Just like the Casino, they never loose anything, just win big...

I must be one of the few loser that com tribute to the billions they rake in.

Ottawa being the Nortel HQ, if full of people that were millionaire (@120 a share) but now have nothing... not even have a pension after working there for 35 years (well they get it until Dec 2010).

My company (Defense Industry) had a booth at a job fair during that time, I spend a day there. It was my worse experience in my life. Multi degree engineer begging for clerical job.

I got 2 guys working for me, in their 60, with Military Pension still at work because they lost too much, same people that were laughing at me because I was only getting 3-5% return (on already 100% employer matched contribution) from Guarantee interest Certificate.

I'm still at work (apparently too young to retire says the wife ) but I'm working for toys , Das Babe being one of them.

Its the old adage; if you can't afford to loose it...
