That's some good advice, puffy. I do intend to invest in a few more companies - get a few hundred shares in four or five companies - but right now I'm starting with a bank because the BMO in particular has paid out uninterrupted dividends for 180 years, which is longer tan Canada has existed as a country. You don't get safer in terms of share investments.

It's a potentially exciting start.
