Canadian Personal Finance Blog

It’s Friday, I am on vacation, so here are some random thoughts from me:

• A Financial Blog Magazine has been published, and I am part of it (how could you have one without my bonne mots?).
• Canadian Capitalist pointed out a great Government of Canada ( CCTB Calculator )web site that lets you figure out how much you will be getting from the government (if you are a parent), in terms of Grants.
• An investment opinion from me is, Don’t buy stock in Dell Computers. I have had more issues with their order entry system than I would think is possible, and this is their business (i.e. take order, make computer, ship computer), if the first part of your business model still doesn’t work after 4 years (it’s a very long story), I can’t see you making a profit.
• If you remember my posts about The iPhone in Canada, I thought that Rogers was going to launch them at the same time in Canada, I was WRONG, no such luck. Oh well, guess we’ll have to let our American brothers product test it for us. An interesting side note is someone theorizes that Nortel could have built the iPhone in the 90’s? Really?
• What is open during Canada Day? I have no idea, now that it falls on a Sunday, but my guess is that most things will close on Monday, and I won’t get snail mail for about a week.

Enjoy yourselves, it’s the weekend!!! -c8j
