Global TV at 5 .

BOC Gov Carney telegraphs the sucker punch thats coming.

"At a media conference, Mr. Carney said the bank believes, all told, savers will outstrip borrowers, as incomes begin to grow on better job market conditions. He told reporters households should plan their financial affairs “prudently” on the anticipation that interest rates will eventually return to a more normal level."

Theres so much bullshit in the spin cycle this morning it's hard to know hwere to start. Is that the 'plan' the government agencies see so much confusion and panic in the population on so many levels that they just start blurting out information in a hope that the entire mess will hide and absorb their own misdealing? If I was a cheat , a liar and a scumbag I would see these times as an opportunity. What a bettter time to get away with something when people are running for cover? Mortgage scams, civil rights abuses, negiligence all front newsworthy stories, but essentially hidden in the cannon shot barrage of monumental scumbaggery from the supposed 'people in charge. 1) Weren't the yanks torturing prisoners for 'just a little information?' Didn't Canada set up its own citizens for torture flights… Read more »

Loss of docs was making news in 2007 when Countrywide went to court for transfer of deed and produced a printout instead.

In this case the judge gave title to the original owner and told CW to only come back with the original loan agreement, which they had apparently lost. Ouch. In BC I don't know the requirements but likely a signed piece of paper is needed. One of my old coworkers signed a mortgage agreement wtht Citizen's Bank a few years back. He found a hole in the wording that would have meant he wouldn't have to pay 1cent back.… Read more »

for once, I agree with realpaul

this swine flu could really be the shit that hits the fan

it'll probably kill less people than the normal flu does each and every year but the media is pumping and people out there are starting to freak out

The current market by all accounts is being ‘overstimulated’

Good point…and on the backs of seniors who will stay home from the coffee shops, casinos, airports and golf courses because their interest income has plummeted.

Just FYI heres an example of a Canadian company with a similar beta profile but I have included more information than is provided by the Yahoo site. Depending on when you bought/buy this company you could be in the black or the red. Personally I think this is the best company for security of income of any of the five examples and currently the return is fair secure, but anything can happen and we could see additional principal deterioration without changes to the dividend? Another question when buying US issues is how you accounting for the Forex gains or losses, the holdback commissions and the tax filing expenses into your renumeration expectations. MANITOBA TELECOM SERVICES INC., $33.35, Toronto symbol MBT, gets about 70% of its earnings and cash flow from the province of Manitoba, where it is the main supplier… Read more »
