COMMENT
You use this to park your cash. Not a long-term investment. This is for the short-term. Has very small price swings. If central banks raise rates, XSH will trend down.
COMMENT
Safe dividend. Operates in Alberta plus BC, and doesn't face the pipeline problems that companies like Enbridge faces. A solid business. They don't suffer. This stock won't do anything until the entire oil/gas sector goes up, and that'll take some time. We need to see some takeovers in this sector.
BUY
Gas stock, not pure oil. Really likes this. It's fallen a bit due to warm weather, so it will bounce up when it turns cold which is likely this winter.
COMMENT
When would you buy a gold stock? You buy these stocks when you expect currencies, namely the US dollar, to weaken, and when inflation rises, which eats into your assets. We haven't seen serious moves in gold lately, only minor ones.
TOP PICK
His favourite Canadian bank. It held in for a long time during the sell-off, then got hit. TD has great US assets that have and will continue to pay off. (Analysts’ price target is $83.93)

TOP PICK
