S&P Financials ETF. This is a contrarian play. He is switching from gold ETF's (XGD-T), which has had a nice run, to this one for a 4th quarter rally. Looking for it to go to $24-$25 and the XGD to settle back down to $23ish.

(A Top Pick May 11/10. Down 3.1%.) S&P 500 (Cdn$-Hedged) ETF. Expecting the Cdn$ to go to PAR and once we are there we can go back to buying US ETF’s. Expecting the US market to do well with the S&P 500 up 50%.

High Yield Bond ETF. Likes this one. Owns it in taxable accounts because it’s tax advantaged.

(A Top Pick May 11/10. Down 6.3%.) Financial ETF. He loves the US financials because 1) earnings are quite strong underneath because of reduced loan losses, 2) US is moving more towards a Canadian model and 3) everybody hates them. For trader types, you can go from $14.50 to $17, which is not a bad flip. He could see it reaching $30.

(A Top Pick May 11/10. Up 7.52%.) Broad Emerging Market ETF.

REIT’s. Has done incredibly well this year and may go sideways but he doesn't see it going down. This is a core position for him. Gives 1) great current yield, 2) exposure to real estate across a number of real estate categories and 3) has a lot of liquidity. Can see it in the upper teens eventually.

An actively traded Exchange Traded Fund. It manages to bring together the 2 worst parts of mutual funds and ETF’s, i.e. it is expensive and is ineffective. He is dead set against buying actively managed ETF’s.
