Weekend Reading – Nov 23, 2007

Written by FrugalTrader on Nov 23, 2007 filed under Interesting Links

Moolonomy has hosted this weeks Carnival of Personal Finance. He put a lot of effort into this carnival as he commented on every article that made the cut. MDJ submitted "How Call Options Work – The Basics".
Preet from WhereDoesAllMyMoneyGo is on a roll with quality content. The article that caught my eye this week was "The IPP" article. I had no idea that an individual could setup a defined benefit plan without company backing. It appears that the returns from an IPP surpasses that of an RRSP because of the extra contribution space given to those who qualify.
I've read a lot about QTrade (not to be confused with Questrade) and their award winning customer service. I haven't written about them because I don't personally have any experience with them. Besides, they seem a little expensive with their $19.99 trades. Canadian Capitalist has interviewed a QTrade client about his experiences with the discount brokerage. If you haven't already, you can read my Canadian Discount Brokerage Comparison here.
The Financial Blogger has a creative article "Understanding Credit as a Relationship".

MDJ, thank you for highlighting the carnival. I thoroughly enjoyed your easy explanation of a rather intimidating investing concept.

Hey FT,

Just a reminder that the Canadian Tour of Personal Finance bloggers will be held on Tues Nov 27th.

I changed the date from Sunday as I forgot that many people will be watching the Grey Cup.

The other Tour participants are listed here:

And as always, don’t forget to promote the tour a little to get your readers excited about it.

Thanks,

Monty Loree
