Random Thoughts: Flip, Flop and Flu
The Flu Pandemic and the associated hysteria continues on, with folks who are not high risk “queue barging” and then acting holier than thou when others say they have not been vaccinated yet. Interesting exercise in Anthropology this whole thing, makes you scratch your head and wonder what might happen if things get worse?
In da Financial Blogosphere
No real single theme this week in the world of financial blogging but still some interesting posts, none the less:
- The Canadian Capitalist writes about the 2009 Globe and Mail Discount Broker Rankings, which is interesting, given it doesn’t mention my brokers, but I haven’t had any issues with them (yet).
- Michael James shows that greed is good by Trying to Profit from the End of Oil, where he reviews a book that really doesn’t tell you how, which seems a bit of a tease really.
- Larry MacDonald points out the importance of Pay Yourself first vs. Budgeting quoting a few chestnuts about the importance of taking your cut before you pay everyone else.
- Preet talks about ETFs again in ETFs with Few Holdings… What’s the Point?
- Gail Vaz-Oxlade takes on a sticky issue in Making a Complaint about loans made to folks who should not be given credit.
- Free at 45 writes about His Simplified Retirement Plan, which is an important plan to have, unless you want to work ’til you die.
Snow on the ground in Ottawa, that will hopefully go away, enjoy this weekend!

Thanks for the mention. The whole flu shot mess has me laughing. I keep seeing ads telling me how important it is that I have the shot, and authorities keep telling people to stay away until those who truly need the shot have had one.

Even in a health ‘crisis’, money talks, it seems. A sad commentary on our species. Makes me wonder how we managed to get this far.
