I had a ton of mentions in the media this week, which was a lot of fun. Hopefully that will continue!
MoneySense interview
I wrote a while back about doing an interview with Dan Bortolotti of Canadian Couch Potato for an RESP article in MoneySense. The article is online – it’s about couch potato investing in an RESP account.
Rob Carrick Newletter
The RESP book got a big mention when Rob Carrick linked to a book review and book excerpt on the Globe and Mail site.
Carnival winner
I won top prize in the Carnival of Canadian Real Estate hosted by Life as Real Estate Investors. The post was actually written by Rachelle, but I’m keeping the prize. 🙂 I’m hosting the next edition so get your entries in. Any real estate articles are ok (not just RE investing).

Thanks for the mention, still reading your book (at work), have had lots of folks ask me about it, and you may get a few more sales there. Have a great weekend!
Hey Mike,
Thanks for the mention! Greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the mention Mike!
@BigGuy – Part of my strategy was to send review copies to good looking people who will influence others to buy the book. 🙂
Your book is definitely getting press. Hopefully that will translate into sales. Thanks for the mention.
Glad to see your book getting the buzz it deserves. This is a great round-up. I learned some new things from Rob Carrick’s stuff and discovered a couple of new sites. Thanks!
On the expensive bottle of wine, I guess I would rather have a bunch of bottles that are a little more expensive than the ones that fit into our budget. We would open one every weekend and toast to Saturdays. 🙂
Thanks for the link. Looks like you are the media’s go-to-guy on RESPs now!
Thanks for the mention Mike. Have a great weekend!
Lots to read here. Some good posts, too. 🙂
