Midget Reps in '91-'92 season? | By BRENDAN HALPER Sun staff writer A possible lack of players could mean the Castlegar Midget Rep hockey team will have a very short, if any roster at all, next year. Midget coach Paul Phipps is tak- ing an optimist’s view on next sea- son's possibilities. “Judging from from the sources I’ve talked to, I think that if all the boys who play in the Midget divi- sion were to return, there could be the potential for a 14 player team,” said Phipps. However, Phipps is still unde- cided about his own plans for coaching next year. “I’m just trying to make it through this season,” said Phipps. The players themselves think the chances for a 1991-92 Midget sea- son are pretty slim. . “Castlegar probably won't have a Midget team next year,” said defenceman Derek Lalonde. “There’s not much hope,” said forward Jarrod Beck. “I don’t think many guys will be playing Midget next year and the guys who don’t make Junior could drop out. We're just trying to make the best of this season.” Team manager Keith Beck is takingta “wait and see" stand on the issue. “I'm not sure what the chances < are for a team next year, but as it. stands we only have about eight players lined up for 1991-92," said - Beck. “We need at least twelve players to make a team and over - half of our present roster is made up of second year Midgets who won't be qualified to play next season.” Beck says he’s counting on new People moving to town with kids around the right age to play Midget ~ bockey. “It would be nice, but sometimes it just doesn’t happen,” said Beck.”1 guess we'll just have to wait and - sec.

Mardon It’s still too early to say the Stock markets have acheived a real turn-around, but the prospects for a sustained “bull market" Iater this year are very good. The recent upsurge in the mar- kets indicates.investors are taking advantage of great buying opportu- nities. Many high-quality stocks become under-valued during the protracted “bear” market. Buying | them now, while they're still going cheap, can lead to some significant capital gains later on. ‘That’s what stock market invest- ing is all about: buy when prices are low and sell when they're high. The trouble is,‘most people don’t recognize when is the truly appropriate point in time to pur- chase sell. They trend to panic and consequently do the wrong thing. This can be costly to the indi- vidual, who then becomes morose and refuses to invest in any forms of equities.’ They revert to being so safety-conscious that they only buy fix-income securities — or, even’ worse, leave their saving dollars in banking accounts. ‘What's wrong with having all your money in a banking account? To put it plainly, you are lending your money to the bank, trust com- pany or credit union for a pittance. A financial institution grows rich by paying you, say, six per cent interest on your Ioan to’it (yes, in effect you are lending your money by depositing it in a savings account). Then the institution tums around and Iends that money to a borrower at 12 per cent or more. . . Although the financial institu- tion pays you six per cent for use of your money, the fact is you end up as a net loser by having your hard- * eamed dollars in a.savings account. That's because of the combined: effects of inflation and taxation. Currently, inflation is running at about five per cent of interest income earned by your deposits puts you into the red, in terms of purchasing power of your savings. ‘The obvious lesson tv be drawn from this is that you should keep a bare minimum of money in a sav- ings account. Just enough to cover any sudden emergency, of a minor scale. The balance of your savings and investment dollars should be put to more productive use. You should consider opening up a chequing account:with a Money Market mutual fund, one that is d by a well i reliable mutual fund company. That will give you ready access to a good portion of your savings. Because a money market fund gen- erally invests in government trea- { sury’ bills‘ahd other top-quality . financial products, you can‘expect to get a 10 per cent or better rate of retum. That’s a vast improvement over six per cent. The rest of your savings dollars . should be prudently spread over a variety of other financial instru- ments. The whole idea is to achieve safety of your capital through bal- ance and diversification. History has shown us that it’s unwise to “put all your eggs in one basket.” It has always been difficult, of course, to find a simple way to " atw0-Pronged approach. ae First, invest in a well-managed mortgage, bond or dividend mutual fund, or a guaranteed investment certificate which generates a regular income.
