No problem….I understand but I resent being called a sucker by “Lookoutbelow”….I wasn’t after any get rich quick schemes, but just looking to diversify my portfolio….I have relatives in Vancouver and go up there every 2 months….I personally have seen in just my last 2 week stay there 3 for sale signs go pending in the 4 block area where they live….Where do you see that in San Diego?? No Where, thats where..
Interest rates are lower there, HELOCs are just 6%, and the immigrants coming in actually have money as opposed to our immigrants who drain our economy..Oh, and they have a strong dollar, budget surplus and natural resouces that we are dying for…
Yes I know they are near the top but may have a few years to run especially with the Olympics in 2010….Before you call me a sucker, just know I was trying to get some general investing ideas…There are many ways to go such as the canadian banks, REITS and construction stocks to indirectly play the real estae game….
I guess the 30% on Fidelity Canada fund YTD v. 9% on the S&P 500 index makes me a sucker…..I am no fan of Canada by any means, just tired of the poor investment outlook in the US….
