Years ago, all you needed in Ontario to become a Teacher, was your high school diploma and one year of Teacher's College. It was relatively easy to become a teacher. The standards were raised many years ago so that you needed a university degree before you could apply to teacher's college. With...

I'm Canadian and I love Interactive Brokers for buying European or Asian equities but I want to do the same thing with my RRSPs. I can buy foreign equities in my RRSP with Questrade, but they charge 1%, far too much for large amounts. Does anyone know of a better deal than that to buy foreign...

Buy three new American Silver Eagle coins at around $31 each. You'd have to look around for a place to buy them for a good price and where you don't have to pay a lot for shipping. When you go to sell them, you could sell them back to the dealer where you bought them but the difference...

I've had most of my long term investments in hedge funds for many years. My intention was to protect my investments from a major downturn in the stock markets. This strategy served me well in 2008. My fear now is that there could be a large drop in the value of printed money. Stocks would...

For millions of years, Africa was a continent where most of the people were happy and the environment was stable. It was all the influence from outside that messed them up in the last few hundred years. It would be impossible to return the continent to what it was. However, I believe that if you...

I would put a percentage in Chinese dividend paying stocks. China has already announced that they would be increasing the value of their currency by a modest 3% a year. There are many Chinese stocks that will pay about a 5% dividend per year. That gives you a total of 8% a year plus whatever...

If China sets their currency too low, why complain about it. Why don't the Americans and Europeans just shut up and take advantage of it? They need to stop spending their money on cheap imported goods and spend it on instead on Chinese investments that are priced way below their true value...

The whole eyeglass industry is a 100 year old scam. It'll probably take another 100 years before society realizes what's happening. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GlMX4-KfMQ

If you can't write in cursive, how do you sign for anything? Are grade schools that busy that they can't fit cursive writing lessons in between movies and computer games?

That's what anyone that works for the college will tell you. All they're interested in is keeping up the enrollment which ensures their jobs. They don't care if you spend several years and $100,000 for an education and all you get for it is to become enlightened, stimulated or however you want...

So following that logic, gold has increased 20% a year since 2004, our prices should have increased by the same amount in that period. Did I miss all those price increases?

What does this have to do at all with the peak oil theory? Are you thinking that there is so much oil underground that it is ready to burst at the seams? The well is estimated to be leaking 12 to 19,000 barrels a day. So far the well has spilled in total only about a half a million barrels of...

If it were me, I would just convert the purchase price and sale price to Canadian dollars and declare that gain or loss. You can either use the rate of exchange for that day or the average exchange rate for that year available here: http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/E/pub/tg/rc4152/rc4152-09e.html...

If there's something that should be regulated, they should go right to the root of it all. I see that the biggest cause of over consumption is the media. Mainly it's television with constant commercials telling people to buy as much as they can and more. If you really think about it, it's...
