investments: Canadian Dollar at par with US Dollar - 04/06/10 12:11 PM
It seems like yesterday when the Canadian Dollar was at par with the US Dollar. It took less than 2 years for the exchange rate to equalize again. But what does this mean for the Canadian economy?
Generally, the lower the value of the Canadian dollar, the more Canada was trading. When the dollar was at par in July 2008 it reflected a weakening economy in Canada. But is that still the case?  More than ever Canada's economy is strong in comparison to markets with which we are trading.

investments: Warren Buffett Says its Time to Buy U.S. Equities - 10/17/08 05:02 PM
Warren Buffett has said he's buying U.S. equities if the prices stay attractive.
"A simple rule dictates my buying: Be fearful when others are greedy and be greedy when others are fearful," Buffett, 78, said in an opinion piece published Friday in The New York Times. "Most certainly, fear is now widespread."
