Do you know if you are owed money from a bankruptcy?

To help you find out if you are owed money from bankrupt debtors, the Office of the Superintendent of Bankruptcy Canada maintains an Unclaimed Funds Database.

Avoid owning multiple savings bank accounts

A large number of people own savings accounts in several banks. Some are inherited from their previous jobs while some are opened to avoid tax deduction at source on fixed deposits. As the minimum average quarterly balance required to maintain these savings accounts increases in private sector banks, owing multiple savings accounts become a costly affair.

Forgot About An Old Bank Account? Find Your Money!

Have an old bank account that you never actually closed? Or maybe a relative died and you’re unsure if all their accounts were located to be given to those mentioned in their will? Luckily there is a simple way to search for money left in unclaimed bank accounts.

Save Money This Christmas With LED Lights

After thinking about it for the last couple of Christmases, this year we finally spent the money to get outdoor LED lights and an LED pre-lit Christmas tree. While LED lights can cost more upfront than traditional incandescent bulbs, this expense is easily made up for by the cost savings throughout their life.

Today's Quote:

70% of Americans don't have a will. If you have dependents, no matter how little or how much you own, you need a will. If your situation isn't too complicated you can even do your own with software like WillMaker from Nolo Press. Protect your loved ones. Write a will.

Mapping the Markets: A Guide to Stock Market Analysis

January 2, 2011 Stock Markets No Comments

51nh82abDUL. SL160  Mapping the Markets: A Guide to Stock Market Analysis

Product Description
The global financial markets turn over billions of dollars daily. An array of different instruments is available to trade in these markets, ranging from simple stocks and shares to exotic creatures such as butterfly spreads. Participation at any level involves taking a view as to which way the market in question will move. There are essentially only two methods for analysing the future direction of the markets in equities, currencies, interest rates or commodities: one involves fundamental analysis, the other technical analysis. The two camps of investment analysts are separated by a wide gulf of distrust and suspicion. This book seeks to bridge the gap between the two disciplines and show how you can benefit from both, highlighting:

•  The tools you can use for mapping the markets—to understand what causes shifts in the trend and underlying forces that affect the economy and therefore the financial markets
• The long-term cyclical drivers—how economic change is triggered by technological change, and the technological changes that will drive the markets in the future
• Downward phases of the cycle—and the factors that cause them
• The markets and sectors that will prosper in the future.

As the world of investment gets ever more complicated and faster, Mapping the Markets will provide an invaluable route to improving your chances of investment success and avoiding investment distress, whether you are a long-term investor or a short-term trader.
