TSX tote board

Nine of the Index 10 main groups were in negative territory :

with five decliners for every two advancers.

Just spoke to my broker earlier today about my maturing GIC and he advised to go the mutual funds route

because historically the market has always bounced back - just look what happened in 2008 (I am no where close to losing as much as I did then)

also, every within every 5-yr period I have always been on the gain side

Canada's main stock index rose on Friday as crude oil prices rallied

and after U.S. retail sales data provided encouragement

It included a 3.6 percent gain for energy stocks

while financial sector stocks rose 1.5 percent.

Relative calm returned to financial markets after a week of turmoil in which investors worried about

the impact of negative interest rates on banking profits.

                       

Still, the index is on track to lose 3.7 percent for the week, having hit a three-week low on Thursday

as disappointing corporate earnings added to broad investor unease about the global economy.

Canada’s main stock index opened higher on Tuesday as oil prices rose

after four of the world’s largest producers agreed to freeze output.

Slumping oil prices, fears of a China-led slowdown in the global economy

uncertainty over the central banks’ monetary policies and unflattering U.S. corporate reports

have roiled the markets this year.

The Dow Jones industrial average was up 140.46 points

The S&P 500 was up 15.98 points

The Nasdaq Composite was up 63.86 points
