TSX Tumbles to New Low....

For those of us who have been opening their monthly investment statements be prepared to see a new low for the month of February. As if, the bottom of November 20th wasn't bad enough for the TSX. Today, we have seen a new bottom of 7647.67 basis points. 

This new bottom does not bode well for gains in the future. According to Adrian Mastracci of KCM Wealth Management in Vancouver, 

      Right now, I think there is a higher probability that markets will go down further than there is of them climbing higher because we still do not have a handle on all the problems that are out there. Stocks are driven by two things; confidence and earnings, and we don't have either.

Until investor confidence is restored the volatile ups and downs of the market will linger.
