Quotes of the Day

The Residential Tenancy Act allows the landlord to inspect the rental unit once a month as long as you are given the proper notice (between 24 hours and 30 days in writing, saying exactly what date/time they want to come in). If the landlord puts the notice in your mailbox or mail slot it's not considered received until after three days from the day it was delivered. It it was mailed, then it's not considered received until after five days from when it was mailed. Unless you agree to something else, your landlord can only come into your suite between the hours of 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. [2015] - Kris Anderson

Make lump-sum payments whenever you can afford to (most lenders let you do this on one of your regular payment dates during each year of the mortgage term) by tossing "found" money--tax refunds, bonuses, cash gifts--at your mortgage. Lump-sum payments go straight toward principal, saving thousands of dollars in interest and shaving years off your mortgage amortization. By shortening your amortization period, your mortgage payment will be higher, but you can save a ton in interest. Round up your mortgage payments to the closet $25 payment increment, so you're paying a few extra dollars a month toward your mortgage. [2017] - Sean Cooper

I’m a staunch believer in using technical analysis as the main method of trading, but I still think it’s important to know why the market is doing what it is doing. [2003] - Marcel Link
