THE beating of a butterfly's wing? No: it was more than that. A snort from a dragon's nostrils? That is more like it. A fall of 8.8 per cent in China's main stock market index last Tuesday rumbled around the world, clobbering share prices just about everywhere. Markets in Europe and elsewhere in Asia were nervous, though Ben Bernanke, [Alan Greenspan]'s successor at the Federal Reserve, seemed to have soothed Wall Street. Given that people still argue over the reasons for the crashes of 2000, 1987 and 1929, it would be premature, to say the least, to tie this week's events too closely to basic economic causes. Europe's economies, notably Germany's, look much less sleepy than they did a couple of years ago. Domestic demand is now the euro area's main engine, although some of the investme...
[...] Suncor has indicated it's willing to abide by the 20 per cent ownership limit after the merger. Perhaps Petro-Canada's most jarring distinction in the energy world was being a chronically lousy performer on the stock market, even during heady oil prices, a company dubbed PetroPig by brokers casting a jaundiced eye on high-risk investments in places such as Libya, where its $5-billion scheme may be subject to the whimsical antics of dictator Muammar Gaddafi.

The firm that made the presentation, AlphaPro Management, is the only provider in Canada of actively managed ETFs, and it is the largest provider of its kind in the world. If the product sounds new, that's because it is. The first actively managed ETF hit the market in 2007, and AlphaPro started selling it first -- the Horizons AlphaPro Managed S&P/TSX 60 ETF -- early last year. Phil Mickelson could break par on any golf course he plays, but if I said to Phil, 'I'm going to tack an extra stroke onto every hole you play,' he's going to have a tough time breaking par," [Ken McCord] says. "That's what fund managers do when there is a 2.5 per cent MER on the fund they manage, and that's why most managers cannot beat their benchmark index. For instance, many Canadian stocks are sold on...

This paper provides further evidence on the value premium using Canadian data from 1985-2005 and a search process involving both price to earnings (P/E) and price to book value (P/BV) ratios. The study documents a consistently strong value premium over the sample period, which persisted in both bull and bear markets, as well as in recessions and recoveries. Moreover, the paper shows that a P/E based search process did a better job of identifying value stocks and arriving at more consistent and sizeable value premium than did a search process based on P/BVs.

The Toronto stock market closed higher Wednesday, powered by rising energy stocks after crude oil prices hit fresh record levels on supply concerns while U.S. dollar weakness gave the Canadian dollar a strong boost to a 30-year high. The Canadian dollar improved on Tuesday's surge of almost one full U.S. cent, up 0.53 cent to 96.52 cents US -- its highest close since late February, 1977 -- as the anticipated rate cut send the U.S. dollar sliding against the euro and other world currencies.
Understanding of international competitiveness has primarily been pursued in terms of economic variables and market conditions. The roles of the government, the socio-cultural-political context in international business, and their effects on competitiveness have largely been ignored. This study involves an investigation into the circumstances of international competitiveness and how it is pursued by firms from different sugar producing and marketing nations. It employs a qualitative method of comparative analysis between Australia, Brazil, and the European Union. This paper highlights the variations of the theme of international competitiveness reflected through different strategies chosen by the three dominant sugar economies

The wave of Canadians making same-day trips into the U.S. surged four per cent to a six-year high of 2.1 million in September -- the month the loonie reached and breached parity with the U.S. dollar and before Canadian merchants, under intense economic and political pressure, began slashing prices on a variety of goods to bring them more in line with U.S. prices. Canadian dollar appreciation is playing an unmistakable role in dampening inflation," said CIBC World Markets economist Avery Shenfeld, noting that even with the strength in Canadian housing prices, the overall increase in consumer prices in Canada over the past year, at 2.4 per cent, is more than a percentage point lower than the 3.5-per-cent increase in the U.S. where housing prices have been plummeting. "Plus, the Canadian ...
