St. Patrick’ s day is as good a day as any to review the TSX. Many banker types downtown and elsewhere pretend to be Irish on this day simple to have a good excuse to have one too many.

We are above the 50% and just below the 62% retracement levels, close to the wave 4 of previous degree level and both the RSI and MACD are ready to turn.
As an aside, for those that care, I must point out that the bear market in Canada started very close to the date predicted by Martin Armstrong, that is the year 2015.75 or October 1, 2015. Apart from his predictions, the story of his involvement with the Republic Bank of NY and the Safra family of Monaco, is fascinating and very real to me.
The TSX is not alone at being at a critical or interesting point. The Dow Industrials as well as the Transports , among many others including light crude oil and gold, are all approaching or at a major trend line;
