Ruchir Sharma : Canada 's per capita income has been a massive laggard since 2010 .

Canada needs to be a bit preemptive about how it deals with the mortgage crisis, he says.

The only positive for Canada at this stage is the fact that the currency has become cheap, particularly against the U.S. dollar.

The U.S. market has outperformed the rest of the world this year , but its share of the global MSCI index is approaching 70 per cent .

A lot of America ’s growth, which the world is very impressed with, is being financed by an increased amount of debt.

The other point I’d say is the dollar is now super expensive.

World is far, far too focused on what Trump ’s impact is going to be, says Andrew Keen .

Keen: The effect of what he can do or cannot do is possibly being overestimated.

Things played out a bit differently than what people initially expected, Keen says.

He says that his policy mix can be both good and bad for the market.
