Run Away

This story happened a couple of years ago by now, but I still remember it often.  My friends from Calgary made the 3 hour drive to visit me in Edmonton.  We decided to go to a restaurant on Whyte Ave called Continental Treats.  My wife craved their European food to remind her of momma.

Here is another tale of BMO incompetence and thievery:

I have a margin account with the Investorline brokerage through which I fooled around with daytrading for a little while.  One of my MOs was to sell short if I though a stock was going to fall in the near future.  To sell short I have to borrow stock I don't have from the brokerage, for which I am charged interest.  After I make the short sale, I immediately put in a buy order to cover at some lower price and wait for the stock to go down.

The news just came out a few days ago that cell carrier Telus started a service for soft-core porn video and images right to your phone for a monthly subscription.  The backlash was quick and Telus soon backed down, even though thousands of users had subscribed to the service.

Bank of Montreal does it again:  I got a letter from BMO telling me that they were going to raise the rate of my unsecured line of credit.  No reason was given.  It looked simply like a mass insert that was probably sent with everyone's monthly statement.
