1. Madhavi Acharya-Tom Yew of the Toronto Star finds that women and the elderly are turning to online investing to take charge of their financial dealings. I may be biased about the importance of this article because I was quoted, although something happened to the first sentence of my quote. My blog was also included in the Toronto Star’s list of best free online investment web sites. Any time I get mentioned in the same list as Canadian Capitalist I’m happy.
2. Larry MacDonald is on the side of the Competition Bureau in its battle with the real-estate brokerage industry over access to the Multiple Listing Service. I agree with Larry’s thinking on cartels. I’m a believer in free enterprise, but it only works when there is true competition.
3. Where Does All My Money Go? examines home bias: our tendency to invest our money in our own country.
4. Big Cajun Man’s finances are sent out of whack by some big purchases.

Congratulations on the quote. You have a great way of communicating powerful ideas through your blog, but your quote in the article was hard to follow. Did they catch you just after a dentist visit with your tongue still a little frozen?
ReplyDeleteI'm just kidding, obviously there was some weird editing involved there.
