The economy is slowing.
We have just went through a 5 year bull market with things going up every month. Now, there are economic factors at work that will put us into a bear market. The US economy is expected to take a dip due to the spending on the war in Iraq, the American people have been using the increased value of their homes to fund their lifestyles. This has an effect on the world we live in. I am not surprised that the economy is slowing, the economic cycles from low to high and then reverses every 7 to 10 years.
I also suspect that it is because we have been spoiled for a long time here in Montreal when it comes to SPs and MPs. We have the lowes prices on the continent and the market seems to be saturated.
