I have just answered a similar question at some length in a private message to soemone else, but here I go again.
There are hundreds of Canadian stocks and funds easily bought either on U. S. exhcanges or as over the counter pink sheet listings in the U.S.
When I talk about buying gold, oil, and agricultural products and doing so in a way to be paid in Canadian funds, I mean the following; this is what I own and anybody else who owns them does so at his or her own risk:
Canadian Oil Sands Trust, pink sheets COSWF, traded constantly. I hold half my position as actual issued stock certificate in a safe deposit box. The stock is way down and the dividend has been cut to 15 cents Canadian, but any rise of oil above $50 a barrel and it starts making plenty of money.
Brompton Advantaged Oil and Gas trust, pink sheets BAOGF. Pays about a 20% dividend for the time being. Can only be owned in brokerage account, electronic entry. Consists of 20 or so oil and gas trusts and companies.
Various Canadian gold miners. I have a hige position in NGD, bought at average cost of about $1.00 a share (trades on American Stock Exchange). GDX is an ETF that includes some Canadian stocks. PMPIX is a mutual fund leveraged to a gold stock index.
For Canadian agricluture I suggest Viterra. You can look up its symbols on Yahoo or wherever. I also own (very risky) DAG, a leveraged agriculture commodity fund.
I suggest following these threads:
Subject 54201
Subject 50987
Subject 57110
Subject 24638
There are all sorts of provisoes, exceptions, and clarifications to be added to all these things. There are many other ways of taking similar positions.
I reiterate, do your own research and buy at your own risk. |
