Market. He thinks not much of real substance will come of the meeting between US and North Korea. The problem is what will happen with his twitter feed. He thinks there is an opportunity for Canada to mitigate the issues with trade tariffs. Trump is good for the stock market.

Crypto Currencies. Bit coin is very different to the rest. It is more like digital gold. It is a store of value or wealth. The bit coin market is too small to significantly affect the gold market.
