I agree demand for potash will continue and they have a good position in china. I would Prefer Agrium over Potash just because of more diversification. BMO-umm not my favorite bank, I think the riskiest out of all of the banks, highest potential for a dividend cut thats not what I would be worried about but with more credit card defaults and problems with Harris Private bank I think BMO will underperform other banks and share dilution could also be a potential problem. I rather stick with RY, TD and BNS. XIU and XFN I think are perfect play for anyone who doesnt want to pick individual stocks. I look for dividends so thats why I pick stocks, but either or both of the ETF's I think are a good fit for anyone. I like potash, just too much beta in it for me.

I can see this stock go back up to the $200 level. BMO - Bank of Montreal - Fine, not top bank pick but highest divident yield among canadian banks. No way BMO will ever go bankrupt. XIU - ETF for S&P500/TSX - can we all agree that the TSX will go back up to mid 2008 levels? This ETF also pays a dividend, lower MER than mutual fund, more liquid than mutual funds. XFN - ETF for financials - not ready to risk your money into one bank? agree that most canadian banks will rise in price? here is a way to spread your risk among TSX/S&P500 listed banks.
