Canadian Capitalist

1. A TD Bank report finds that except for Vancouver and Victoria, there is very little evidence of a housing bubble in Canada.
2. There is another glowing mention of Pat McKeough’s Successful Investing newsletter in a MarketWatch.com article. Mr. McKeough was a previous editor of The Investment Reporter, ranked one of the top newsletters, according to the Hulbert Financial Digest. Both newsletters are subscribed by most public libraries and are worth checking out.
3. The Financial Post compared the yields in the Canadian energy sector with its global peers and found the Canadian yields stingy. However, note that the most efficient use of capital is reinvesting profits in the business (Dividends and buy-backs come second and M&A a distant third). Canadian energy companies have plenty of opportunities, especially in oil sands.
4. Most of the furniture in our home is from Ikea. We should have waited a bit before buying because Ikea is cutting prices on more than 500 best-selling items by an average of 17%.
