Negative Interest Rates

ajl, the next U.S. recession may be one-for-the-ages. The service sector is now contracting which is the last straw. Fallout in the U.S. has now given the loonie a bullish hue . . . 75 cents sometime ahead? This could spark a recovery in crude oil, just a matter of time IMO.

U.S. its in for a rough economic times. . . .

Japan has been through 5 recessions in the past 10 years. Get used to this. Canada because the Harper Gov did not specifically use QE and negative interest rates... is in comparatively good shape fiscally vs the G7. Now the Liberals have room to spend 80B$ and improve infrastructure... to improve efficiency... low oil will cause a big fall out for Oil co's... but every one else wins... not connected to big oil. Since they [big oil co's]were only 12 percent of the economy... and they are being singled out for a hair cut anyway... all is well that ends well.

CDN$ easily ends back at $.80 in a year or so... depends how much Trump pushes the US$ down. If Trump is aggressive... and the US$ goes down big... we will be at par.

Good news is... Trump likes Canada.
