1. Larry MacDonald takes a look at the latest scorecard comparing Canadian mutual funds to their indices. I like the way Larry takes a thoughtful and balanced view. He correctly focuses on longer-term comparisons rather than just one year and points out legitimate concerns about the fairness of the comparisons.
2. Big Cajun Man finds some common ground with an Imam who declared a fatwa against credit cards because they contain usury.
3. Canadian Capitalist takes Tim Hortons to task for their expensive dividend reinvestment plan. All the fees make them look like a bank.
4. Tom Bradley doesn’t think the ability to trade ETFs during the day is an important advantage over mutual funds. I agree. I’d be happy if there was trading for only one hour per week.
5. Where Does All My Money Go? is giving away 4 free UFile tax return preparations.
6. Frugal Trader reviews QuickTax Platinum and is giving away 5 copies.
Thanks for including my post. Have a great weekend! I don't know about you, but I'm going to try to take in as much of the last moments of the Olympics as I can. (Go Canada!)

ReplyDeleteThanks for the link. Cyber crimes are growing and growing. I had my gmail account hacked, and I'm seeing lots of people with hacked twitter accounts now. Scary stuff.
