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
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.
