Short Takes: EI Information Leak and more

1. Don’t tell the Big Cajun Man when EI premiums stop coming off your pay cheque. He’ll use that to figure out how much you make.

2. Larry MacDonald reports on the possible end to trailer fees.

4. Tom Bradley at SteadyHand points out a logical inconsistency in a Kraft public statement about the battle involving Warren Buffett over the attempted takeover of Cadbury.

5. Frugal Trader rates his performance on his 2009 financial goals including a goal to pay down his mortgage by $20,000 more than the regular payments. He managed to exceed this goal!

6. Preet says that the new Google phone isn’t going to revolutionize the cell phone market.
