TSX-Venture: Red Hot

June 8th, 2007

Something many of you may not realize is that one of the hottest stock markets in the world during the last few years is in Canada. You don’t need to invest in some third world developing country with iffy governmental practices and no true ‘rule of law’. The TSX and the TSX-Venture (for Jr. companies, extremely small cap companies with future potential) have been red hot over the last few years. Canada is an oil/gas and mining powerhouse. Not only does Canada have a wealth of resources beyond what many even realize, but it has plenty of the world’s best experts. Even the Canadian dollar is somewhat linked to the price of commodities like precious metals, gold and even oil and gas. Some of the largest oil/gas reserves in the world are located in Alberta (Research Oilsands - More Than 175 Billion Barrels of Oil).

While many of the companies are based in Canada and have many of their resources in Canada, many foreign companies are now opting to join the TSX or TSX-Venture due to its place in the mining and oil/gas industry.

For those of us investing in the TSX and TSX-Venture over the past few years, we know the true strength of our economy. A lot of people in Canada have made a lot of money if they were actually investing in Canadian assets. But for those that don’t know much about investing in Canada, I want you to read an article by an investing professional titled “The Hottest Stock Market on the Planet“. Enjoy!
