"We're strengthening our people in rural Ontario so they have every chance at future success," says McGuinty. "Our goal is to give municipalities the respect they deserve and the tools they need to become more accountable, responsible partners with Queen's Park and the federal government." The premier called for a federal - provincial -municipal commission to fully examine fiscal relations between the three levels of govern- ment and make recommendations that will benefit all Canadians The premier also says Ontario will spend about $300 million over the next three years to achieve a true 50-50 sharing of the cost of munici- pal land ambulance services by 2008. As a result the annual funding for the land ambulance service is esti- mated to reach $280 million this year, $333 million next year and $385 million in 2008. garybean SFCURlTIF5 lTD ON THE MOVE IN EARLY APRIL As spring approaches we are entering the final leg of the building process at our new head office location.

In previous articles we have discussed topics like our professional investment process, RRSP strategies and mutual fund investing. Today we would like to briefly share some of our thoughts on investing in traditional common shares. Investing in common shares can take many forms. For example, many of our clients hold positions in blue-chip companies that have multi -billion dollar market capitalizations. Alternatively, on a nearly daily basis we receive phone calls from people inquiring about the future prospects for very small companies and penny stocks. Whether investing in large -cap blue-chip companies or speculating on small -caps the most important consideration for any investor is the level of risk that they are taking with their hard-earned investment dollars. Quite often investors only focus on the potential returns of the company that they are interested in. To focus solely on returns without considering risk is a hazardous mistake. What you can expect from Gary Bean Securities is an evaluation of both the risk characteristics and return potential of any common share that you are investing in. Whether your preference is conservative companies or volatile speculations we will find an opportunity for you to invest your capital where the risk - return tradeoff is working in your favour. To show you specifically what we have recommended in the past we would like to have you come and view our published materials covering different stock selections. We publish our recommendations so that we have a credible record of our recommendations and in turn you can reliably track our past endorsements. Please feel free to call or stop in to our offices for more information on our philosophies and investment style. We truly believe that we can help you. 1-800-710-5216 235-4099 30 Years Serving The Exeter Community Small Town Values ...
