SPY

TOP PICK

Currency hedged, which is important with the Canadian dollar so strong around the world. Exposure to 500 companies.

TOP PICK

S&P 500 $Cdn ETF. This is a US ETF hedged back into Canadian dollars. Cdn$ continues to gain strength.

BUY

Not concerned about risks. Derivatives risk is not as big as people think it is. The risk is that the US$ would strengthen over the next year.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Nov 10/08. Down 3.16% for 12 months but this a 6 months call and he is now out of this. Time of year when he is more conservative but will go in again in Oct 27.)

TOP PICK

Chart shows a little head and shoulders pattern and it is trying to gently move up. There is resistance around $15.

BUY

You can use as a hedge to eliminate the high risk of the US$.

TOP PICK

S&P 500. This one is completely hedged against the decline of the US$. He is looking for the US market to bottom in the next 3 to 4 weeks. This is what you want to enter. Then look for a good move right through until the end of April.

TOP PICK

S&P 500: May was when you should have been conservative but now is the time to get back into the marketplace. He is looking for an increase in the broad market. This is a good way to play it.

TOP PICK

You want to buy the US market right now and in Cdn$. US$ will go lower. There is a hiding period from the time the US president is elected until he takes control, end of October to end of January. Continue to hold until April/09.

COMMENT

The seasonality for the S&P500 tends to be from the end of September to the end of April. If you had purchased in this period, you would have made a profit in 9 of the last 10 periods with an average return of 8.6%. From the end of April to the end of September, it has gone down 2.7%. If you own, continue to hold. If you want a short, wait until next spring.

BUY

An excellent way to gain exposure to the US market. It is essentially a Cnd$ based version of the S&P 500 index. (See also SPY-A entry.)

SHORT

A good one to short. Internally diversified so won't blow up on you as a result of a takeover.
