Scotia has broken below its June low, others will follow eventually and so will all the major market indexes before this is Bear over. Starting to slowly nibble a little on BNS, long term no problems here, but it will go lower and I will add. Coming out of the Bear, just remember that one cannot have a recovery without the participation of the financials.
If one does a 40 year chart on the S&P 500, Sept., Oct. and Nov. are the worse months of the year, Oct hitting the lowest point. I would expect to see a capitulation low in Oct. of this year.
Next week BOC is expected to raise interest rates by 75 basis points on the 7th, some call for 100, we will see. Sept 20-21 the FED meets, and is expected to raise 75 Basis points.
Earlier this year pundits were calling for a 3% rate by the end of this year, this summer it was 4%, now many are talking about a 5% rate. We will see. Better to be more aggressive early than later, when the economy is strong they say, and can take the hit. It takes 6 to 18 months for any rate rise to start having an effect on the economy. They can always cut when they overshoot, which is the usual pattern.

Here is a chart that doesn’t look all that bearish. Nice price action in spite of the commodity selling off and the $TSX plunging. I’m impressed and I’m not often impressed.

Here is a 20 year chart of the $TSX. Price is now only 5000 points above its long term uptrendline It was 10,000 points above its long term uptrendline just a few months ago. So we’re getting there! ( It is a little early to jump up and down and wave our arms around.) The good news is financial institutions are paying much higher interest rates on our cash now with even higher rates to come soon enough. Put that in a TFSA GIC and there is no tax to pay. Things are looking up………………..
