Nothing proportionate in response

Stephn Harper: Stock Market Tipster Par Excellence

James Laxer: Stephen Harper: Stock Market Tipster Par Excellence < read me.

October 8, the day after the ever-perceptive leader of the Conservative
Party was suggesting that Canadians buy stocks, the TSX closed at
10,056, down from the all time high of 15,073 reached on June 18. The
trouble with Harper’s advice is that since he gave it, the TSX has
continued its downward trend. On December 24, it closed at 8,311, down
17 per cent from the day he provided his stock tip.
