N/A

Markets. Bullish on wall street. With this volatility in gold he is only deploying new cash in the US markets. If he has a lot of hedge ETFs he gets some that are not hedged. He has been using the VB, which is 660 stocks, generally more diversified and mid cap, generally lower cost. He has never been a gold bug. There are some good trading opportunities for those that want to trade gold. The XIUs are as a far as he is willing to go.

BUY

A former claymore products that was taken over by iShares. Done quite well, but foreign income so the dividends come in as foreign dividends for tax purposes. He has no issue with this one, though.

BUY

Likes it and has quite a bit of it. Written calls on 30 dow stocks individually. Yields are pretty good. Quoted yields are based on last couple of premiums but if markets goes down, so do you.

BUY

A fund of different ETFs. He doesn`t mind it. Diversified. Good idea.

DON'T BUY

Got battered by Atlantic power. Prefers ZWU-T, which had covered calls on the individual utilities.

BUY

Likes it. Doesn`t use it because of a lot of bank stocks. He already has a lot of banks. Great product.

DON'T BUY

Leveraged ETFs. Doesn`t like leveraged ETFs. Not for investing.

BUY

Equal weight banks. Likes sector but has been holding off, concerned about litigation. A good sector with the recovering housing sector.

DON'T BUY

They`ve all been getting beaten up. If you want to play that market then use this but there is greater volatility. Feed and seed companies. Not thrilled with the results.

COMMENT

Attractive yield but he always questions them. Sometimes there is not just a return but a return OF your capital. That makes it look like a high yield. A decent yield but be aware of what you are getting back.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Mar 28/12, Down 25.87%) Sold half last year. Not in a race to get back into it. He was underweight and doesn`t buy gold. He is treading lightly.

PAST TOP PICK

(Top Pick Mar 28/12, Up 15.44%)

Mitigating risk on the Canadian banking sector. Only half is covered calls.
