I remeber him as Revenue Minister when I was doing contract work at RevCan, what a door know absolutely no idea or interest in his job.

[...] and his blog can often be, shall we say, a bit questionable. After all, this is the same guy who recommended buying Nortel at $40 as it was falling off a cliff. But, hey, everyone thought Nortel was going to rule to the world, so [...]

He doesn’t like critics too. He had forum before and when people started to point him on advising to buy Nortel at $120 (since it has never to go, just up) he didn’t bother to reply, just closed the f^&*^&*ng forum. Nice move.

Garth Turner was also promoting (1998 to 2001)selling larger houses (with aging boomers, “who will need Scarlett O’Hara staircases?” so later the house prices would decline fast) or at least take a big secured line of credit and invest all in equities.
Don’t forget his TV station in a van, cruising along Bay Street.

Great post Ram – the best yet. (I am sure these past columns will mysteriously disappear from Mr. Turner’s website.)

I’ve always thought Garth Turner was way off with his financial advice. I read one of his books and it talked about buying $100,000 government strip bonds and driving mercedes cars. It just seemed to me that he was WAY out of touch with the average investor. It seems very odd to me that he is now the politician to the masses. Here is a very successful business man whose wealth is far greater then 98% of the population could ever imagine and somehow he has managed to sell himself as the peoples guy in Ottawa??? Nice sales job Garth.
