It can be better than the Canadian system only if you have the money to pay for it. I have never been a patient in the American system (thank god, I like my house). I'm not arguing that the QUALITY of care in the USA is top notch, because I think it is. My problem with it is due to enormous...

I don't mean to belittle your sickness but of course you are being told to keep checking it every year. Even if it is nothing, DR's want you to keep coming back a) to limit their liability and b) to keep collecting from you. Even if there is a 98% chance that it is nothing, they will have you...

Glad to see you have found the strategy that allows you to print money. Nobody has ever got into trouble by averaging down. Why haven't I thought of that?

Now that's a number we could live with. Any less than 1.1 stings in Ontario. Except for cross border shopping raids of course.

Yes, which makes up the majority of Canada's economy...

Keep holding on to hope... I've never heard of anyone making calls like that 10 years into the future...pure silliness.

My bad on the misspell. Ironic for sure. I'm not saying Buffet is a genius soley because of this investment. I meant in general, the man is a genius. You don't make as much money as he has by not being one.

I think he means there is no hurry to get in. Take your time and don't rush things. The market will be here tomorrow.

You don't know nobody else had the chance to grab the investment...For all you know, others passed due to the risk involved. That being said, it was indeed a sweet deal. You claim corruption, but the way I see it, it was just a smart man making a smart investment at a time when others...

If's and but's are irrelevant. The fact of the matter is it didn't get wiped out, and Buffet stands to make alot of money because of it.

People are still claiming this? Capitulate already...

Obviously. You don't become the world's richest man without having a connection or two. But the man is a genious nonetheless. Who else had the balls to make that kind of investment in an American bank at that point in time? He is infinitely confident in his abilities and it shows.

True enough. But still fun to ponder nonetheless.

Rising loonie poses a problem, however. Any FOREX junkies care to enlighten me on a USD/CAD prediction through the end of 2009?
