinks the Canadian market has got a little ways to go and could be at $10,000 by the end of the year.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 16/08. Down 27% but up 21.5% if you sold in May as he suggested.) Canadian market has formed a nice little base pattern so there is good reason to believe that technicals will take us to new highs. Current target is $17 by April when you Sell.

COMMENT

S&P TSE 60. Use for long-term, low-cost Canadian equity exposure. You could also consider Claymore Cdn Fundamental (CRQ-T).

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) You can own this thing now.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 16/08 to be Sold May 20/08. Up 18%.) Classic seasonal play. Buy when it snows, Sell when it goes.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 27/07. Down 23%.) Exited in May with a 15% profit. Now is the time to Buy.

BUY

In times of uncertainty, large caps tend to outperform the mid and smaller issues. Relatively safe place to be. Ultimately, when the market stabilizes and gets into a bull market trend (probably 2009 or 2010) you will want to be in the mid and smaller cap issues.

TRADE

It’s time to take a broader exposure in ETFs. Feels we are going to be in a global recession.

COMMENT

Pure free floating on the S&P/TSX 60 index (Canadian Large Cap). Not capped like XIC-T. Long term he likes XIC better because of the capping.

BUY

(Caller - Suggesting shorting so that he does not get 2X the leverage and 2X the risk.) Depends on how long a short position you want to hold. If you are looking at a short term short he would suggest BetaPro S&P/TSX 60 Bear E.T.F. (HXD-T) which would be an alternative to this one. This one is a great product, lowest cost equity fund out there. Hard to beat if you want to get short-term exposure or long-term exposure to the equity market.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 27/07. Up 0.9%.) Seasonal play for the overall Canadian market is Oct through to April. Wait for technical indications of a bottom, 15 days of support and short-term momentum indicators.
