What has Happened to Canadians that are Holding US Securities
Here's a monthly chart of the S&P 500 Index in Canadian dollars. You can see that the Index is still down almost exactly a third from the dot com bubble high in March 2000, and only up around 30% from the bear market bottom in March 2003. You have to feel sorry for Canadian investors in the US who have been getting killed lo these many years. The worst possible position for anyone to be in - think of retirees or marginally employed single mothers - would be having to meet CAD expenses with USD income.
