fixing the moneygardener tech. problems
I've lost 125 subscribers and your old blogspot bookmarks won't work!
I'm not really sure what happened but the old themoneygardener.blogspot address is no longer redirecting to the new themoneygardener.com site. Also as of July 9 or so our feed was not updating regularly.
Please update your bookmarks to the new domain name and re-subscribe to the feed. The feed seems to be updating now. Hopefully this will resolve the problem.
Also bloggers and other linksters.....I would appreciate it if you would update your link to the moneygardener to the new .com address at http://themoneygardener.com.
Thank you for reading the moneygardener.

buying 'made in China', and other links
When you refuse to buy products that are made in China, and instead seek 'Made In Canada' or 'Made In USA' labels are you perpetuating lavish lifestyles of excess.? Frugal Bachelor thinks so.
Thicken My Wallet wrote about 5 questions you need to answer when starting a business
Investing website, The Motley Fool calls SYSCO (SYY), McDonalds (MCD), and Wal-Mart WMT) 3 ridiculously cheap, high quality companies. All 3 generate return on equity above 20% and have solid histories of dividend growth. I recently doubled my SYSCO position.

Well I took some time to blow through my Google Reader again, and this is what I found...

I always like authors that find ways to simplify and get to the heart of a complicated issue. Michael James on Money presents A Thousand Foot View of The Credit Crisis. This is a very interesting post, and really inspires some thinking about the future.

still shovel ready
Well it has been one week and I haven't posted a single thing on the moneygardener. I haven't been on vacation, I've been where I always am, working my 9-5 and tending to my young family. My wife and I are finding ourselves very busy lately as we juggle our full time jobs and daycare commuting. I think I may have a little writer's block. Or maybe I am feeling like a deer in the headlights.
I'm still following business and the stock market daily, as depressing of a practice as that is becoming. I have a feeling that after this credit crisis/bear market is over nothing will phaze me as an investor.
I really can't get over how bad things have become in such a short time. This past week alone jobs are being shed all over the place including in my own backyard at US Steel in Hamilton and Chrysler in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Dividends are being slashed and the S&P 500 continues to slide to new lows day after day. The light at the end of the tunnel has not appeared yet.
I still have some more funds that I would like to throw at the stock market but I want to try to avoid the mistake of becoming insolvent before we really see the toilet flush on this whole thing. The best I can do right now is hunker down and continue to watch things play out. I am looking forward to an upcoming vacation in Las Vegas and still keeping a keen eye financially to the long term. the moneygardener is still 'shovel ready'.

two small victories
the moneygardener, shovel ready.
First Victory
I have lost count of how many times I've tried to move this blog from the blogspot domain to just plain dot com. My fingers are crossed, as now the transition appears to have been a success. I would appreciate it if anyone linked to this blog would change their link to:
http://themoneygardener.com/
The blogspot address seems to be redirecting to the dot com domain fine for now. I also hope my RSS Feed remains in tact for all. If by chance there are any issues with the feed, you can re-subscribe by clicking the feed for posts icon at the top of the right sidebar. I've lost my precious Google page rank of 2/10, as well as any type of search engine recognition in the process. Oh, well I'm sure I'll build it back in spades.
Second Victory 500
the moneygardener has reached an important milestone. For months I've been looking forward to the day when the number of fine people subscribed to this blog reaches 500. Well the day is finally here, hooray! That's one person for every dollar that I had invested back in 2003, when I began my journey to financial freedom!

