thanks folks. feels good finding this place. I've only just started and it's been really fascinating learning about everything. I've been asking all my closer friends if they know anything about investing -- if they want to learn about it together and it was quite shocking that of the 20 or so people ive asked not one of them was investing. I mean most of them have some sort of mutual fund that is tying up their money but didn't really understand what it was that they had. About 80% use their house as their main investment instrument if you can call a 500,000 mortgage here in toronto a form of thinking about the future but to each their own.

so thanks guys i feel good to be able to find a place that I can ask questions without sounding like a buzzkill or talk about dividends without making the music stop. Cheers!
