About a year ago I decided to invest ~$100 in gold using an unorthodox method. Due to the fact that it was (and still is) a risky method to invest, I only put $100 to $150 USD at risk and was fully willing to lose every dime of it… Here is how it […]

On Monday, the TSX fell over 600 points, a 4.75% drop on top of the drop from last week. Canada wasn’t the only market hit: London down 5.48%, Paris down 6.83%, Frankfurt down 7.16%, and Asian markets did much the same. All of this occurred while the U.S. markets were closed for a […]

Most investors are probably laughing at the title… How could Yahoo EVER grow as fast as Google? Quite simple really… Google has become the fat kid who is going to have one heck of a time if he wants to continue to double in size… Enough of the bad analogies though.

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and I wish you all a Happy New Year! Looking back at 2007, I think it will be safe to say that it was the year that market turbulence really began to become part of the normal investing climate. Looking forward I think it’s […]
