Friday Random Thoughts

An interesting week with lots of interesting posts and ideas:

  • Nortel’s accounting scandal continues to dog this former High Tech darling with 4 more former VP’s of finance for lines of business indicted by the SEC this week. The former Bay Street darling is down to $16.49 ($1.65 pre reverse split) per share with no bottom really in sight? Hope none of you are getting burned on this one.
  • On the good things to invest in front Dividends Matters does an analysis about whether the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce is a good dividend investment.
  • Our friend over at the Canadian Capitalist has an Ontario pre-election opinion on Daulton McGuinty and his taxing ways. Remember to read and form your opinions about the candidates and then VOTE!!!
  • I must be rubbing off on Larry MacDonald he has an excellent Rant about his laptop computer breaking, hey Larry, ranting about things is MY angle.
  • My home life continues to be a huge money drain with the September Monetary on slaught continuing with large money lay outs for Sports, and School highlighting the out flows.

  1. NCN has a good method for dealing with the September money drain:
    hot to create a budget if you have irregular income.

    I’ve got a constant income, but found that I have a lot of less frequent expenses that are annual or whatever. I calculated them and figured out what they would cost per month. I take that monthly amount and put it into a savings account until I need to pay for one of those expenses.

    So far, we’ve handled a lot of those expenses with our monthly income, so our savings just keeps getting bigger. I expect to use my tax refund for whatever I want instead of catching up on expenses.
