Random Thoughts (more cow bell!)
I keep resonating on the message from a very funny Saturday Night Live skit with Will Ferrell and Christopher Walken about how We Need More Cow Bell! Can’t show you the clip, NBC guards their content closely, but I agree with Bruce Dickinson (yes THE Bruce Dickinson), we Need More Cow Bell!
- We saw an odd set of numbers come out of Stats Canada trumpeting that CPI or inflation was lower this month, however, this is also the first month of the drop in the GST as well, so if the Tories hadn’t lowered the GST the CPI would have been 1.0% from December to January? This doesn’t scare anyone? Makes me Fear the Reaper .
- Albertans go to the polls this week to see who will be in charge of North America’s gas pump. Most Americans keep assuming their Oil comes from the Middle East, wonder what they’d do if they figured out it was coming from somewhere much closer?
- The RRSP Silly Season continues on and remember you can go until February 29th (a whole extra day). Haven’t heard about parking my money yet, where you put your extra money in an RRSP with TERRIBLE returns, until you can figure out which Mutual Fund you want to have gouge you in the future. Thought that was a great sales gimmick, makes me want to explore the space more.
- Oil spiked above $100 per barrel this week causing ridiculous price jumps everywhere (including in Ottawa), that kind of price gouging makes me ill. I got a fever! And the only prescription.. is more cowbell!
- Still Lent folks, keep up that financial plan and pat yourself on the back if you are keeping up to it as well.
Yes, it is a strange Friday, and the only way to fix it is More Cow Bell! Hopefully by Monday I’ll be over this odd fascination I have.
