OT: 'Off topic' thoughts

I’d guess similar to the Covid years there could be some great deals in the near future,

This won't be anything like the COVID market reversal. The only reason the economy and the market reversed in 2020 and 2021 was because of the massive stimulus that was pumped into the market (and, yes, I very much appreciate that created some of the issues we are seeing today). There will be no stimulus now. Instead, what will happen is that the wealth gap will grow exponentially larger.

In Canada, mortgage rates briefly got close to the 20% range in 1982 but that never, NEVER, happened in the 1990’s as some people tried to falsely proclaim.

I have records of the five year rates for every year back to 1954. I'm showing the 90's highest rate was 10.25% in 1994.

I'm presuming that's 5 year fixed. You want to see what it topped out at your going to need the floating rate

@Donnie740 I've already said I got the date wrong and it was mid to late 80's, everybody on here can see I've admitted it but congratulations
You won the internet, I hope it comes with a medal

What’s going on, in one week both Greg Millen (67) and Ray Shero (62) pass away with no cause given……..

Thought Sportsnet did a great job last night before and during the broadcast of honoring Greg Millen - was literally listening to him call Flames games the week before, and praising the hell out of Kadri. Reminded me that he was commenting on Leafs games while Kadri was here too.

Really sad news.

Not that it really matters or is meant to take away from what you are mentioning, but Millen was 67.
