Market looks great as breadth broadens. It's hard to fight this strength. Looking at past soft landings: we may be getting another one because of strong job growth and stock market, but credit is tightening and if employment weakens, that will be a concern. We'll see. Also, global strife could spark an issue. You want to be in this market, but beware of a sharp reversal as in 2001 and 2008 (crashes) by balancing stocks and bonds, and consider adding managed futures to your portfolio.

Our PAST TOP PICK with ACGL is progressing well. To remain disciplined, we recommend trailing up the stop (from $95) to $105 at this time.
Canadian Unemployment Rate Accelerates
The whole intention of raising interest rates is to stifle and slowdown the growth of the economy, in the case of an overheating economy. This is precisely what was accomplished with the Bank of Canada raising interest rates through 2022 to 2023, and as a result we are seeing the collateral damage of rising interest rates through the rise in the unemployment rate. The Canadian unemployment rate has risen from a multi-decade low of 4.9% to 6.6% as of the latest reading. This is still below highly worrying levels, but the trend is certainly worth keeping an eye on for continued deterioration in the economy. Eventually, we believe the offsetting impact from decreasing interest rates will help keep the unemployment rate subdued, but the timing of this is uncertain.
