1. Today’s Financial Post features a column on Coattail Investing, which is mimicking the moves of investing greats. An example would be Warren Buffett’s recent buy of Anheuser-Busch. Like most investing fads, this approach is fraught with risks. Something suitable for Mr. Buffet may not be suitable for me.

  2. Fortune magazine asks if America can Compete? and offers prescriptions. With minor changes, they might just as easily be talking about Canada. With weak productivity growth and a recent strong dollar, Canada does face challenges in improving our prosperity.

  3. Political Calculations hosted the latest Carnival of the Capitalists. I contributed the post on Privatizing the LCBO.

  4. The Carnival of Personal Finance can be found on Free Money Finance, featuring a lot of interesting posts. I contributed an earlier post on how mutual fund investors chase performance.
