What's to like? The chart is good. Not upside explosive, but the trend is intact. EWC is diversified compared to many ETFs. The dividend yield is 2.6%. Canada is a resource rich country and consequently EWC has a large exposure to mining and material stocks. With this purchase, all asset classes are now within their preferred ranges. Time to sit back and relax. Oh, I almost forgot, Canadians have an anthem you can actually sing. I'll memorize every verse and sing to the rafters as long as EWC goes up.
What's not to like? A "Special Outlook Issue" of Money magazine arrived in the mail just after the EWC buy order was executed. A cover page blurb shouts "More Stocks, Less Bonds", a kiss of death if ever I've seen one. If it was Barrons or the Wall Street Journal, I'd be worried. Doing what Money recommends has me trembling.
