He was saying it has been the best performing plan he has reviewed this year sofar. i just wish i had way more in there.

Some guys are better lucky than smart.... which category do you fit?

Are you mostly in Canadian stocks and funds?? Eh?? I don't track "their" market but it wouldn't surprise me a bit that overall that market might be better than the US! We have managed to spend ourselves into oblivion... and just about wrecked our housing market (because we're a nation of over spenders!). Maybe we should swap places?!?! But you have to leave the Nova behind.
