on my list of 100 best things:
- out in front of the finance section: bnn videos. There's nothing else like it in north America. All the best, the brightest, the tomorrow's news latest, the smartest, the most famous, the most conservative, the most buccaneering, the most astute, the less astute and the most talked-about commentators parade in rotation before a hardworking review stand of canada's top broadcast business journalists. As retail investors, we wouldn't normally get to rub shoulders with these analysts and CEOs. It's almost eerie that mom and pop can phone or email their personal investment questions and receive - nearly always - better answers than they're likely to obtain from the majority of paid advisors. The fact that the expert opinions frequently clash is a big bonus. Markets clash, and so do the pundits.
- i couldn't trade, now, without the vast array of new td waterhouse web research tools. Funny that somehow i survived for years without these in the past. The older research was already good, but this new wow stuff is something else again.
- the best short little book on options is free @ the montreal stock exchange, even though they have tried hard to keep this easy-to-read jewel buried out of sight. On m-x.ca, click publications, guides & strategies, scroll down to equity derivatives, click equity options reference manual. In 50 nifty pages, you'll go from novice to greeks-in-algebra.
- i don't yet know canadian money forum well enough to have an opinion. Certainly a lot of expert insights here into ETFs and taxation implications of US investments. But dudes, what do you do for fun.
