I like your believability, range of articles, periodic roundups of other blogs (you were my main source of traffic for months), your links to other blogs on your main page, and the quality of comments from your readers.

I no longer read every post or visit every day, I like knowing there’s content for future reference.

My pet peeve with personal finance bloggers is their insistence on anonymity. I’ve seen reasons and find they’re generally weak. Maybe this is Canadian modesty? If you’re “officially” public, why not personalize your site with your name and photo?

You have a knack for picking great topics. You’ve also created a community. Thanks.

I liked your previous articles on saving money. For example when you compared different cell phone plans and another time when you compared different credit card point plans.

I’d like to see more articles on saving money.

Hi CC,
I really like your blog as it is. I particularly find interesting to have another point of view on personal finance. You have good points and you know how to explain things.

I know that you are not much into leverage, but I would like to know what is your personal strategy to create wealth.

Cheers,
FB.

CC, I rarely comment but follow your blog weekly. I’ve noticed lately that the blog discusses individual stocks more often than in the past which is something that I enjoy. Keep up the good work.

I’d like to see two or three posts a day!

I really like the information you have on ETF’s. I would probably like to see a sample of someone’s sleepy portfolio regarding asset/market mixes. Only think I can think of.

Thanks for all your comments. It’s great getting feedback.

Eric: That’s a great idea. I will make a Sleepy Portfolio page. It will help me too. I keep checking my notebook because I tend to forget the exact allocation percentages.

willfly: I will add an icon.

Philip: Great suggestions. Definitely, the investing category needs to be broken up further.

nobleea: I’ll try to write every day but once in a while, life intervenes

MG, FJ: I’ll make a post about our financial goals and personal portfolios.

I second MG. What are your financial goals? Seeing that’ you’re not anonymous anymore, it might be difficult to answer, but are you almost there?

What’s the future of this blog? What’s your secret of maintaiingn 5 posts per week? Do you ever get fatigued?

Great site but,

What is your direction with your finances and what are your goals?

How is your portfolio diversified?

It is a good blog. The posts are well thought out and topical. The site could use a little sexing up though. I get very disappointed when a blog doesn’t have a new post every weekday, but you seem to be good at that. Personal Finance is such a broad topic. I would say it would be better to focus on a select few topics (for example REITs, Gold and silver microcaps, cost saving tips for urban male workers, mortgages and other loans, etc etc). There are many finance blogs out there and trying to cover all the bases will not make yours stand out.

I also like how other bloggers have their favourite blogs linked on the side bar.
