    Need info on organizing a stag party for a friend

    I would not recommend doing it at a strip club given your requirements. Some smaller banquet halls will let you do it there if you guarantee a bar minimum. I am sure you can get a stripper to dress as leia but you would probably have to supply the costumes. Some people even go out and get...

    Best incall location?

    I think ample parking would be more important then along the subway route. If your clientele took the TTC to get around you better charge a low rate.

    Looking for recommendations on blue-chips to hold

    Where to stay

    Manadalay bay has the best pool area. Manmade beach with a lazy river. Ceaser's is nice but cabbies hate coming there and costs you extra as it is a bunch of left turns to get to it. I would avoid any of the older ones. i.e. circus circus

    Why are Canada's house foreclosures still expensive

    It is because of demand. In the US housing prices are in a downward spiral and US Banks have a large amount of supply to get rid of. In the Canada the opposite is true. Canadian banks have no problem holding off for a price which ensures they recoup all of their original loan value plus...

    Where to get the best rates on Canadian dollars?

    They all charge a fee. The new disclosure rules the goverment set out make it a little clearer. Generally, most bank cards charge a 2.5% conversion fee. As for the paypal vs. credit card, IMHO credit cards are safer as you have zero liability for any fraud.

    Barbeques?

    The 'infrared' is really just another burner. You want atleast three main burners. I have not seen this pan system but it may actually do the opposite of what your thinking. If it catches the grease it will actually prevent flareups as the grease does not get to the burner, weber's have...

    How to protect your portfolio when inflation is on the rise?

    One hedge would be buying a real return bond fund. Most bonds and subsequently bond funds lose value when interest rates rise which is in large part to curb inflation. This is because newly issued bonds will have a higher interest rate. Real return bonds do the opposite as they rise with the...

    This is good advice. A major component of your FICO score is how long you have had revolcong (credit card, ULOC) credit. Closing one you had for several years could drop your score by more then 50 points.

    Credit Card applications getting rejected - Need advice

    How many applications did you make? The lowering of your credit to $300 was likely viewed as negative. These limits are issued usually to people that have never had credit (students, new immigrants). I would suggest a few things. 1. Ask the issuer that lowered your credit to increase to...

    New credit card scam watch the video on the link

    This is not an issue in Canada as the RFID on a chip enabled card is encrypted in the same manner that the chip is. This means someone can pickup the frequency from your card but the information is useless to them. Our friends to the south have decided not to convert to chip enabled cards so...
