Both are shit. What can you do in this time? There's a shortage of quality workers. Have you seen any new development? There's hundreds of semi-unfinished homes with little kids dicking around...
Max is a nice guy... but it's just business.
'It's immoral to let a sucker keep his money.' Renters are suckers, it's your moral imperative to set them on the correct path by raising the rent.
No real man sets foot in any store like Walmart/Walgreens/Target etc. That's the wife's job to sort out.
I woke up one day, and everyone turned into a little bitch. What happened?

Warren Buffet ate a roast beef sandwich on Valentine's day... not filet Mignon.
People save because that's how they were brought up. If you were brought up to spend (sorry, hate to generalize,...
It's cheaper than that in some countries :)
A 'gold bug' by definition is a hyper sensitive individual (of questionable sanity). Do you really want to be taking 'investing' advice from these unstable individuals?
Just look at what the self...
Already cashed out (around March) most and went 'safe'. Taking the rest off after the gold dump. Usually (not always), when gold tanks, the market follows as whole. Not wanting to test that...
IF one of the big 4 go under, then trust me, you won't have to worry about 'Canadian Money'.
What's really shocking is that the NDP leader is advocating FOR the free market?!
BOC can't raise interest rates. It's hands are tied in more ways than one.
As an owner you pay property tax on your condo dwelling. Then the entire condo as a whole is taxed again (this is covered in your condo fees).
Condo management usually sucks (I mean, it's a great...
Your 'neighborhood' will consist of the house on the left and the one on the right of yours. People get paralyzed by 'good area/bad area', but 99% of people never even see their neighbors let alone...
Cyprus says; "It's immoral to let a sucker keep his money*."

In an apocalyptic situation I'll take my little .22 Cal Mossberg.
I'm pretty sure my bullets will be worth a little more than trinkets.
The problem with Gold bugs is that
a) They usually...
How many ounces of Gold do you own?
“Gold is a way of going long on fear, and it has been a pretty good way of going long on fear from time to time. But you really have to hope people become more afraid in a year or two years than they...
I was going to pull the trigger today. Really (like the last 10 days, really!).
It shot up, still on the sidelines.
You can 'buy' them, but how do you 'get' them? They ship them to your door?! I see a flaw in this plan.
Does UPS make deliveries to 'the shrubs infront of my neighbors house'??
... weird part of youtube again, how did I get here?
Right now it seems to be a falling knife. I don't want to try and catch it but I reaaaly want to buy. Problem is everytime I man up to an order, it's down another 2-3%
How low can it go?? I buy...
Probably a little off topic, but why don't the credit card companies eat Paypal's lunch? You think they could do what paypal is doing but better/cheaper?
Then you could use the ccpaypalrip off...
Also, you should ask for renters insurance FROM your renters. That way you are dually covered. It means you're not going to be paying for someone's mistake.
Call up your insurance company...
Technically you are being cheap trying to sell it yourself.
Is APPL a buy here or a value trap? $42/share cash!! Harder and harder to resist. $44/EPS, Forward/trailing PE around 10.
Or are they going to flatline like Microsoft? Er, stupid question to...
But isn't it also everyone's responsibility to avoid an accident? So, are you really allowed to slam on the brakes for no reason? Seems like the person doing that is shirking his responsibility.
I think you're going from one 'non-conventional' bank to another one. I would avoid ING all together (where's there branches?) and head to your friendly big 6 bank (TD/CM/BNS/RY etc)
I don't...
No one can predict what's going to happen in 2-3 years, so there is some inherent risk, but, if this is the only way to buy a house in the foreseeable future for you, I would still do it.
If you...
Never dealt with IG but it should be straightforward process. There will be hoops to be jumped through, papers to be signed and fees to be paid. Your 'adviser' is a salesman, his job will entail...
What, you never watched sesame street as a kid? No hockey? No CFL?
I'm old but I still watch CBC. I'm probably more average than you are though.
Will the F35 introduction be that dramatic? I am genuinely interested. I personally think it's a waste of money, but if someone 'in the know' says otherwise, I'm ears!
We do have older planes...
Maybe it wasn't a skimmer. Maybe where you used the CC (online transaction) has been compromised/hacked?
We are a nation of pacifists, moving from that mind set to the Conservative 'follow the American' mindset is going to be very expensive. It's not a viable long term strategy. That money could be...
The mayor just wants to leave his mark on Calgary. He wants to be able to tell people, 'yup, that's the library I built!'
How much is that land worth?
A one way ATM?
What about withdrawing bitcoins for cash? I must be getting old, this sounds like a 'bad' idea. Which means, since I'm old, the opposite happens so it's actually a GOOD idea.
redrocket; good for you. I say if you have the means, you should buy a house.
Forget all the financial stuff, it's an emotional thing. It's just NICE to have some place in the world that is...
Cops are mirrors. You look like a dickhead, they're dickheads. You look like a nice guy, they're nice guys.
I'm all for paying someone what they are worth. What bothers me more is the lack of accountability in our system.
Not just at the top, but all the way down. If a nurse screws up, then what...
Thanks roopi! I crossed the line when I was suggesting 'what to do' instead of simply offering my experience and what I've done.

This is probably already an old story (people have short memories), but how is...
I stand corrected; averaging down is the superior trading strategy. Icky, good luck!
