You Can Now Buy/Sell StreetWise Fund Online From ING

I have been an ING Direct customer since year 2006. The service from ING Direct is very professional and helpful. The only complain from me will be the lack of the ability to buy their mutual funds online. Each time when you want to buy into their StreetWise funds, you have to call them. The whole process is somewhat inconvenient. Today, when I was checking my ING accounts, I noticed that there is a new feature from ING Direct Canada. You can buy/sell their StreetWise funds directly through their website now! Moreover, if you want to setup a monthly contribution, you can do it online too! I am glad that ING is making such a good improvement on their online services. That just makes my life a little bit easier

Update On The Interview

I have been doing interviews for the past couples of weeks. That is the main reason why I have not been posting for a while. I got a call from one of the recruiters last week and was asked to fly over to Alberta to talk about the job a little bit further. They said I am going to talk to the senior manager who had interview with me and also the director of the department. I think this is a good sign and hopefully I can score the job eventually. Let's keep my fingers crossed. :)

Salary Review

I have finished my salary review for my current year. Not surprisingly, I got the average 5% increase as others. After tax, I will probably get $50 more each pay cheque. I have decided to put all of them into my mutual fund purchase. From now, I will be contributing about $500 each month to my mutual funds.

Hilton Head South Carolina

I love traveling and hope I am able to go to a place which I have never been to before every year. Based on my own tracking on Facebook, I have been to fifty cities in eight countries. As I am searching for my next travel destination, it seems that hilton head south carolina is a fun place to go. There are variety of fun and safe activites offered all over hilton head island such as tennis, golf, kayaking and even surfing. I have never surf before. It will be great if I can try and pick up that cool sport. If you have friends who love shopping, hilton head is also a great place to go as it has two huge outlet malls offering over 100 stores! The climate looks nice on hilton head as well. Summers are warm, but the ocean breezes help to cool things down. Winters are generally mild and tend to be short. Spring and Fall are temperate and gorgeous. It seems to be a great travel destination for everybody. I think I will look into this place more.
