Another day of gains has sent the Toronto Stock Exchange higher again today as the energy sector rallied again.

With some investors seeking bargains and some sectors feeling the benefits of lower fuel costs it has turned into a good week on the TSX. Energy stocks were up again with weekly gains well into double figures and gold producers have also gains; 7 of the 10 major sectors advanced.
