Does it matter anymore. Every nation is in the same boat. Just a bunch of numbers on a computer screen. Click a button and it resets.

Errol, is that something you maybe don't realize? That the rules of the 'old' game have changed?

Completely agree Bower. There is 0 accountability.

Bower, tweety, hear your point. But there will be 0 accountability until the 'everything bubble' (outside of commodities) eventually breaks.

Once the 'everything bubble' cracks, then accountability and finger pointing will show its ugly face. That's the elephant in the room (IMO) . . . .

Oh I do agree something big will happen eventually and shit will hit the fan. My point is there is pretty much sweet all us "common folk" can do about it. We will all be swept up in a tide of debt, government unaccountability, corporate greed, incompetent people in charge I guess I'll put every penny I have into land and physical assets. But even that can be taken away as history has shown us.

Errol if commentators such as your self keep saying the market is nervous pretty soon it will be and you ll finally be right.
Is there a time the markets aren't nervous? Things change in a short period of time shorter than they used to partly because of this technology which this forum is on.

I totally agree with Big's comments in Regards to Errol. The guy has been saying markets nervous now for 4 plus years.. If you listened to his comments you would never leave the house... Not hard to see we have India troubles, North Korean trigger happy, Boy socks wonder being the epic tool he is, the list goes on.... No s hit times are nervous!!
If I got paid to throw out comments that would also be my signature slogan! "Markets are nervous!" lol

Oliver, calling currencies is one of the most difficult markets. But resistance levels up are now support lines going down. Do see a major support line just below 76 cents. Loonie could also break above 80 cents should a U.S. recession spook their dollar into 2018. Oil prices very unpredictable, but believe Saudi Arabia has lost its Midas touch. OPEC has lost an incredible amount of power.

Interesting to see what happens and if a recession comes into play. If the USA has a recession don't you think Canada will have one at the same time?

Always seem to read things that basically say the USD is the least scary of the bunch so funds stay parked there.
Weaker oil prices should create a stronger USD vs CAD?

[the big wheel]

Why would USA have a recession trump says it's booming??? Lol

[errolanderson]

Cdn inflation released this morning showing a slowdown in October. Little chance of a further Bank of Canada rate hike in the foreseeable future (IMO). Loonie under pressure as a result.

The mystery of 'lack of inflation' continues to haunt central bankers.

Why hasn't inflation been sparked at some point since 2009, especially with all the government intervention QE. I mean real inflation, like the 70's and early 80's?

I can perhaps understand the USD not inflating because of it being "reserve currency"

But why hasn't inflation come to Canada, especially since crude prices fell? Our dollar should be closer to 50 cents.

Errol, can you give 3-4 points why inflation hasn't occurred? Is it truly a mystery?
