The market trend can turn around very quickly. In fact, the indexes often switch from a bear market to a bull market when the news is at its worst and the mood of investors is at its lowest point. I read an article of people that grossed profits up to $150k during this crash, what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist?

Buying a stock is easy, but buying the right stock without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard. Hence what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist? I’ve been trying to grow my portfolio of $560K for sometime now, my major challenge is not knowing the best entry and exit strategie;s ... I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

There's a chance the TSX outperforms the S&P

He still thinks people buy 2by4s at Canadian tire. Another steaming hot take from a BMO adviser..😂

As a Canadian I can say that Canada is toast. With our massive debt levels and over 6% unemployment along with the social problems and housing prices we are becoming another Argentina. It's a bad position to be in and I don't see this changing anytime soon. IDK where this analyst is coming from but he's completely overlooking the issues outlined above.

There are two choices for Canada before our economy gets better. Either the currency is going to fall to 50 US cents for every 1 Cad dollar, or housing prices will fall 30 - 40 %.

Just spend a few months in any major Canadian city and then tell me with a straight face that you want to invest your money in the Canadian economy, I bet you can't. Homeless everywhere, open and rampant drug use, and an increase in crime. Any Canadian paying attention would roll over laughing if someone were to insinuate that the worst is behind them in terms of a growing or a productive economy.

Is that still the case after Canada capital gains changes that took place April 16? Who’d want to invest or create businesses there after this?

[aldenhagel]

[geraldbrowne]

LMAO- the guy is talking his book. Fear for his job. Canada is a toilet wait for the “BOND” flush

You could say you are keeping it open so more people don't want to hit your other things.

You have to have other things.

It sucks, and they are hoes for free right now but it has in theory kept options open for them if they pivot and make moves on the globe as more players will want to protect investments.

[XetaXones]

I love how comedic the trolls are: working overtime to trick us into thinking were worse off than their countries 😂

[dougiep]

It isnt canada anymore. People dont invest in banana republics.

[ElonKarp]

Canadian stocks will do nothing until Polievre gets elected

[MCBC_]

[canadianrepublican]
