How is 5 weeks performance relevant? Just so much financial pornography.Dudsy wrote:The TSX year-to-date is outperforming the S&P500 by 6.6% in $Cdn (after 5 years of underperformance).

Re: TSX vs S&P500
Most S&P stocks stopped advancing by late 2014; only a handful of stocks created last years positive movement lead by the biotechs and FANG stocks. Well the biotech bubble burst last fall and the FANG-type stocks are looking a little shaky right now.
Back in 2000, with the tech stocks plunging, the "old economy" stocks finally found some support. Right now investors seem to be putting money into sectors that were absolutely hated last year. Is this relevant?... I don't know... it could be.

When one owns VTI and holds it potentially forever, there is nothing to worry about.

Re: TSX vs S&P500
I would hope so given its (and the loonie's) pathetic performance the last few years. How lucky do you feel about commodities?Dudsy wrote:TSX now up 9.9% ytd vs S&P ($Cdn).
FWIW, for full disclosure, I am overweight Cdn equities but have virtually nothing in the energy sector, and I like it that way.

If I look at the S&P/TSX Composite Index, I get a YTD total return with re-invested dividends of 6.4% (TRIV 31/12/2015 = 40881.84, TRIV 18/04/2016 = 43512.59).Dudsy wrote:13.5% ytd... Cdn market is doing well this year.

With the US market up 80%ish over the past three years in CDN dollars, how would you define "stink bid"?Koogie wrote:

(If fairness, looking out over longer terms, it has been playing catch up -- though still relatively high at least in terms of CAPE and still outperforming over very long terms.)
