The Only Junior Canadian Potash Plays
2008-07-09 07:01:10
Everyone knows that the Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan is the world’s biggest producer of potash, by far (almost twice as much production as its closest peer), and that Canada overall has larger stores of potential potash than any other country.  But there are other potash producers in Canada.  Mosaic, for one, is another large producer.  [...]

Google Going After Bell Canada (BCE)
2008-07-08 13:10:59
This should be interesting.  I’m glad I won’t be a BCE holder much longer.  Today’s story in the Financial Post (Toronto) - Google Slams Bell for Throttling Internet - shows that Bell Canada is still being held to task for its bandwidth control practices.  I checked up on the share prices, but there isn’t much [...]

Take the SRI Challenge: What’s Your Most Socially Responsible Personal Finance Decision?
2008-07-24 07:03:44
OK, inspired a bit by the success of Mrs. Micah’s Single Step Personal Finance Challenge , I have one of my own that I’d like to offer out to all readers and bloggers. We’ve all heard of SRI, or “socially responsible investing,” but my guess is that we all have somewhat different ideas about what [...]

Investing in China? Watch Hanfeng Evergreen
2008-07-23 07:01:41
We’ve all heard about how important it is to be invested in the BRIC countries, but how many of your BRIC investments are direct-ownership?  You probably own through some middle-man that collects fees along the way, like the mutual funds and ETFs do.  Besides, not all the BRIC countries are equal when it comes to [...]

How To Increase Your Money Consciousness
2008-08-09 07:01:44
Dominguez and Robin (the authors of Your Money or Your Life - see my previous post) make a good point in regard to sharpening our focus around money, that is, in regard to increasing our money consciousness. They talk about having spiritual discipline. “Religions, ancient and modern, and the personal growth workshops of the human [...]

Money is What You Trade Your Life Energy For
2008-08-07 07:01:14
Does anyone remember this great definition of money from the authors of the classic book Your Money or Your Life (Joe Dominguez and Vicki Robin, 1992)? I bought this book about four years ago, read it, quickly forgot about it. I’ve picked it up again recently by a chance browsing through my local library. [...]

Whole Foods (WFMI-N) Suspends Dividend, Profits Down
2008-08-05 21:00:41
Well, this is unfortunate. I have a habit of buying stocks right before they make major changes. I should have known how to see this coming. I think I might not have bought the stock. Today Whole Foods released its results for Q3. It has decided to suspend their dividend for the [...]

MoneyEnergy Update: Switching Gears for Boundless Abundance
2008-08-21 17:38:28
First off, one of MoneyEnergy’s articles was published this week in the 26th Money Hacks Carnival hosted by Our Fourpence Worth. Thanks, Penelope! Second, MoneyEnergy’s look is going to be changing again in the near future. Due to some apparently irreconcilable technical problems with the theme that I can’t fix even after playing with [...]

Clutter, Credit and Cashflow: How to Control Them for Maximum Life Leverage
2008-08-19 07:01:30
Returning to the concept or philosophy that money is energy and that money is what you trade your life energy for, doesn’t it follow that if clutter gets in the way of your life energy, that clutter also gets in the way of your potential for cashflow, and ultimately, wealthbuilding in general? It’s intuitive, after all. [...]

Three Dead Canaries and More Market Mayhem
2008-09-18 07:07:03
(1) U.S. Treasury sells $40 Billion worth of debt to the Fed. (2) Wachovia might be buying Morgan Stanley (that leaves only JP Morgan left standing of the 5 Big investment banks, though its shares also plummeted today). (3) Washington Mutual (the biggest savings and loan bank in the US) puts itself up for auction. In other news, [...]

Canadian Banks Safe Amid U.S. September Storm
2008-09-17 12:51:15
Don’t worry if you’re invested in the Canadian banks. BNN reports the following figures on the Big 5 in light of the recent collapses in Merrill, Lehman and AIG: (1) CIBC has the worst exposure to Lehman, at about $25 million, which is apparently not considered much. (2) TD and Royal have said they have only “nominal” [...]

