All is not rosy. Canada still lost 20k jobs in April alone. That tends to be a sign of things to come. Hold onto your hats.
So with the contribution adjustment by CRA to TFSA (can contribute an additonal $5500, to $10,000 per year) i assume the best thing i should do is look to the stock market? thanks in advance.
