    Did you know about trans fats?

    I just recently learned about trans fats or other wise known as hydrogenated (or partially) oils. This means exactly what you would imagine. They bubble through the oil the gas hydrogen. Apparently this increases the shelf life of food products. And believe me, it is found in almost all the...

    Gold & Silver

    I think a basket of these will beat the pants off the PAAS and SILs: http://cbs.marketwatch.com/tools/quotes/basic.asp?symb=silver&siteid=mktw&test=1&view=basic&x=9&y=15 There are also quite a few in Canada: ASM, BGS, ECU, EPZ, FSR, HDA, LSM, MAG and MCA (all Cdn symbols go to www.tse.com)

    Gold & Silver

    Vishnu, I agree with your general thesis, but why play it with those large (rel) companies? Aren't there a few small/micro cap silver stocks around that would be better alternatives? As you've seen with the gold stocks, while the large caps have gone up 90-150% the small/micro caps have...

    The Dow since 1915

    Here is a detailed graph of the Dow of then and now side by side: But I remember that the author of the above mentioned that he had to do something to the data to get them to align properly (timewise). I don't remember exactly what but it was basically to take out a distortion of some...

    Strange email from IB

    ok maybe its time to let this thread die as it seems others also got it as well. All I was trying to accomplish was to see if this was a one time fluke involving my account (in which case I would have been alarmed) or a system wide error. As it seems it was the latter, I think we should just let...

    Paul O'Neill Rips Bush . . .

    The most interesting parts of the new book are where he cites documents showing that Iraq's invasion was planned well before 9/11. That, is far more damning because everyone already knows that Shrub is an idiot. http://www.drudgereport.com/flash9.htm

    Rumsfeld in a TV report said that the Moon landing was a film ordered by Nixon !

    harry, everyone, calm down! If you will give me one moment of your time I will explain this whole thing. What harry was watching is a program about the moon missions of NASA and it is a documentary that was made to show how easily it is for us (viewer) to be manipulated by some careful...

    Good Canadian broker??

    You are comparing apples and oranges. Questrade has ECN fees, exchange fees as well as 'platform' fees which IB does not. Also TDW (Cdn) has per share fees on top of their 'flat fee' of $29
