W. H. Thornburn, chairman of the Toronto Stock Exchange board of governors, sees a small revival of confidence by Canadian investors, but much less than I had expected by this time. He forecasts continued sluggishness in trading until corporate earnings improve. Thornburn thinks there could be new speculation in oil and gas stocks when results of winter drilling become available. Cost-cutting and other controls have prepared brokers for any new storms, he says.

Following the market: When the market is at a low - as it is these days - that could be a good timie for a novice to get into the action, advises Dave Conway, a broker with Davidson Partners Ltd. in Toronto. But it's important not to jump in blind, he cautions. The biggest mistake prospective investors make is not being aware of what their objective are, he say.
