Oil was at $135.09... 2008-05-23 11:32:54 Seems the site I've been using is either slow, or I just don't see it when oil's at its high... Ah, this is why: CBC/AP reported that "in overnight trading, oil reached a new peak of $135.09, but prices came...
Oil Breaks $131! 2008-05-23 11:08:39 Oil is heading up, and, sure enough, the US dollar is down a bit too. Current USD-CDN exchange rate is 1 US Dollar = 0.98486 Canadian Dollar. Maybe I'll start keeping track of the US-Euro and US-pound exchanges too.
What is MoneyEnergy? 2008-05-22 19:18:04 First, from J.D. over at Get Rich Slowly: "I spent like a fool when I was younger because I didn’t know what I was doing with my life. Find a purpose." This statement really strikes the nail on the head....
Oil Breaks $130 2008-05-22 14:06:02 Oil-Price is a good source for real-time updates. Read an article yesterday about what it would be like if it took $132 to fill up your Honda Civic! I don't own a car, so it's all the better anyway. If...
Reinvest Dividends or Take Them in Cash? 2008-05-22 13:40:32 I’ve been reading some good posts like those at Living Off Dividends and Neville’s Financial Blog where people use their dividends as current monthly income – in fact, it’s starting to seem like more investors do this than use automatic...
The Benefits of Canadian ShareOwner 2008-05-22 00:21:07 Recently I spent quite a while searching for the right discount broker. I already had an account at one of the "Big 5" (in Canada, that's RY, TD, BMO, CM, BNS), but I was looking for a cheaper way to...

Duck(s?) in Oil: Struggles of the Loonie and the Greenback 2008-05-27 13:21:06 The Financial Post reports that oil has fallen below $130 (it’s apparently at $129.97 as I write) and that because oil and commodities account for a reported 54% of Canada’s economy, the Canadian dollar is also down again for the...

Should you invest with your student loans? 2008-05-26 12:18:39 I never did this as an undergrad. I assumed it was illegal and unethical. The truth is, though, I never honestly questioned it or invest

Is it Wrong to Sponsor Children in Africa? 2008-05-29 20:15:43 What do you think? My understanding is that some people might view the "sponsorship" of a child by someone in the West as yet another "colonial" kind of move on behalf of the "First World" interfering with the "Third World"...

Wordpress Road Bumps 2008-05-29 01:17:54 1. Where’s the central date function? Every post gets saved at a different date; I can’t even explain it; the dates don’t automatically update themselves and I can’t find the place to centrally set the date and time for all posts. Instead I find myself manually inputting dates, which I know can’t be [...]

A New Home for MoneyEnergy! 2008-05-28 03:32:50 I’ve decided to host my site using Bluehost and Wordpress design. So far Bluehost is fine; I couldn’t get the exact domain that I wanted - you can imagine what that domain is - it was on sale but the seller wouldn’t go below $800 US. So I skipped it. I like [...]

Oil Breaks $130 2008-05-22 15:47:59 Oil-Price is a good source for real-time updates.
Read an article yesterday about what it would be like if it took $132 to fill up your Honda Civic! I don’t own a car, so it’s all the better anyway. If I had the cash I’d buy a Yaris or Prius for sure.
My own prediction is that [...]
