david ingram replies:

The first treatise on making mortgage interest deductible ever written was
in the North Shore News in November 1976 and has been updated many times.
You can read the latest version in the Nov 2001 Newsletter in the top left
hand box at www.centa.com.

Fraser Smith wrote a book called the SMITH MANOEUVRE in 1985.  It should be
available at any book store or you can check out his website at
http://www.smithman.net/frasersmith.html

insurance, income taxation, differences between stocks and bonds, and
usually the most innovative HELOC mortgage offered in Canada from Manulife
Bank

one of the excellent THAI HOUSE restaurants is in the same building and
makes a nice start to the evening. If it is your first seminar, Fred will
