			<description><![CDATA[TORONTO, ONTARIO--(eMediaWorld - June 11, 2008) - Whether it&#039;s &quot;the property you should have bought&quot; or &quot;the one that got away&quot;, we all have a story about leaving it too late. Based on those missed opportunities, Criterion has launched a new campaign showing Canadians why now is the entry point for investing in the long-term growth themes of water infrastructure and clean energy.

To see the campaign in action, go to www.myentrypoint.ca.

Financial experts estimate that Canadians currently sitting on cash are at risk of missing out on billions of dollars of potential gains, which could be made by investing in equity markets instead. Ian McPherson, President of Criterion Investments, explained that the water and clean energy themes currently represent a prime opportunity to venture into global equities.
