The Currency Share Canadian Dollar ETF (FXC) is a unique investment vehicle that allows exposure to the Canadian Dollar (C$). However, it is important to note that holding such ETFs is often seen as more of a speculative bet on currency movements rather than a traditional investment. With assets amounting to $61 million and an expense ratio of 0.40%, FXC has encountered a decline of 4.4% over the past year, which correlates with the depreciation of the C$. Experts express a preference for U.S. dollars (US$) over C$, indicating a general cautious stance toward FXC at present. Overall, while it may serve a purpose for those seeking currency exposure, it lacks the stability that more conventional investments offer.

There are not a lot of options other than just holding C$ cash. There is an ETF that represents the C$, symbol FXC in NY. Assets are $61M, fees 0.40%, no leverage. It is down 4.4% in the past year with the C$ falling. Generally, we would view such securities as a 'bet' on a currency, rather than an investment. We would, today, still prefer the US$ overall.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Mar 18/13, Up 1.93%)

TOP PICK

Canadian dollar ETF tends to rise in Apr and May. Hedges your portfolio. Expect about 2% but add more if you are using it as a hedge.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 17/09. Up 62.76%.) Still loves this one. Pure play copper mining. Copper is still one of the best metals to be in going forward.
TOP PICK
Currency Share Canadian Dollar ETF. Just tracks the value of the US$. Thinks the Cdn$ will rally against the US$ and will probably be above par in the 1st quarter of next year. That would probably be the trigger to sell. (Also has options so you could do covered calls.)
COMMENT
Trades the US$ against the Canadian$. Not leveraged but are a one to one ratio.
