If a person's main concern right now is preserving their capital and they have money that they want to invest, but they are scared of the stock market, which is potentially valid -- although Stephen Harper said there's good buying opportunities, which he may be right -- Canada Savings Bonds will offer that safety. "Daily interest is earned on the e-savings products while the bonds -- though cashable at any time -- only earn interest monthly," he says. "And you can also withdraw some of your money, but leave the rest in the account." "It's hard to call a 1.85 per cent or even 2.5 per cent a high rate of return," [Kevin Shaw] says, "but at least they are positive rates of return."

The question highlights a prevalent lack of understanding about a key reality of public debt: i.e. virtually every dollar of financial shortfall by governments must be borrowed from someone else.

Here in Canada, sovereign debt securities include Canada Savings Bonds. It's no coincidence that those bucolic TV ads advocating their purchase have become more frequent. Our country's recession-battered tax revenue on the one hand and massive stimulus spending on the other is rapidly driving up our national debt, after years of paying it down. Private sector recovery will be long and difficult, but the overall direction will be up. On the other hand, financia...

I don't think one should pay too much attention to the market's short-term gyrations," says [Henry Hudek], also a chartered financial analyst. "Investors should really be paying attention to what the companies being traded on the market are really worth. "The way financial statements are presented isn't always that clear," [Jeffery Lusher] says. "It's really helpful to understand the sector that the company is operating in, because sometimes a lot of debt in a company relative to other companies in its sector is actually quite normal." Invest early: Professor of finance [Robert Ironside] says he tells most of his students, who are between ages 20 and 30, to have most -- if not all -- of their investments in the equities. "When you're young, you shouldn't care about (market crashes)," ...

A systematic seasonal pattern in asset returns is evident in data from as long ago as 1694 (Bouman & Jacobsen, 2002), and seasonality has been observed in many asset markets.2 While this seasonality often cannot be attributed to a specific factor, explanations that have been suggested for seasonal movements in returns include tax-loss selling at the end of the tax year, seasonal risk variation, and the timing of summer vacations. Seasonally in government bond returns has been examined less intensively than seasonality in equity and corporate bond returns, and the evidence on the seasonality of government bond returns is mixed. For example, no significant evidence of seasonality is found for US Treasury bond yields in the studies of Chang and Pinegar (1986), Lavin (2000), Schneeweis ...
