Canadian Market View

I use these indexes and ETFs to take a snapshot of the current market behaviour.  Mostly stockcharts.com proprietary db symbols (non-etfs).  The CAD market is heavily weighted towards minerals and mining corporations and financials, you’re not gonna find a lot of health care/consumer disc/etc companies here so don’t look to the TSX for market direction.  Watch the US markets.  Updates to come.

ETFs are a cheap and tradable way to play sectors nearly directly.  2x (and 3x!) also give traders opportunities to ‘gamble’ but they’re also highly leveraged double edged swords.  You should learn how they’re calculated before dumping cash into them as they’ll tear your face off in an hour if you’re on the losing side of the trade.
