Likes dividend ETF’s that are broadly diversified, and that will pay you income as a proxy for bonds, GICs or bond ETF’s. Doesn’t prefer them for the equity portion, but would rather have a pure equity play if you want it for that.

Has been one of his favourite products for some time. There are 7.2 billion people globally, and farmland is always being eaten up by urbanization, so the need to be productive with agricultural products is going to be going on for the foreseeable future and for the rest of our lives. Should be pretty safe in getting some steady growth.

An ETF that can be contributed to on a monthly basis? There are 4-6 Claymore products that offer this as well as Purpose products. You can get this in the iShare’s or Purpose’s websites.

Using a tax shelter to reduce income down to a point where you are paying tax in a lower bracket. He still suggests this, but the only kind of a tax shelter he uses are called “oil and gas flow throughs”. There are companies in the extraction business that have provisions that were put in the income tax act 40 years ago. They allow companies that were involved in extraction, to flow through the deductions that they would normally be entitled to as corporations, to the underlying unit holders.

(A Top Pick July 4/13. Of 26.14%.) Likes things that are inflation plays, but this is one that doesn’t necessarily have to have inflation to do well. A good diversity for 4 things that you traditionally have in your portfolio. Very heavily weighted towards North America. Still likes.

(A Top Pick July 4/13. Up 20.95%.) Not as globally diversified as some other ETF’s.

(A Top Pick July 4/13. Up 8.6%.) Interest rate sensitive ETF’s really got hit last May. Most of his clients don’t have this any more as they have been pulling out of real estate. Feels real estate, of all manners, is starting to get frothy now.

Great plan if you eventually want US$’s. The great thing about global stock ETF’s is that they are true meritocracies in terms of cap weighting around the world.

This is good news - bad news. The caveat is, do you really need it in US$’s? If you do, then that is fine. He likes that it is global, but he doesn’t like individual sectors, and doesn’t believe in investing in a sector basis. If you are bullish on technology, then this is fine.

Not big on dividends necessarily, but huge on global diversification. This gives you large and small caps, many of which are paying dividends, but that is not the driver of that bus.

Are index ETF’s a good buy now, or should I wait until the market pulls back? The US S&P is fine, and hitting new all-time highs, but he would suggest that you not just look at North America. Something that invests globally would be a better way to do it. He would suggest (VT-N) or (XWD-T). Don’t wait for a pullback.

This is a junior ETF. It has done extremely well. It is still a good market for takeovers.

Emerging markets is probably the most criminally under owned asset class in the world. It is growing faster than anything else.

Infrastructure is crumbling, and we need more. This is a global product, so you are not betting the farm just on Canada or North America.
