– canadianbusiness.com
TORONTO – The Toronto stock market is likely in for more volatility and selling pressure this week as resource stocks react to falling oil and copper prices amid growing unease about the strength of the fourth-quarter earnings reporting season.
Investors are also focused on the European Central Bank, which is widely expected to launch its own stimulus program of quantitative easing this week.
“There’s a lot of things going on right now. And I think that because of this you‘re getting to a point where people really don’t know what to do,” said Colin Cieszynski, chief market strategist at CMC Markets.
Also, the battered Canadian dollar could see further declines depending on what the Bank of Canada has to say next week about interest rates and economic conditions.
North American markets continued to register losses last week with the TSX losing 76 points or 0.5 per cent on top of a 2.5 per cent drop the previous week. The Dow industrials fell 225 points or 1…

Some time ago, MoneySense Magazine chatted with actuary and pension guru Malcolm Hamilton about retirement.
In the article Hamilton stated the following:
“I was cautious and now have more than I need. I have no good use for the money, although I might if we have another 2008.”
