Toronto, Canada, February 3, 2016 – Learn-To-Trade.com Inc. (
www.Learn-To-Trade.com), Toronto’s leading provider of professional stock market trading courses designed to create successful traders on the financial market, reacts to November’s gross domestic product (GDP) data and announces Tuesday, February 16 and Thursday, February 18 as the next dates for its complimentary two-hour stock market trading workshops. The Canadian economy advanced 0.3% in November. In September, the Canadian economy decreased by 0.5% and reported zero growth in October. November’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth came mostly from increased retail activity and wholesale trade, energy extraction, and manufacturing.

It also sharply lowered its GDP predictions for the first quarter to 0.8% and 1.4% for the second quarter.” (Source: “Monetary Policy Report, January 2016,” Bank of Canada, last accessed January 20, 2016; https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/mpr-2016-01-20.pdf.) Karpouzis explains that the Canadian economy fell into a technical recession in the first half of 2015 when GDP fell for two straight quarters. While Canada is no longer in a recession, it is not showing signs of sustainable growth. Low commodity prices and the weak outlook have been hurting the TSX; in the first three weeks of the year, the TSX shed almost 8% of its value.
