Carnivals, Mortgages Rates and More!

Written by FrugalTrader on Sep 21, 2007 filed under Interesting Links

The weekend is near and it's time for some great articles and information tidbits from around the web:

Money Matter and More Musings has hosted this weeks Carnival of Personal Finance. As per usual, a lot of quality finance articles were posted. I submitted my article on How Bond/GIC Ladders work.
With the 5 yr bond rates falling, it was only a matter of time before 5 yr fixed mortgage rates start to fall. Seems that those looking to get a mortgage today should be able to get a 5 yr fixed rate of around 5.70%.
My favorite high interest rate savings account, PC Financial, has increased their payout from 4.00% to 4.25%!
For the first time in my lifetime, the Loonie has reached parity with the US Greenback! A few days ago, I wrote about how to take advantage of the currency situation.
Four Pillars has an informative guest post by regular reader "Telly (I like the name Bootsie better :))" on "Living and Working in Different Countries".

Thanks a lot for the link!

I didn’t know that she used to be “Bootsie”. I wonder why the change?

Maybe she’ll grace us with her presence and tell us a story. :)

haha! I was kind of using both for awhile (started with Bootsie on MDJ) but had registered Telly for google blogs. Since I used that more, I stuck with it.

My sister gave me the nickname Telly and my husband gave me the name Bootsie.

Should I go back to Bootsie? What do you guys think? ;)

I’m with Mike. Although I like the name Bootsie better, if the blog world now knows you as Telly, then stick with it. :)
