Time for that Move to Canada ?

I assume that TSE-traded equities are not affected by this new short-selling ban -- ? If so, Canadian equities may present an attractive long/short option. May also present an interesting case study paralleling similar sectors in the two markets for dual-listed issues, to understand the impact of the ban. Canroys, in particular, have been beaten to a pulp in the last 2 months, and present attractive valuations here. Im looking at stuff like SU, PVX, PWE, CNQ, SJT. ____________ Also, note how China ($SSEC) seemed to turnaround the same time as the commodities and gold. The ultimate beneficiary of this short-selling ban may be non-US markets weighted in commodities. My favorite play remains BHP (Australian ADR), up 5% today.

I was actually joking with my wife by saying I am trying to figure out where will be the next financial capital of the world and move the family there. It was a joke, but I truly believe NYC will lose it's financial capital of the world title in next 10 to 20 years.

Did today mark the beginning of the end to U.S. capitalism ...? All but one investment bank is gone. Where will the long road of decline for Wallstreet lead to ...? Where will the world's new financial capital surface ...? And what of the US dollar ...? Interest rates are set to rise significantly ... Stunning events this past week. cheers, john
