OT*** In Victoria now. Lots of tourists around here. Just arrived a couple of hours ago. The juniors are acting like they are on death's door. IMHO, some are selling at a small fraction of their worth, but the next day they drop some more. I think that there is a lot of forced selling, and not a buyer in sight. BWDIK?

"Didn't see a single Canadian license plate the whole time, and that includes a lot of famous tourist spots." CDN's rarely go south except as a major designer drug syndrome i.e. the Fr. Canadians going to Carolina in the winter. (I have suspicion that Fr. Canadians are secretly rich and don't talk about it.) Canada is in general a poor country. Think Mexico with huge heating bills and without the sunshine. Nobody is making money in their major industries. Lay-offs and downsizing with free trade and outsourcing now approaching 500,000 in Ontario alone. With the dollars at even there is no attraction to going south even if there was a little bit of spare cash to do so. I see Cocoons of hibernating CDN's from free trade debacles all up and down the highway. We need a new industry to make them into butterflies. What will happen when the market hits rock bottom. youtube.com At the end I believe they are dissecting a broker. This may seem unrelated. If it does, it is because it is. youtube.com EC<:-}
