Yes for me TGIF for the first time in a while (no not, “Toes Go In First” (although I do have that monogrammed on all my socks)). It’s exciting fun and worrying all at once to be back on the job, so we shall see what this new endeavour leads to.
Thanks to all the positive comments I have received this week, but remember there are lots of other folks looking around, so help them out if you can too.
My Random Views on Things
- Random Thoughts: Back to Work Edition and it was good to be back.
- For July 2009 Unemployment Rate Hovers better than going up.
- Should I Drive or use Mass Transit? Do I do what I should?
- CPP is OK (for now) but will it be safe in the future?
These Guys Is Financial
Another interesting TGIF acronym for the financial articles this week:
- Canadian Financial DIY has a bone to pick with the Bank of Canada in his post Inflation, Alcohol and the Bank of Canada a Bad Mix?
- Michael James sees some Cracks in the Pension Silver Lining, and it worries me to no end.
- Preet at WhereDoesAllMyMoneyGo wrote about the US Debt Clock and how the real one ran out of digits… yikes!
- Larry MacDonald wonders about the Future of Television, given his kids don’t seem very interested in it. Broadcast television model is broken, on demand is the only option left, but how do you make money doing that?
Have a great weekend all, I will be recovering from a long first week (after a year any first week was going to be LONG) 🙂
Thanks for the link. I hope TV isn’t doomed…
Don’t forget to blame the Frank Dunn gang. If Nortel hadn’t been distracted with accounting difficulties… who knows? Maybe the ship could have been righted in time.
Thanks for the mention!
Thanks for the mention. When it comes to Nortel’s demise, maybe Mike Z. could have done a better job, but I put the bulk of the blame on Roth and his team.
