Hi there Any thoughts on some of our Canadian Banks raising the fixed mortgage rate today? I have a 5 year closed variable rate mortgage right now. Wonder if I should lock in now or hold out?

I loved it all. Yes, it was long days, but I learned so much and met some really fantastic people. I liked Don`s jokes. He`s kind of got the same sense of humor as me. Among my favorite things....Peter Kinches presentations (because I was confused about the whole mortgage thing, and he really...

Thomas Are you going to attend the Calgary Quickstart? Hope so, I would like to meet you and everyone else. See you there!

I`m wondering if their is a saturation with condos and whether we should consentrate on single family dwellings. Like you said UTC Ventures, do the opposite of what everyone else is doing???? Any thoughts?

Well, now it has begun. The announcement from the Bank of Canada foreseeing a flat but sluggish growth in the Canadaian Economy will probably be overblown and everyone will start to panic. I have been dabbling in the stock market and I know that when people get wind of something that may not...

I attended the Fast Track seminar in Fort McMurray. What turned me off about the "Fight Aids Save Taxes" pitch,was that it was totally out of place for the contents of the seminar. This was suppose to be a seminar teaching you how to invest in properties, not save taxes by fighting aids. I...
