Canadian dollar pushes to parity - again: an ETF to profit from

The Canadian dollar is almost reaching parity level with the US dollar - again. It touched 97.5c yesterday.

BNN had a segment on the loonie's push to parity. The loonie dropped a little today after the Bank of China increased reserved requirements to curb lending. Fundamentally, however, the Canadian dollar remains in a bull market.

The biggest risk is rewards favors short CAD now, but if it pushes 98 cents it could go to 1.02.
