How can our site help you? |

.jpg) As strange as it may seem, there are few independent free Canadian sites on this subject, and most are either theoretical or commercial seeking to sell you a product or service. Our site wants to be your first stop for both theoretical and practical information:
- Why a theoretical aspect? We will give you numerous information sources (books, articles, studies, and other websites) because if an investor is not convinced of the merits of his approach to investing, he is likely, before the blizzard of publicity by sellers of financial products and services or in those moments of inevitable turbulents in the financial markets, to return to his old habits.
- Our site is interactive, inviting participation and comments (comments are sought by the symbol comments, contact us, etc.) of readers. It will always be “under construction”, since it will be adjusted to reflect those comments, developments in the markets, or correcting errors which will inevitably occur here and there in the site built with limited means and dependent upon your support (financial or otherwise) to maintain and improve.
- And the practical aspect? Our site explains how to trade by an intermediary or directly with issuers, what is the realistic return that one may expect on a portfolio and how does one measure it, what are the basic notions of a balanced and diversified portfolio, how does one manage his investment expenses, including taxation of investment income, how does one get maximum profit out of an
 RRSP and the different types of products (equity, debt, funds), with their advantages and disadvantages.
- Our site will help you to review your old ways of managing your investments, will explain in detail the advantages of exchange traded funds (ETFs) to invest in equity, as well as the advantages of individual selection of debt instruments – which is in fact the reverse of the practice of many investors who find “too complicated” the purpose of individual debt securities other than certificates of deposit.

Stock picking is less popular when the public disclosure information environment is good, because stock pickers can only make money when they have better information than everyone else, and stock pickers will not have better information than everyone else when public information disclosure is good.
