iShares MSCI Canada Index (ETF) (EWC)

CAPS Rating:
*****

Exchange Traded Funds

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

From which country do we import most of our oil? Saudi Arabia? No (but the Saudis are at #2). Venezula? No (they're #4, behind Mexico). Iraq? Iran? Nope. Our dear friends in the Great White North! Yes, Canada at 1.9 million barrels/day in 2002). This is an ETF ...More

This etf is dominated by energy companies and Canadian banks that seem to have largely avoided owning the toxic debt that plagues many American banks. Throw in the very hot POT and RIMM, and the Canadian ETF should continue to outperform our market.

Clicking "Beat this Stock!" will bring you to a company with a higher rating than the one you're currently viewing.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
