No financial planner? No problem
– moneysense.ca
“I haven’t had a salary increase in a decade!” This is a common refrain middle-aged Canadians beginning to picture their life in retirement. Modest salary increases, often simply a cost-of-living amount, have been consumed by increasing health and pension benefit costs. They wonder if they are financially ready to retire. Even so, many remain resistant to formal financial planning despite the obvious benefits. The reality is that some people will never have a written financial plan. Some will remain uninterested, others do not have asset levels that are attractive to professional financial planners and simple math reveals that there are not enough certified financial planners to provide this service for everyone who is interested in formal planning anyway.

The company’s strategic review, launched in August, resulted in months of frenzied rumours about potential bidders, ranging from co-founders Mike Lazaridis and Doug Fregin to Facebook, and it ultimately turned up no worthwhile offers. Fairfax, led by renowned investor Prem Watsa, also nixed its proposal to take BlackBerry private at $9 per share. Instead, it will lead a $1-billion investment through convertible debentures. Fairfax is kicking in $250 million; the other investors have not been named. Watsa is returning to BlackBerry’s board as lead director, and CEO Thorsten Heins is out. John Chen, former head of enterprise-software and services company Sybase, will serve as interim CEO.
When Fairfax’s initial transaction was announced in September, the company hadn’t yet secured financing…
