Review
"This book is like Mal - who is a rider, a rocker and a rebel. He doesn't just think outside the box - he drags it behind his Harley on a cross-continent adventure and then runs over it a few times for good measure. The Bay and Wall Street guys are gonna hate it - Main Streeters should embrace it. One ton of fun!" BJ Del Conte Chase Producer, BNN - Business News Network Business Producer/Anchor - CP24-

REIT’s may not be a bargain; distributions depend on rent being paid.
The Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) has had a marvelous decade as property values just kept rising. It inspired large institutional investors (pension funds for e.g.) to get directly involved. The Canada Pension Plan has 12.1% invested in real estate. … Continue reading

Bonds (ETF’s, Mutual Funds) at Risk even in a Recession

Correction done? Don’t bet on it!
