No, China is a major player in world markets. Given that it has almost 20% of the world population, that is to be expected. India should be a much larger player in world markets than it is. It is not natural for the US to dominate world markets like it did for 50 years.

Trump is being investigated by the IRS, remember the idiotic excuse he made for not releasing his tax information? Yes, Clinton was wrong to use a private email server. The term 'unsecured' is meaningless. We are well aware of the breech of many so called 'secured' servers, and her private email server was never knowingly compromised.

No I have not, and where do you get the ridiculous notion that Charlie Sheen is a leftist hero? He is a washed up drug addict.

It seems when you actually study the matter, and stop hiding behind meaningless labels like substantial equivalency that there are indeed substantial differences. The GM industry has long made it difficult for independent study through legal means, circumvented testing, and pushed their marketing line. When detailed analysis is made however, GM foods are not the same. Pushing the story that there are no potential health affects is irresponsible. Although NK603 had comparable nutritional and compositional profiles when originally accessed by the developer company upon registration of their product, our analysis at a detailed, in-depth molecular profiling level shows that NK603 grains, with or without Roundup spraying during cultivation, are not equivalent to isogenic non-transgenic control samples. Putrescine and cadaverine have been reported as potentiators of the effects of histamine, and both have been implicated in the formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines with nitrite in meat products. The most pronounced metabolome differences between NK603 and its isogenic counterpart consisted of an increase in polyamines including N-acetyl-cadaverine (2.9-fold), N-acetylputrescine (1.8-fold), putrescine (2.7-fold) and cadaverine (28-fold), which depending on context can be either protective or a cause of toxicity.

I don`t know what is worse, this complete lack of logic, or calling Trump`s victims sluts. Note that Clinton's email was never compromised. It was private citizen Podesta, or the DNC that were. You somehow figure it is good to leak email because you don't know if it might be sensitive or classified information that might impact national security? How do you come up with these twisted arguments?

Thank you, it is wonderful to see so much good news in one place. While I recognize many of the stories, some are a complete surprise to me.

Trump - private conversations must remain private and the MSM are evil for publishing them Clinton - private email must be made public and the media, especially the back alley media, is wonderful for publishing them

Trudeau - dealing with highest interest rates ever, 2 global recessions Mulroney - lower interest rates, no recessions Harper - lowest interest rates, one global recession Summary - Trudeau bad, Mulroney forgiven, Harper wonderful It seems that to a Conservative everything is forgiven because they have some excuse to blame their incompetence on.

Quoting an article from Dec 9th has nothing to do with today's market. I am going from November 9th to today. Regulation and printing money are two different things. I am not a big fan of the QE, but I don`t see any better solutions being offered.

No, 6%. Remember the election results were not known until after the close of market on the 8th. The lax regulation in the financial markets was huge contributor to the collapse of the economy in 2008. Dodd-Frank was needed, it is far from perfect but to slap on the 'over regulate' label is silly. It also seems to contradict you next statement about 'due for correction'.

If you consider losing several billion dollars doing nicely, then I have some great investments for you.

Actually 6%. During Obama's tenure it has gained 283%

I said long ago that Harper & McGuinty should not have wasted money on GM stock, but selling it at a loss was just insult to injury.

I cited the DJIA, the very item that was the basis for the original comment in thread. There can be no clearer reference, that is a well understood metric that has been around for well over a century (since 1896). If you are going to get involved in a topic on finance and don't know the DJIA or how to follow it without a hand holding link then you should move over to the Kardashian thread.

The years that Trudeau Sr. had the largest deficits, the interest rates were over 20%. Mulroney had 10-15% interest rates for about 3-4 years, and then under 10%. It never ceases to amuse me how conservatives ignore the facts, and spin a yarn.

You are quoting a globe and mail article based on the February Fiscal Monitor, yet you totally ignore the March Fiscal Monitor that would cover the last month of the year. If you want to keep getting stuck in old predictions, then at least be complete and not just throw a dart at the board. Here is the summary of the March Fiscal Monitor: There was a budgetary deficit of $9.4 billion in March 2016, compared to a budgetary deficit of $3.0 billion reported for March 2015. Revenues decreased by $5.0 billion, reflecting significant decreases in income tax revenues and other revenues, partially offset by an increase in excise taxes and duties. Program expenses increased by $1.3 billion, or 4.4 per cent, mainly reflecting an increase in direct program expenses. Public debt charges increased by $0.1 billion, or 7.0 per cent, reflecting higher consumer price adjustments on Real Return Bonds. In other words Oliver's gift to billionaires dropped tax revenue, and his child care fiasco (also benefiting billionaires) increase costs. I suggest however now that October is past you stick to the real numbers as I listed above - new debt for the year of $3.656 billion.

The graphs is not on google, it is everywhere because it reflects reality. I am citing facts, you are citing ouiji board. Yes there are a dime a dozen pundits out there with all sorts of 'predictions', and once in a blue moon one of them is right and then we have them and their sheep braying that for years despite the fact the 99% of the predictions are completely wrong.

The deficit was only because of the stimulus program, you keep telling us that. The stimulus program was over by the time Harper got his coveted majority, but he kept running multi-billion dollar deficits. Face it, the history of conservative government in finance is terrible.

I'm sure Boockvar is well aware of the situation. He is also one of the analysts predicting the bond market will slump. The nice thing about being a television pundit is you can have a different story every weekday, that way you get a steady paycheck as you always have something 'new' to say.

As I stated, the finance department confirmed the exact numbers in October like they always do. It resulted in new debt of $3.656 billion. Everything before is ouija board numbers and don't mean anything. Remember when Flaherty said one May what his deficit would be, and when the numbers came out in October they were $8 billion higher. There was no surplus in Oliver's budget. We will see in 10 months how well Morneau does.

On baloney?

Sorry but the books were finalized in October, not April; that the way is always has been (at least in the past 50+ years). The deficit from the Oliver budget ended up being $987 million. Additionally there was a comprehensive loss of $2.669 billion, due mainly to the reclassification in the current year from the sale of General Motors common shares in April 2015. That is a net debt increase of $3.656 billion. We will know the final results from Morneau's first budget next October.

The real story is told by the numbers: The two most significant rises in the DJIA are the week before the election, and the second week of December. Look at the 3 month charts, they are easy to find on the web.

What about James Marshall? - Harrison Ford in Air Force One. Mind you he didn't really do anything but play the action hero, not really in the job description.

No, we did not. Harper and Oilver lied and lied and lied about a fake deficit. They didn't come clean and tell Canadians that they cooked the books big time by selling the furniture at fire sale prices to create a falsified surplus for a single quarter, and delayed introduction of the Child care programs they created to a later quarter even though they would include credit for the previous 2 quarters so they could hide the multi-billion dollar hit that caused when the middle class began to subsidize billionaires. That is called a lie, a big bold face lie. Trudeau inherited a large deficit from the Conservatives, and anyone who looks at the books and not the lying election propaganda from Harper knows that.
