For quite some time now, I have been part of the Alberta Primetime Money Panel.  For those of you that have never seen the show, Alberta Primetime is a daily current affairs show airing weeknights from 7pm MST to 8pm MST. Airing across Alberta on CTV Two Alberta, Alberta Primetime drills through the surface of current issues to explore the ideas and concerns of Albertans.

Every Monday, the Money Panel is hosted by Jennifer Martin.  Once or twice a month, I get to share my thoughts and opinions on some of the most current financial issues.  This week, we covered high cash balances of corporations and whether they should put that to work, the continuing growth of debt and how to get money out of RESPs.  Check out the show here.
