Is it you or your partner that makes the big financial investments/choosing financial instrument(s) to make hopefully good? (stocks, mutual funds, etc.) I manage what I earn ...and some money I put into kitty on expenses with partner. I rarely do it, but just bought a stock. Am just crossing my fingers. And it ticks me off royally that I had not purchased this particular stock 5 months ago!!.it is from a company that is heavily involved in the industry sector where I work now. I should know better than procrastinate too long. Admittedly when I buy stock, I'm a nationalist: I will tend to lay my bets first on a home-grown company...based in Canada with overseas operations for expansion.

You're pretty good to do your research yonuh. I do make a point of searching/giving priority to Canadian companies for investment purposes. There's no point for me to rant about foreign corporate ownership/penetration, if I don't also support economically, growing/viable Canadian companies. After all, we are next door to a powerful economic/trading partner, the U.S.
The type of industries I have invested are: entertainment (yes, there is a Canadian firm that produces shows for export/worldwide syndication and distributes films for worldwide distribution); construction (heavy machinery), transportation (manufacture of trains, subway systems, aircraft), windmills/windpower (was inspired after I saw windmill farms in prairie provinces), aerospace. All of these firms have international operations, but head offices in Canada.
My partner has his own separate portfolio. We do discuss in general what each of us have found unsuccessful/successful.
