I have an accounting degree and have taken more than my fair share of tax courses. Believe me, we do not pay much more in taxes than the average American. The 42% you mentioned above is certainly not representative of what most Canadians pay. Anectdotal evidence is useless. Perhpas there...

Yes it's far more believable that a magical genie snapped his fingers and everything suddenly appeared...

So your broad and "religion-like" answer confirms my belief that Christians are indeed religious... The words religion and evidence should never be used in the same sentence.

I envy you! Being able to predict the future like that with such accuracy! So I assume the fortune you are about to make will be substantial enough for you to retire?

And creationism is illogical.

I admit I am ignorant when it comes to religion. I have never been to church in my life. What is the difference between being religious and Christian?

This depends on how the investment is classified. Unrealized gains/losses are recorded through the income statement for held-for-trading securities other comprehensive income for available-for-sale securities. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at cost with unrealized gains/losses...

LOL I guess we will have to agree to disagree on this one. How is the computer business anways? Sales are great I'm sure... Why don't we come back to this thread in a year and you can tell me how great your Blackberry is and how you can't do without it. We'll also chat about how many...

Registered June 2009. How do you know what things were like in 2006?

You pay only for premium apps like the golf GPS I mentioned. Many apps come standard with the smartphones and many more are free to download. Prediction - you are 50+ years old and don't know how to work this new technology. Am I right?

Gimped contact list, organize, email & internet?! Have you not been to the Apple or RIMM app store? These smartphones can literally do just about anything a computer can do! I recently downloaded an app on my Blackberry that allows me to get yardage information etc. on THOUSANDS of golf...

Those are three of the hardest hit states, especially for RE. I'm assuming you know people (maybe many people) who have lost their jobs and/or houses because of where you live. I no longer blame you for being bearish as this would emphasize the negatives for anybody. I was in your neck of...

Don't be afraid, come on over to the dark side! The way I look at it, if for some reason I die and there is a heaven and hell etc. etc. etc., I will be going to the same place as all of my friends anyways so who cares!

I KNEW there had to be a reason you were so bearish! Anybody in there right mind from Michigan would be just as bearish! Explains all the articles from the Detroit Post as well. It all makes sense now.

Investment bankers made them popular, but that is only one very small demographic of smartphone customers now. As soon as the iPhone hit the market consumers woke up and needed to have one. Do you think smartphones will go away? Demand diminish? As they become cheaper to make, they will be...

Wake up?! You wake up, my friend. Every single business person I know who has to go on the road for any length of time has a Blackberry and considers it essential. You clearly don't travel on business. Obviously it's preferable to use your computer for computer functions but that's not...

You are absolutely correct with respect to your 5 year time frame, but I am not looking that far ahead. Simple microeconomics tells us that competition will inevitably increase and margins will inevitably be squeezed. The only way RIMM can stop this is by continuously being able to develop new...

Religion is one of if not the #1 cause for violence in the world.
