Canada threatening top spot in the medal standings and new highs for the TSX

By Justin Turner CIM, DMS®, CFP®

Things couldn't be better for Canadians these days.  Canada just beat the United States in the Men’s semi-final and is threatening Norway for top spot in the medal standings which would be an amazing achievement and beyond anything thing most of us would have thought possible.  The men’s team will now try to take home gold just as the women did in their amazing comeback against the American’s.

The TSX has also done well, and looks like it could challenge its all-time high before the year is out if not sooner.  Amazingly enough, the TSX has been up every trading day in February except for the first trading session of the month.  Gold and oil stocks have lead the way but the strength has been across all sectors.  For the first time in a long time it feels like Canada is a great place to invest your money, although I cannot say the same for the Canadian dollar!