happy holidays!..and wine too..
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of my readers for their tremendous support in 2008, and to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I really hope everyone takes the time to enjoy the holidays with family. the moneygardener will trudge into 2009 with good riddance regards to 2008.
And what better way to enjoy the holidays and forget about your paper losses in the stock market, than with some Australian Red Wines.
Here are some of my favourite Aussie brands under $20 and the pertinent details:
And what better way to enjoy the holidays and forget about your paper losses in the stock market, than with some Australian Red Wines.
Here are some of my favourite Aussie brands under $20 and the pertinent details:
Lindemans - Always reliable for a good bottle of red. Their blends are quite good and their Shiraz is nice as well. The inexpensive companion who never takes a write-down.
JJ. McWilliams - Got introduced to this brand through a bottle of their Cab/Merlot blend. Very fruity, drinkable wine.
WolfBlass - Their Yellow Label Cab. Sauvignon is probably my favourite wine under $20. Anything else they produce always goes down nice with Christmas Dinner. Good celebration wine.
Yellow Tail - I often refer to this as the Coca Cola of wine. Their reds never disappoint but I prefer their Shiraz and Merlot to their Cab. Sauv.
Hardy's - Another reliable and very affordable brand. Stamp Series; Start your Australian Red journey here. The money you save can go into dividend paying stocks.
Black Opal - I'm new to this brand but I've decided that it is worth some further investigation after I tried their Cab./Merlot blend.
Honourable mentions to LongFlat and Jacob's Creek.
The Aussies sure know how to make wine. Any further suggestions?

technical difficulties resolved
My apologies if you have experienced further technical difficulties with the moneygardener.
The blogspot address has now been restored and everything should be back to normal. I attempted to switch to a dot com domain when it appeared that Google had the issue resolved but they failed to redirect blogspot links. Due to this I have decided to revert back to blogspot until Google resolves the problem. Once, again I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and I thank you for your support of the moneygardener.

must-read blog posts
Here are three posts that I really enjoyed over the past little while from three must-read blogs:
Why Don't We Buy Stocks When They're On Sale, by Dividend Money. This is not the first time the U.S. has looked like a very bleak place to be invested in the stock market.
Lotteries Millionaires, and a Sense of Scale About Money, by Michael James on Money. Whenever you are struck by a large sum of money, think about it in daily increments. Whether it is winning the lottery, being paid in dividends, or buying a ball glove for your son, you'll see it differently.
In Leveraged Investing & Prime Interest Rates, Million Dollar Journey provides an interesting chart on the Dividend Yield Required to Break Even with Leveraged Dividend Investing. I would add that this chart indicates the yield required on purchase to break even on returns from dividends alone given no dividend cuts, and a steady or dropping prime rate.

there's a hole where my kraft dinner used to be
Sometimes I come across something so funny, that I must share it. This insightful consumer commentary post really had me laughing out loud. Please enjoy the post below from the wordsmith, Potato @ Blessed By The Potato ....MG
There’s a hole in my cupboard between the Penne and the Zoodles, the demarcation between boxed and canned food where my Kraft Dinner used to be. It’s empty right now. That used to be a dire sign of a Kraft Dinner shortage, and somewhere in my house a klaxon and flashing orange light would go off signalling me to run off to the 24-hour grocery store to get more post haste.
Now, however, that hole will stay there, a sad gap toothed reminder that somehow they broke Kraft Dinner. I first noticed a few months ago, in the last box I had right before they changed to the new box artwork. The cheese was not right, and not in the way that it’s usually not right. It had a strange chemical taste to it… which is difficult to describe considering it was fake cheese and food colouring to begin with. Something has definitely changed though: the cheese is runnier and just not as tasty, and I haven’t been able to find anything I’ve been doing to cause that. So it’s their fault, whether it was a cost cutting measure in the face of rampant food price inflation, a change in suppliers, or just a damned mistake, it matters little now. Kraft Dinner is broken, and there is none in my cupboard.
For a while, at least, I will keep the hole there, an empty space preserved in memory of my most popular hot lunch. While I mourn. As time passes perhaps that spot will be filled by PC macaroni and white cheddar sauce, or maybe the general pasta supplies will spill over and fill it up. Perhaps I will try again in a few months, once the memory of what real Kraft Dinner tastes like fades (if such a thing is ever possible); perhaps I will grow to miss it so much that I buy a box just for show. Perhaps the Fast ‘n Fancy rice dishes can return to the bottom shelf from their exile above, reuniting with the other starchy foods in the midst of this tragedy. For now though, there’s a hole in my cupboard where my Kraft Dinner used to be.
And there’s a hole in my heart where my Kraft Dinner used to live :(
