1-5 yr Government Bond ETF. Good product. 5 bonds in each of the 5 years, 2 provincial, 2 federal and 1 crown corporation. Yields about 3.7%. If interest rates go up, you don't have a risk of a credit default but there is an interest rate risk.
BUY
NYMEX Oil Bull+ ETF. He remains bullish on oil and prices are at a Buy level. You have to be careful of this one because the multiplier effect. These are short-term trading vehicles for day traders, not for long-term holds.
COMMENT
60 Inverse ETF. If he were betting against the market and going into an inverse, this is one he would choose because it is not multiplied.
COMMENT
S&P 500 Inverse ETF. If he were betting against the market and going into an inverse, this is one he would choose because it is not multiplied.
COMMENT
“In the money” covered calls versus “out of the money” covered calls? On “out of the money” he first all takes a look at X dividend date to see how much dividend he will collect. Looks to pick up 6%-8% over 6 to 8 months. Normally goes out 6 months. Rarely uses “in the money”.
COMMENT
NYMEX Nat'l Gas Bull+. Not a long-term hold. Average hold is 6 days.
BUY
You are fine with this product but he prefers the BMO products because he likes pure bank plays and is hoping they'll have options on them someday.
BUY
China Index ETF (XCH-T) versus CNX Nifty India ETF (XID-T)? Likes both a China specific and India specific product.
BUY
China Index ETF (XCH-T) versus CNX Nifty India ETF (XID-T)? Likes both a China specific and India specific product.
DON'T BUY
BRIC ETF. Doesn't particularly like BRIC products because Brazil is resource-based so he'd rather deal Canadian. Also he wouldn't invest in Russia.
