  1. Neither...

    It is a bear market recovery and the start of a long term bull market.

  2. Lyle,
    That puts the argument to bed. I'd like to know if there is any precedent to that. That would be an interesting discussion.

  3. I believe Canada's immediate economic risk is the slowdown in consumer spending growth in the industrialized nations due to demographics (aging Boomers). I feel this will lead to low or no inflation, possibly mild deflation, and the same with GDP growth.

  4. Dear Andrew,
    Your assessment is well thought out. Thanks for sharing that. It appears that a majority of advisors about 70% or so believe there is an immediate risk of deflationary concerns coming, and that is most likely precipitated by our strong dollar, and what you cited, as far as declining consumption from boomers - demographics are playing a more significant role in economic outlook, at least in the long term scenarios.

    Thanks again,
    Pierre Daillie
