i own shares in bce-t which controls bell mobility and the globe and mail. so is it stupid that my cell phone provider is telus and i have a toronto star suscription? i think bce is excellent company which pays me nice dividends, but its kind of self defeating that i am supporting bce's competitors.

another thing about financial planning - a lot of people have free random investment advice - economics students, relatives, colleagues, hot dog vendors, etc. these people often like to think of themselves as sophisticated or wise. why is it that none of these people are rich - or at least financially better off than average. at one time my family drove a nicer car (mini van) than our financial planner.
