BUY

S&P/TSX Materials ETF. All commodity-based ETFs are good diversifiers. If you want to minimize risk and volatility of stocks and bonds in your portfolio, it doesn't hurt to have a reasonable commodity component. This is one of the better products.

TOP PICK

S&P/TSX Materials ETF. Likes materials in general. This one gives you gold, timber, metals and agriculture.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Oct 9/09, Up 4%) He is concerned about this one because of the heavy weighting in gold. This is the one he would sell right now, but he’s encouraging his clients to hold for now.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 23/09. Down 2.9%.) Materials ETF. Made up of 60% gold plus some Potash (POT-T) and Agriun (AGU-T). Sold his holdings at the beginning of January as they had finished with their seasonal time period. Had made a profit.

BUY

Likes it as well as XEG. XMA is very heavily weighted in gold. He would look at a different materials index for materials e.g. ZMT.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Oct 9/09, Up 4.5%)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 9/09. Up 4.98%.) S&P/TSX Materials ETF. Still a buy.

COMMENT

Materials ETF. He has only bought this for registered accounts in order to avoid any capital gains distributions.

TOP PICK

Materials S&P/TSX ETF. All the components in this are in a good spot now. About 60% in gold plus fertilizers and metals and mining. Technically gold had a nice breakout around October 28 when it typically has seasonal strength.

COMMENT

Materials ETF. A basket of basic materials stocks. 17% is made up of Potash (POT-T) and Agrium (AGU-T).

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 9/09. Up 0.024%.) Still a buy.

TOP PICK

It’s on the cheap side. This and China are joined at the hip. They have to have the materials to build the cities that they are building.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 10/08. Up 26.73% but was a 6 months call and he is now out of this. Time of year when he is more conservative but will step in again in Nov/09.)

TOP PICK

Materials: Has Potash (POT-T), Agrium (AGU-T) and Gold and he expects them all to do well. Commodities sold off because there was too much speculation in them. Material sector tends to do well this time of year and does well until the end of the year. Gets a little weak in January and then runs until May. The materials sector has been oversold on a fundamental basis.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 9/07. Down 5%.) Right now it looks like this play is over. Don't enter it until you see some base building.
