Since you were struggling for a post topic today, how this idea for a future day. What are the differences between a self-directed RSP and the non-self directed type. I know about the increased flexibility in investment choices but what about the taxation differences. Are there any? Have any advice to those wanting to open a self-directed account and transfer there RSP assets into it?

Thanks for the good blog,
Steve.

DWC: Good point. Actually, as soon as anyone mentions options, I simply tune out. And, the Portfolio Matters archives is pretty close to a 100% options-free zone.

Richard Croft is a very knowledgeable investor, but as soon as he strays from his passive index (FPX) roots and heads to the tactical whatever & options plays, run for the hills. Hopefully that way he won’t lose you as much money as he lost me while lining his pockets in the process. But if you’re reading this site, you already know that.

I was introduced to Jason via his commentaries on the new edition of “The Intelligent Investor” and he strikes me as a very bright guy, I’d happily read anything he writes…

Jason Zweig is also the person who annotated the revised edition of The Intelligent Investor – written by Benjamin Graham (who was Warren Buffett’s main mentor!)
