stux weekender september 10 1994 p 21 investors are facing fantastic opportunities this fall from page 20 that unsold inventories jumped to their highest levels in six and a half years in fact about two thirds of all the activity in the second quarter was to fund inventory that wasnt sold the way i see it there are very few things that can hap pen the merchants can slash prices in the next few months to unload inventories production can slow down until inventories are wound down or the fed can realize its mistake and cut interest rates later this fall at the least it will realize theres no need to increase interest rates for most or all of the rest of the year if we have large sales there will be no fear of inflation if production slows there will be no fear that the economy is running at too rapid a pace either of these developments would remove any pressure for interest rates to rise then we have durable goods orders these are big ticket items like stoves fridges and tanks in july they collapsed by 42 per cent some of this has to do with shutdowns in the auto industry so they can get ready for new model lines however ifs still a sign that the economy is doing nicely but at no time is out of control this interest rate thing is being overdone in canada we have our own individual circumstances our huge government deficits scared foreign investors away until interest rates rose so far that we looked like a good buy foreign money is once again flooding back into canada that helps support our dollar and can allow interest rates to fall further we do of course have some political unrest in canada any surprises will hurt the dol lar which in turn will force the government to increase interest rates temporarily to support the buck but the key word is temporarily we cant share our friendly city with a foreign student mkicwukcmmm genevieve 17 from french belgium has arrived in canada for the 9495 school year she is presently in a temporary family but needs to have a permanent family she plays on a basketball team and enjoys coaching a younger team she hopes to share her language and heritage with her host family and community we need families today host genevieve or another foreign student during the 9495 school year call now sandra raton at 905 7747719 or the national office toll free at 1800361 7248 l 8006631 549 1 enjoy o nationally acclaimed course 1 14 day advance booking by visa or mastercard national pines golf country club afford high interest rates commodity prices actually fell in canada last month and of course our higher interest rates will have an even more dramatic impact on consumer spending habits so how can we benefit well there should be lots of goods on sale for businesses lower interest rates mean they can last longer even with invento ries in fact corporate profits are cooking along nicely and will continue to do so for the next couple of years for investors this is a fantas tic opportunity they dont really have any worries about interest rates rising and they know they have a reasonable expectation for them to fall as a result if you buy invest ments that are interest sensi tive but are also in a position to benefit from higher profits you will have a fantastic two years ahead of you while mortgage funds have disappointed this year they are recovering nicely now and will continue to do so however bond funds will do better and equity funds are the place to be for the next two years historically the fall is bad for stock markets remember black october however this fall i think bargains snapped up on any corrections are going to pay off handsomely pool closing specials book now to ensure your date professional service includes 10l liquid chlorine shock 500 ml wintertime algaecide 225 silver pools hwy 48 1 km north of 1 6th ave in top value gas station 4726871 mijormtdnnxi silver pools lth avenue a n highway 7 1 full selection of winterizing products available now
