| August 30, 2006 | | Canadian stock market falls, but raw-materials stocks gain | | Even though the stock market as a whole is declining in Canada, gains by raw-materials stocks are limiting the fall. The Canadian economy (and stock shares) have been moving up at a brisk pace for most of the year, but current Canadian economic data has investors a little worried and financial stocks are down. Spread betting on Canadian stocks can act as a fund as you place spread bets on raw-materials stocks individual to offset losses to the overall index. Or you could short the index at the same time you spread bet long on raw-materials, increasing your potential profit. | | |
