As well, I think Canada's fiscal policies are lot stronger and smarter than that country that exists south of its borders.

Canada's dollar was way over sold in March. It was due to come back. I'm bit surprised as to how long it has taken.

I was shocked, shocked, by some Cdn investment managers going long the US $ in March. What were they thinking?

The fundamentals are there for Canada; the US has a lot more structural problems IMMHO.

To an extent Canada is tied to the US in the manufacturing area, however, Canada has the rich resources and growth capacity.

Given recent strength and action, Cdn dollar could be over brought.

However, given the action of the US government, I think the world is looking for other places to hold their wealth than the US dollar. Therefore, the strength in non US $ currencies and gold. ]]> Tue, 13 Oct 2009 19:14:12 -0400

I think given the market conditions, the risks is high for depression. There has been too much credit, and now it looks like pay back time. If this is the case oil can go much lower. Already, oil is coming off its peak due to consumption / demand being reduced. Long term, oil will move up as supply is reduced. But right now, demand is falling.

Now the US people /govt have decided to convert land from food production to fuel production. So food costs are now increasing.

Is this not what the US people want?

To conserve? It does mean higher costs. See rest the world..

The US has it easy.
