Acording to out Prime Minister there is no problem in our finacial markets.... I quess his definition of " Financial Markets" does not include the stock exchanges in Canada...

He's begining to sound more like George every day..... I guess if you say it isn't so every day you eventually believe your own comments.

The substantual sudden drop in Venture stock valuation should attract the sharks.... they usually come in to feed when they see distress in the market.

There is another added atraction, that being the the sudden drop in the Canadian dollar, and mystical strength in the perpetrators currancy.

Now if I were the Chinese I would be using this as the oportunity to dump the US dollars they still hold, in favour of undervalued Canadian commodity stocks.

I think about 50% of that 1.3 trillion dollars the Chinese hold, could buy all the venture listed stocks today!
