"Why not take the CSC (Canadian Securities Course) ......?  I suspet (sic) that would be more than you are willing to do and would rather gripe that others should be handing you this education on a silver (or is it gold?) platter"

Great and helpful  "advice"...with a dollop of sauce on the side :):)
Fair enough.

PS
Don't count gold out...its the last rat hole left when the $US,US market  and US rates (inevitably) level out
Currently gold bugs are cashed out chasing US banks and energy etc but they almost always seem to get drawn back to the cheese...
And they love inflation....but you have to look further than 4-8 weeks out to see that sailing into port.
