I finally got hold of my copy of the May 2006 edition of MoneySense magazine and quickly turned to Page 68 to find the following comments (Thanks Frugal Focus for the heads up!) about this blog:
CANADIAN CAPITALIST (www.canadiancapitalist.com, free): Written by an anonymous electrical engineer in Ottawa, this blog covers the author’s adventures in investing, saving and debt management. Why does he write it? Because he lost a lot of money when the tech bubble crashed and he’s resolved never to fall for Bay Street’s baloney. WHY WE LIKE IT: This smackdown of financial-industry hype will be applauded by anyone who’s trying to build wealth while rising kids and paying off a house.
As you can imagine, I am quite thrilled and honoured by the mention. Thanks MoneySense!

Congrats.
Out of curiosity, did it drive much traffic to the blog?

Thanks everyone for your kind words.

I guess this means you have “arrived”.
Congratulations!

That was how I learned of you and bookmarked your site.

I’m the same as Terry - I only took a peek at your site today after reading the blurb in MoneySense. I am a mechanical engineer in Toronto who lost a lot of money in the past and so chose to learn to invest on my own!
