  1. Larry MacDonald of Investment Ideas blog highlights a study, which found that for many model portfolios deferring rebalancing for as long as four years provided the best returns. You can find the original article here.
  2. Canadian Banks & Insurance posted a handy table of the 2006 returns of some of the big names in the financial sector. CIBC had the best annual price gain of 28% and Sun Life Financial the worst at 5.5%. Bank of Montreal (TSX: BMO) currently has the best yield 3.78%, while Manulife Financial has the worst at 2.03%.
  3. Melanie writes on Canadian Mortgage Trends that consumers getting a new mortgage should also pay attention to the “extras” that might save them money rather than just the lowest interest rate.
  4. If one of your New Year resolutions is paying less tax, you may want to check out some of the tax-saving strategies suggested by tax-expert Tim Cestnick in The Globe and Mail.
  5. We hold Home Depot (NYSE: HD) in our portfolio and I cannot say I am a fan of ousted CEO Bob Nardelli who managed to alienate employees, shareholders and Wall Street, but I do hope he wasn’t let go because the stock is languishing. A CEO’s job should be growing sales, growing earnings, earning a decent return on capital and not managing the share price as Contrarian Edge points out in his excellent post.
