Larry Berman CFA, CMT, CTA BMO DJ Industrial Ave Hedged to CAD ETF ZDJ-T WAIT Jan 05, 2015

(A Top Pick Jun1 1/11. Up 8.37%.) Likes the Dow Jones Industrial index better than the S&P 500 at the moment. About 21% of the Dow Jones Industrial is industrial in some of the most famous names in the US with respect to companies that will benefit from a global recovery.

(Top Pick Mar 26/12, Up 3.40%) Mar 26 was the high for the year but he owned since the beginning of the year and he is up.

(A top pick Sept 5/12. Up 4.3%.) Wanted a broader based product of US but also wanted to take a currency hedge off. Switched into Vanguard S&P 500 Index ETF (VFV-T). This one was geared more to big international US companies. Dow Jones didn’t do quite as well as the S&P 500 in 2012 because it doesn’t have as big a financial and technology exposure.

The 30 biggest companies in the US. You can use these for income. In a rising market, however, covered calls crimp your gain.

A Cdn$ Dow Jones Unhedged ETF’s? This is one, but is not sure if other ETF providers in Canada have an unhedged Dow.
