All investing should be regarded as longer term. The value of your investments can go up and down, and you may get back less than you invest. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. If you’re not sure which investments are right for you, please seek out a financial adviser. Capital at risk.
Canada has a few different stock exchanges, but its largest is the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX). It’s the eighth largest in the world (by market capitalisation). It’s home to more than 1,500 stocks, of which a great deal focus on mining or energy.
