  1. It won’t come as any surprise but in a recent paper, Fama and French find that it is hard to distinguish skill from luck among winning mutual fund managers. The paper referred to in the post (available here) is on my reading list.
  2. In a recent column in MoneySense magazine, Dan Bortolotti provides a roadmap for picking the right ETFs from the thousands available for a couch potato portfolio.
  3. Preet and the Financial Blogger are giving away an iPod Touch. You can throw your hat in the ring by visiting Where Does All My Money Go? and The Financial Blogger.
  4. A number of Canadians are probably still holding some Nortel stock in their portfolios. Million Dollar Journey wrote a post on how to claim capital loss on a delisted stock.
  5. Four Pillars explains why he gave up on the leveraged investing strategy. His reasons pretty much sums up why I’m almost fully indexed now.
  6. Michael James points out that the impact of MERs is understated if you simply deduct the MER from gross returns. Chalk up one more advantage for low-fee investment products.
  7. Landlords might be interested in Blessed by the Potato’s tips for landing that tenant.
  8. Financial Highway explained how to start an investment club.
  9. Canadian Financial DIY highlights a Bank of Canada paper that shows that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) overstates actual cost-of-living increase by as much as 0.6%.
  10. Gail has some tips for not becoming house rich and cash poor.

I’m unable to highlight all the articles worth checking out in my weekly round up but you can check them out through my Twitter feed. Have a great weekend everyone!
