Fed up with Pigsback

I received the following in my mailbox today: Dear canadiandollars, We want to remind you of some changes that have taken place this week. Our 'Quiz Quest' promotion, where members could win daily or weekly PiggyPoints in our different Zones has now come to an end. The quizzes that are affected by this change are the Shop & Earn Quiz, Sports Quiz, Travel Quiz, Movie Quiz and the Quirky Quiz. Now that 'Quiz Quest' is over, we will no longer be awarding everyone PiggyPoints for getting the right answer. But don't worry; the quizzes aren't going away completely. You can still answer the quiz questions and be entered into a weekly draw to win 1,000 PiggyPoints for each quiz. This change was meant to take place as of Monday, January 28th, but due to a small problem with the website, you may have noticed over the weekend that you didn't get your PiggyPoints when you were supposed to. Please note that we will be crediting all members who completed quizzes over...

2019 is officially in the books

With 2019 in the books returning an astounding 28.9% for the S&P 500 and the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX Composite index up 19%, there was a lot to cheer about for investors in North America. This was a remarkable year considering a lot of the doom and gloom that fell on markets in Q4 of 2018.

I hope a lot of you readers were invested as it was a year to make a lot of easy money. Unless of course, you had invested in cannabis-related stocks. All this said, a correction could happen.  We never know when it could happen but for those with a long-term investment horizon should not be fearful of a recession or pull-back in stocks.  Take only the risk you can afford to take and stay the course. For something a bit on th...

Does everyone need a Garmin?

-

GPS units used to be the territory of the rich and famous. Only available in the upper luxurious cars. A privilege for the few. This has changed very recently with the dramatic drop in prices for GPS units. The price for these portable units have been falling steadily. This past boxing day, there were some that were available in the 150-200 range. Open up a few flyers and you'll see that this isn't just a boxing day one day deal. These are slowing becoming regular every day prices. For the first time in a long time, GPS units are now affordable by ordinary everyday people. So what does this mean for Garmin (GRMN), a company that is arguably at the forefront of hardware innovation when it comes to this field? With more mainstream adoption of GPS units, does Garmin really have more room to go higher? How would a recession impact things? Surely if people become dependent on the GPS, it'll become one of those things that they can't live without like the Internet o...
