TO BUY NOW

We take the view that the world's recession is approaching
its conclusion — indeed it is likely that many of the world's
economies are already past their worst. We take the view
that the collapse of interest rates in North America,
coupled with the quickly receding inflation rate, will
demand that investors seek other alternatives for their
investments, such as stocks and bonds. We take the view
that the stock markets of the world will anticipate the return
to solid corporate profitability rather than wait for it. In sum
we take the view that this is an excellent time to
accumulate stocks on a worldwide basis.

With this in mind we have prepared a report entitled “SIX
TOP MUTUAL FUNDS TO BUY NOW.” in this report we
have singled out the SIX MUTUAL FUNDS we think ought
to be bought now and given our reasons why — item by
item. The six funds are individually very different —
different in their portfolio structure, different in their

" management techniques; different in size: different in their

goats. Suffice it to say the objective of each one is to find

a bargains before everybody else does. They cater to the

broadest sweep of investor attitudes — from the ultra-

- conservative to the ultra-aggressive. There isn't an investor

alive who shouldn't take advantage of at least one of these

ql six funds.

Research is vital to finding your new home

LAST MONTH I returned to
England to celebrate my mother’s
85th birthday. It was a wonderful
holiday and delightful to see all
my family again. Our family used
the rare opportunity of being
together to discuss with mother
her future and where she should
ive.

By Clare Haley

Having worked in the field of
seniors care for several years, I
felt equipped to help my mother;
however, I found that when put in
the position of a customer, the
choices and decisions for seniors
were more varied and difficult
than I had imagined.

As with many seniors, my
mother is both physically and
mentally active and certainly does
not require nursing care, but what
exactly are her needs and what
setting would most meet them?
Mother determined that security,
companionship, transportation
and an emergency contact system
were her main priorities.

Living alone had given my
mother an independence she en-
joyed because she was driving and

could go where she pleased. How-
ever, once she was no longer able
to drive, the independence became
isolation.

AS we assessed my mother’s
Next move, several questions
arose. Should she rent or buy,
continue in the country with her
friends or move to the city near
her children? How much space
does she now require and how
much can she afford to pay? With
those questions in mind we began
touring various retirement resi-
dences and discovered that as we
did so, priorities became clearer.

Even if you do not plan to
move in the immediate future, |
strongly encourage seniors and
their families to educate
themselves on the options avail-
able so that when the time comes
to make a move it can be done
with the knowledge and assurance
that you are making the correct
decision.

Until recently there were few
acceplable alternatives to living
alone, but now it appears that on
both sides of the Atlantic, the
private and public sectors are
organizing themselves to fill this
need. :

During the past 50 years we
have changed dramatically from
an agrarian society to a highly
mobile, transient and quick-paced
age and seniors’ accommodation
is striving to keep up. In the past,
it was expected by young and old

alike that parents would live with:

their children in their golden

years.

Now parents neither expect nor
desire to do so. They have built
for themselves an independence
they do not wish to forge to live
with their children.

The most important fact to re-
alize is that the needs of seniors
will only increase in the immediate
future, as by the year 2031 seniors
will account for one in every five
Canadians.

In Canada, a full-service or
congregate retirement ‘home has
many forms and offers many
alternatives. The main objective is
to enhance the quality of people's
lives.

A resident is a customer and
has many choices when it comes
to food, activities, recreation,
privacy or companionship and
many other aspects of daily living.
Many residences offer choice of
suite size, flexible meal plans, a
24-hour security system and. the
comforts of home without all the
labor.

Residents have the choice of
making new friends or entertain-
ing old friends graciously in
beautiful private dining rooms or
guest suites.

As my search with my mother
came to an end and I returned to
Canada 1 felt comforted knowing

she would not be moving to an —

old folks’ home. The homes have
been replaced by beautiful resi-
dences where seniors retain their
independence and dignity.
