"Interest rates are low in Canada and are tax deductible on investments."

Hey Traps I have noted your hint at borrowing money to invest in two posts now. I would have to say you should add that people should ONLY be investing money they are either prepared to lose or can afford to lose. That would be a responsible statement to add.

Personally after what I witnessed back in the 2000 bubble days, I would say this simple rule of thumb applies to all investments and may save many a lot of grief and anxiety in rocky markets. No one can even guess how long to expect before there is an upswing let alone a bottom.
