Here are my posts for the past two weeks:
How Much Diversification Do You Need?
Should You Take a Variable Rate Mortgage?
Here are some short takes and some weekend reading:
Tom Bradley at Steadyhand explains how the wealth management industry encourages investors to follow cyclical shifts even though such behaviour harms returns.
Boomer and Echo guarantee that the stock market will crash but aren’t saying when.
My Own Advisor updates us on his progress toward financial goals. The one thing not clear to me is that I thought he filled his TFSA from older savings, which may be a good idea if you haven’t got new savings, but doesn’t represent much progress.

Thanks for the mention,
