I personally feel the assays will do little for the sp right now not with the market on the shaky ground it is on. Friday pretty much every area was down commodities and financials. Of course i would be dead wrong if we had similar assays as DE1 but i'm not sure this will be the case.

Until the US gets a footing with this housing crisis and the credit crisis is over many stocks will simply not perform the way they should. It was said in Canada alone there is 45 billion dollars sitting on the sidelines not being invested until investors and institutions feel it is safer to do so.

So with that kind of cash combined with money from other countries who have investors sitting on the fence how could anyone expect to see the value they want to see in there investment.

This is very frustrating for us all but with all that being said we got in at a very good time economists do believe this will all blow over but it will take time.

Another thing dragging down stocks is inflation it eats at corporate earnings and consumers pocket books and the investors become less likely to invest. So basically what we have is a perfect storm working against us but if we chose to ride it out i'm confident we will be very rewarded.