Lehman Brothers, AIG and Now Maybe WaMu - What Do You Do?
2008-09-17 08:37:09
We thought things were bad when we saw Bear Stearns and IndyMac go under, but this past week has seen more financial casualties than both of those giants combined.  Thankfully, Bank of America is buying Merrill Lynch, but Barclays is still sitting on whether to buy part of Lehman Brothers .  The Fed has begun to [...]

How Wealth Begets More Wealth: Ask and You Shall Receive…More Than You Expect?
2008-09-16 07:08:21
You never know what can happen when you just ask for it and keep an open mind, i.e., when you’re not attached to any particular outcome. I called my bank today with some mundane questions about one of my accounts and some interest rates.  For some reason my account wasn’t receiving the posted rate and hadn’t [...]

Bailout Still Going To Work? Don’t Expect Much To Change
2008-10-04 10:59:40
So a bailout was finally passed - practically forced - but what difference will it make?  Do you think it’s going to save anything or anyone at this point?  The state of California alone has already said it’s pretty much out of money.  Talking heads and experts are in agreement that we’re basically in a [...]

Exchange Rate Tip: Be a Better Bank Customer
2008-09-26 07:19:50
I just found out today that because I’m also a customer of my bank’s investment banking outfit, it entitles me to a better USD-CAD exchange rate than regular customers!  I forgot to ask just how much the benefit was, but I am pleasantly surprised since this is the second time in about a week that [...]

Too Much Stuff is Like Too Many Stocks: Dealing with Clutter and Overdiversification
2008-09-22 07:01:57
With all the financial guidance hoopla focused on ensuring that you are diversified enough, it’s easy to forget about the problem of overdiversification.  I admit that it’s not something I’ve had to think too much about yet as I am still building my portfolio.  But it occurred to me today as I was doing some [...]

The Real Reasons For the Greenback’s Current “Strength”
2008-10-23 07:01:11
People want some kind of return on their money.  Especially with the threat of inflation, no one wants to keep their money sitting in their plain-jane bank account.  Where have people been putting their money lately?  It used to be in emerging market mutual funds, financial short ETFs, bull and bear market ETFs, hedge funds [...]

Artificial, Short-Term Propping Up of the Greenback
2008-10-22 15:57:16
Today the Canadian dollar has fallen to 25% below the Greenback.  Analysts think they could see a 30% differential in one week.  Who could have foreseen this a year ago (October-November 2007), when the Canadian dollar was 10% stronger than the US dollar (at the all-time high, one Canadian dollar bought $1.10 American)? The latest central [...]

Commodities Killing Canadian Currency Despite US Hyperinflation
2008-10-20 21:01:56
Unfortunately for me, since I’m currently in the US, the recent dramatic drop in the Canadian dollar is causing everything to suddenly become almost 20% more expensive.  I’ve been waiting for the dollar to turn around again - even last month’s 10% difference is looking really good now - but I fear it’s going to [...]

Municipal Bailouts of Phoenix, Philadelphia and Atlanta
2008-11-14 22:29:53
BNN’s Amanda Lang and Kevin O’Leary reported today on SqueezePlay that three U.S. cities have just written letters into the Treasury asking for their own bailouts - Arizona, Pennsylvania and Georgia are starting to look as financially well-off as California, which is completely in the red.  Is this a sign of worse to come?  What’s [...]

Canada Last Bastion of Free-Market Capitalism… Maybe!
2008-11-10 20:12:00
A great article in today’s Financial Post explains how Canada ’s really the most fiscally conservative G20 member right now.  Ironic, eh?  Flaherty and Harper don’t want any more government intervention in the markets right now. Canada has the world’s best and most safe banking system currently.  Corporations here aren’t going bankrupt and can still issue medium-ter

Baby Boomer ETF? Basket of Baby Boomer Stocks Expected to Rise
2008-11-07 11:16:07
This is really interesting.  As reported in the Financial Times, “J.P. Morgan has put together an Aging Population Index to track a basket of stocks that have meaningful exposure to this group in North America. It has outperformed the S&P 500 Index in six of the past eight years in both absolute and risk-adjusted terms. The [...]
