| BUY | 19.840 | John De Goey | S&P/TSX Materials ETF. All commodity-based ETFs are good diversifiers. If you want to minimize risk and volatility of stocks and bonds in your portfolio, it doesn't hurt to have a reasonable commodity component. This is one of the better products. | 2010-08-23 | |
| TOP PICK | 17.690 | Bill Carrigan | S&P/TSX Materials ETF. Likes materials in general. This one gives you gold, timber, metals and agriculture. | 2010-07-16 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 18.160 | John De Goey | (Top Pick Oct 9/09, Up 4%) He is concerned about this one because of the heavy weighting in gold. This is the one he would sell right now, but he’s encouraging his clients to hold for now. | 2010-06-01 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 18.570 | Brooke Thackray | (A Top Pick Nov 23/09. Down 2.9%.) Materials ETF. Made up of 60% gold plus some Potash (POT-T) and Agriun (AGU-T). Sold his holdings at the beginning of January as they had finished with their seasonal time period. Had made a profit. | 2010-05-06 | |
| BUY | 17.910 | John Hood | Likes it as well as XEG. XMA is very heavily weighted in gold. He would look at a different materials index for materials e.g. ZMT. | 2010-03-04 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 18.130 | John De Goey | (Top Pick Oct 9/09, Up 4.5%) | 2010-02-19 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 18.410 | John De Goey | (A Top Pick Oct 9/09. Up 4.98%.) S&P/TSX Materials ETF. Still a buy. | 2010-01-04 | |
| Comment | 17.830 | Philip Doyle | Materials ETF. He has only bought this for registered accounts in order to avoid any capital gains distributions. | 2009-12-18 | |
| TOP PICK | 19.120 | Brooke Thackray | Materials S&P/TSX ETF. All the components in this are in a good spot now. About 60% in gold plus fertilizers and metals and mining. Technically gold had a nice breakout around October 28 when it typically has seasonal strength. | 2009-11-23 | |
| Comment | 19.110 | Richard Croft | Materials ETF. A basket of basic materials stocks. 17% is made up of Potash (POT-T) and Agrium (AGU-T). | 2009-11-20 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 17.830 | John De Goey | (A Top Pick Oct 9/09. Up 0.024%.) Still a buy. | 2009-11-12 | |
| TOP PICK | 17.460 | John De Goey | It’s on the cheap side. This and China are joined at the hip. They have to have the materials to build the cities that they are building. | 2009-10-09 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 14.260 | Brooke Thackray | (A Top Pick Nov 10/08. Up 26.73% but was a 6 months call and he is now out of this. Time of year when he is more conservative but will step in again in Nov/09.) | 2009-05-05 | |
| TOP PICK | 11.310 | Brooke Thackray | Materials: Has Potash (POT-T), Agrium (AGU-T) and Gold and he expects them all to do well. Commodities sold off because there was too much speculation in them. Material sector tends to do well this time of year and does well until the end of the year. Gets a little weak in January and then runs until May. The materials sector has been oversold on a fundamental basis. | 2008-11-10 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 17.680 | Hap (Robert) Sneddon FCSI | (A Top Pick Oct 9/07. Down 5%.) Right now it looks like this play is over. Don't enter it until you see some base building. | 2008-08-12 | |
| TOP PICK | 37.420 | Kenneth P. Norquay, CMT | This is one of the strongest groups in the market right now. Had a high in July followed by a correction and it is now at new highs. The TSX average is still below the July highs. Materials is going up faster than the TSX. | 2007-10-12 | |
| TOP PICK | 36.800 | Hap (Robert) Sneddon FCSI | Bullish on base metals. In spite of the 12% correction in Canada and 14% in the US, the story is still pretty good. Until he hears otherwise, they are going to continue holding up. Thanks pricing is still good on the fundamental sign for aluminum, nickel and copper. | 2007-10-09 | |
| TOP PICK | 32.160 | Hap (Robert) Sneddon FCSI | This has been one of the strongest, dominant sectors in the last number of years. Since good pricing for nickel and uranium. Likes it on a long-term, 5-10 year basis. | 2007-05-08 | |
| TOP PICK | 21.720 | Richard Croft | Has come off significantly with the sell-off of commodities. If you are a building a portfolio these are interesting ETFs because the dividend one can provide some of the cash flow that you might normally get from bonds and the materials section almost becomes a negative correlator to the portfolio. | 2006-02-13 |
