A quick guide to how income distributions on ETFs and mutual funds work Apr 12th
Q. I’m wondering if the reinvested income in mutual funds and ETFs paid only to existing investors who hold the units at the time of the distribution. If I sold my holding just before the distribution, am I out of luck? Or would the income still accrue to me, since I held the shares when that inco.... More »

Dow at 20,000: What took you so long?
– moneysense.ca
Milestones are always big events and often a good time for reflection. The Dow Jones hitting 20,000 is just such a milestone and certainly worthy of attention.
Considering it would take a portfolio growing at an annual rate of 8% about 9 years to double in size that’s not half bad. That is until you consider how long it took to double in the past. Indeed, as you can see from the chart below it took significantly longer to for the Dow to double to 10,000 than it has historically. More than 40% longer.
The chart below looks at the time it took for the index to double, but it excludes periods where the index may have slipped back below one of the milestone values like 2,500, 5,000 or 10,000. In some cases it could take years before the index permanently stays above a milestone figure.
That was certainly the case after the Dow soared above 10,000 in the late 1990s. After the tech crash the blue-chip index would make several runs at topping the 10,000 point mark before slipping again…

Cost-benefit analysis alone shouldn’t guide Olympic bid decision

As an economist, perhaps I should find it satisfying that every public-policy decision we make demands an economic justification. What’s the cost-benefit analysis of the project? What’s the return on investment of building a new tunnel or library? …
Liberals see artificial intelligence as a path to reverse stalled growth
– canadianbusiness.com
OTTAWA _ They see it as a way of saying “Hasta la vista, baby” to years of sluggish economic growth.
The federal Liberals are expected to use the upcoming federal budget to foster the development of cutting-edge artificial intelligence in the hope it will be a springboard to attracting investment and creating a highly-skilled new sector of jobs.
Economic Development Minister Navdeep Bains says fostering AI is one of the pillars of the government’s economic growth strategy.
He and others see an opportunity for Canada to exploit its competitive advantage in a technology that is becoming ubiquitous across all sectors _ from major companies such as Google or Microsoft to the banking and automotive sectors.
The government’s vision of AI-enabled growth is not rooted in the apocalyptic science fiction of Terminator movies where robots destroy humanity (Arnold Schwarzenegger appropriated the Spanish phrase “Hasta la vista, baby” in Terminator 2: Judgement Day before sparking some spectacular explosions)…
