Re: new Claymore Oil Sands ETF CLO.TO. I think anything to improve visibility and liquidity of all the oil sands plays will help us in the long term. Many investors I talk to prefer funds over individual equities for any number of reasons, even before talking about it trading on a "foreign" exchange. So I am happy to see CLO start trading but I see no reason to sell my Barclays XEG.TO, first posted about in the above link. I saw the qualificiation to be included in the CLO fund and thought it made sense. It sure seems a lot more concentrated, though (17 positions in CLO compared to 65 in XEG, I believe). XEG.TO positions: ishares.ca

XEG.TO: TORONTO, Nov. 23 /CNW/ - Barclays Global Investors Canada Limited (Barclays Canada) announces today the estimated annual capital gains distributions for iShares funds for the 2006 tax year. Please note that these are estimated amounts only as of October 31, 2006 and include forward-looking information which may cause the estimates to change before the funds' December 15 tax year end. These estimates are for the year-end capital gains distributions only, which are typically reinvested rather than paid in cash, and do not include estimates of ongoing quarterly, semi-annual or annual cash distribution amounts. We expect to announce the final year end distribution amounts, as well as the quarterly, semi-annual and annual cash distribution amounts, on or about December 18. The record date for the 2006 annual distributions will be December 28. The distributions will be paid/reinvested on December 29, and the ex-dividend date will be December 22. The actual taxable amounts of reinvested and cash distributions for 2006, including the tax characteristics of the distributions, will be reported to brokers (through CDS) in early 2007. ------------------------------------------------------------- Net Asset Value Estimated Annual Ticker Estimated Annual (NAV) at Capital Gain as % Symbol Capital Gain Nov 20, 2006 of Nov 20 NAV ------------------------------------------------------------- XBB $0.00 $ 29.36 0.0% ------------------------------------------------------------- XCB $0.00 $ 20.16 0.0% ------------------------------------------------------------- XCG $0.00 $ 20.19 0.0% ------------------------------------------------------------- XCV $0.00 $ 20.18 0.0% ------------------------------------------------------------- XDV $0.04 $ 21.93 0.2% ------------------------------------------------------------- XEG $0.19 $ 79.41 0.2% (snip)
