Gold and Energy, yes. In the meantime, for the China and HK market, i will look into properties (china, south side) and Auto parts.
Not sure if i can put down some numbers here...but I think they will be major winners this year.

Ha Ha, "小僧" I thought Buddhism teaching is to convince people not to be concerned with worldly things, such as making money, gambling, or looking at beautiful women.
No, I am not rich. I used money from part-time jobs to buy ExxonMobil back then. I only own small number of shares through DRIP (Dividend Re-Investment Program), so the # of shares accumulate over the years. I am by no means rich, otherwise, I would stop working.
Yes, it's some sort of trust in Canada traded in stock exchanges in Canada only (they don't trade as ADRs here, it's difficult for foreigners to buy them). The dividends are really juicy (plus dividends are taxed at lower tax rates in US). These trusts are in cyclical industry though, they are on the uptrend for the past few years. The potential appreciation and big dividend are very appealing.
As a consolation, one of the trust sent me a nice pen and brochures on things I cannot buy.
就算加國也有很多不明朗因素. 下星期南下, 所以要預先投票了. 基本上不同人當家就有不同的 unit trust 政策. 這問題已拖了兩年. 現政府是對中產放錢, give us tax break on unit trust. 不過很多 unit trust 就不准外人插足, 稅亦不同. 所以美國人投資加國 unit trust 是此路不通了. 當然也要看大選結果.
It's tough to keep up with the latest investment strategies. I only buy big company Blue Chip stocks for long-term investment (including ExxonMobil which I've held for the past 10 years, never day-trade, also holding "Dogs" Merck and Pfizer). Because I don't want to complicate my life.
az259,
Are you a Canadian citizen or legal resident of Canada? A few months ago, I was really interested in buying some stocks in Canada. But I did the legwork, they only allow Canadian to buy these types of stock (I guess this is a Protectionist policy).
