Perhaps I should've framed my "Buy Canada" differently, for those more risk averse or those sitting on the fence or those wanting simply to increase their investment exposure outside the U.S.

After all, I posted it on the Oil Sands thread! ;>)

I had updated my notes and shared it with some non-savy investment friends, so thought I would post it here.

It's also a matter of investment style. At one point I had over 35% exposure to Canada, which I was comfortable with but some may consider too much. I put my mother and sister in EWC. My mother had no Canada exposure and it was my sister's second invesment choice, ever.

Perhaps we should consider EWC as "oil sands on training wheels." It gives my mother 27% exposure to Canadian energy, 19% banks, 15% materials, 10% insurance, as so on. Perfect for her as puts around in retirement. I just see her with her seat belt on.
