I have no idea if today is a better time to buy than October 7th. The index is 20% cheaper but that doesn’t necessarily make it a better buy. Things could still get much, much worse. Or not. I have no idea what is going to happen to the economy or the market over the next number of months and years. Of course, neither does Barack Obama.
So, while I have no problem with presidents or prime ministers acting as cheerleaders-in-chief for their economies, the notion of them acting as financial advisors to the nation is equally silly on either side of the border.
