STAY THE COURSE
Friday, October 10th, 2008Every financial expert, economist, and banker I’ve interviewed over the last two weeks has told me to stop worrying about our financial health here in Canada. It’s only been the Canadian opposition parties who have sold us this doom and gloom scenario. In fact yesterday the international banking community ranked Canada’s banks and banking system as number one in the world! The United States ranked 44th! So why, I ask, are Mr. Layton and Mr. Dion trying to scare you? Your guess is as good as mine. The best advice that I’ve been given is to stay the course; after all you can’t stop living. If you want to invest right now, do like I do and buy the odd lottery ticket for fun. Heck the other day I bought a double cash for life ticket; I didn’t get security for life, but I did win $18.00 which was better than a kick in the head and it made me feel good for about 18 minutes! Try it. You might feel better too.
