  1. As we slowly limp back from the precipice of an economic disaster, the Wall Street Journal asked its columnists to write about how the rules of personal finance have changed over the last year. It seems to me that the rules haven’t changed at all — it is just that people forgot to follow them and the crisis simply exposed the perils of straying from the straight and narrow path.
  2. Questrade is trying to be innovative and responsive to the demands of the small investor. Some time back, they addressed a long-time grievance of DIY investors — why should discount brokers collect trailer fees for providing no investment advice whatsoever? Now, the fund industry is starting to fight back: Sprott Funds is blocking trailer fee rebates to Questrade clients.
  3. Globe and Mail reporter Sarah Boesveld is writing a column on sharing financial advice or information with friends and how it can help and harm. She is hoping to interview a few people on this topic. If you are interested, her contact information is available here.
  4. Million Dollar Journey shared six lessons learned from watching Dragon’s Den and Shark Tank. I have an additional one: Kevin O’Leary can often be a total jerk even though his own record as a capitalist is, to put it politely, is less than spotless.
  5. With gold crossing $1,000 (US) per ounce, Money Energy wrote a timely post on the advantages and disadvantages of investing in gold bullion, gold stocks and gold ETFs.
  6. Investors frequently confuse economic growth and stock market returns. Thicken My Wallet wonders why there is disconnect between the stock market and the economy.
  7. Do you have a question about ING Direct that you’d like to get answered? Preet is providing an opportunity to do exactly that in an interview with Peter Aceto, the big cheese at ING Direct. The most popular so far: Is ING planning to introduce a free chequing account?
  8. Michael James looks at coin collecting from an investment perspective and finds that while it provides some returns, it is nothing like conventional asset classes.
  9. Mr. Cheap outlined some beginner investment strategies to consider for various time horizons. Staying on topic, the Globe and Mail’s John Heinzl wrote a column on getting started on a couch potato portfolio.
  10. Gail is tackling the difficult topic of love and money in a series of posts. In the latest instalment, she suggests ways for one spouse to protect herself (or himself) from the money problems of the other half.

While I’m unable to highlight all the articles I run across in the weekly roundup, you can check them out through my twitter feed. Have a great weekend everyone!
