I'm a huge fan of the Globe and Mail. I read it every day, and the finance section is usually full of good stuff including my boy Rob Carrick who has become a sort of Canadian guru in own right. We have even been featured in the online version of the publication on several occasions, so it is with extremely light feet that I tread on this topic of criticising one of their columns.

There is this cool thing that happens when you ignore all the stock picking stuff that people talk about, stop paying attention to the "experts" on TV and simply invest your money in a dispassionate and consistent manner. The aforementioned "cool thing" is that you end up with a lot more money.

how we can be so arrogant as to think that we stand a good chance of beating the market over an extended time frame. "The market" is the average rise and/or fall of the market you are trading within and there is a reason why it is the numerical average!

I still can't get over why people put so much stock in gold when the stock market hits a recession or when international markets in general hit turbulence. It makes little sense to me that this is what people do in order to feel more secure.

Most personal finance-types out there have a real vendetta against those people that carry balances on their credit cards. They preach fire and brimstone to anyone that pays "low" credit card interest rates of 9-12% a month, and true eternal torment for those souls who get hit with the classic 19.99% rates. Not me, I love these people. THANK YOU

I think there are definitely aspects of boxing you can broadly apply to personal finance. Plus, every "tough guy" out there thinks they can fight, and every guy at the water cooler who has read the business section thinks he's Warren Buffett - so they both have stupid male egos in common as well.

I believe I finally have something that might stir some thought one way or another - The Smith Manoeuvre. A couple of weeks ago I did a post about using leverage to invest in equities. As I predicted, a large number of readers (including many authors of financial blogs) were uneasy about my use of house-backed leverage to say the least. With all these details they will now really have ammunition to fire away with!
