"We certainly enjoy reading Canadian MoneySaver. On several
occasions I have e-mailed some of your writers and have really been
impressed with their prompt and informative replies." - Dave & Mary
Boher, e-mail
"I enjoy and value your magazine. I always get the feeling that
thought and effort are expanded to give subscribers a product that will
give them useful information. I also appreciate greatly that as a
subscriber I can get in touch with your experts and get personalized
information. In short, great value, the feeling that you care about
providing a needed and valuable service (besides being a business
entity)." - D.E., e-mail
"I am writing to thank you for MoneySaver, its integrity
and the variety of its articles. Since I began the long journey to learn
about money and the market, investing and myself, I have used
MoneySaver to keep me aware of my changing needs and the changes in
investing opportunities. At age 79 it has been quite a journey." - J.
Macaulay, G.T.A.
Buying a Car - We found Dealfinder in MoneySaver and phoned Bob Prest. He looked for a new
Dodge diesel for us. We saved $5,300.
He was very easy to talk to and very precise. We are very happy with this
service.
P.S. - Bob has a very good sense of humour. J.T., Qualicum Beach, BC
"I wanted to send along a note to let you know that my husband and I
have had a chance to meet with one of your regular contributors, Brenda
MacDonald in Nanaimo. We had a most informative session with her and would
highly recommend her to anyone (which we already have!) Having such
helpful contributors as part of MoneySaver is one of the reasons we
continue to subscribe. Keep up the good work!" L. Stewart, Comox, BC

"Thanks so much for a wonderful magazine. It continues to be a
highlight of my month!" Dr David Wright, Barrie, ON
"While I've made money reading the articles in Canadian MoneySaver,
it was the information and the different slants of doing things or
thinking of different things that made the difference.
Making money for me was not the main reason, it was the points of view and
the honesty and integrity of the articles. And now it's a 'hobby' for me,
make enough to pay for one vacation trip a year; keeps my mind
active at 69 and enjoying life. 'Slow and steady' does win the race."
Keith Oilveira, St Catharines, ON
"You have a very good magazine, one of the few that I read
cover-to-cover. Your articles always seem to be in the working man's
(person's) range or else apply quite nicely to the retired sector where I
sit." Eric Stanzeleit, Brandon, MB
"I feel it incumbent on me to let you know that I feel how essential it
is for the spouse of a husband who was a great investor to be aware of the
family investments when illness strikes. My husband suffered a massive
stroke following a four-way bypass and I am now responsible for handling
the finances. I wish to remain fully informed of financial management and
your magazine assists me in this regard." Barbara Carriere, Nanaimo, BC
"I have benefitted from the info in your magazine tremendously...Two
years ago, I took the plunge after relying on a so-called investment
expert for ten years. The funds I chose, with some guidance and basics
from info gleaned from Canadian MoneySaver, have netted me returns
in these two years that the 'expert' never delivered on. In fact, one fund
of $14,000 returned twice the gains as the monies I had given him control
of that were two and a half times larger in amount." Edward, Kennedy,
Harrowsmith, ON
"I will be 69 this summer
and I have read your magazine pretty well from your beginning. Over the years I
have learned a lot. I was able to invest in mutual funds on a large scale,
receiving advice from 2 of your contributors, 1 without fee and one with fee.
Their advice was identical and I prospered from it. I am grateful to you for
your sound advice over the years, I am no longer concentrating just on growth.
We already have a secure future and will enjoy life. So, I will not need to
renew my subscription." Dieter Ropke, Sault Ste. Marie, ON
"I enjoy Canadian MoneySaver—half informative reading, the other
half I have to study, which keeps me returning to reread parts of previous
issues. I am finding that planning and plotting for my grandchildren's
'long term' is quite exhilarating." Gordon Lusty, Oshawa, ON
"For all the help and fascinating reading we have had through the
years, we are deeply grateful. It occurred to me that you could easily
start at the beginning and re-run each edition of Canadian MoneySaver and it would still be
relevant today!" Irene Croot, London, ON
"I recently picked up my first issue of Canadian MoneySaver and
found it to be very informative and unique for two reasons. First, it is
truly an 'independent' look at personal finance. Secondly, it is one of
the only Canadian finance magazines with Canadian content in mind." J.
W., E-mail
"With the lack of advertisements in Canadian MoneySaver, the
reader's focus is on the financial issues being discussed and less
distracted by other information. I have noticed Canadian MoneySaver
tends to provide a more thorough evaluation of financial issues in an
understandable and readable format." B. Ram, Vancouver, BC
"I believe in you and your magazine 100% as you don't appear to have an
axe to grind and recommend when appropriate." C. S., E-mail
"I have been a subscriber for a number of years and I have
faithfully created my own categorized log sheet of each Canadian
MoneySaver article. In the beginning I really only understood
the basics of 'money'. A lot of the material was over my head, but I
knew that, as I gained more knowledge, I would need to look back for
information. I have often used this method to look up info, since I
keep all my old copies of your publication. I have always found
something useful in each issue of Canadian MoneySaver. This morning
I have moved into the modern world by adding an online subscription
to my print subscription so that I can access past articles with
more ease than even my own filing system offers. For a few dollars
each month, your magazine has saved me thousands of dollars over the
years, by supplying me with knowledge that I would not otherwise
have gained." K. H., Ariss, ON
"...I have benefitted from the information in your magazine. It is
unlike any consumerist publication anywhere, and gives direction to the
high road of financial travel." Edward Kennedy, Harrowsmith, ON
"Receiving my monthly MoneySaver is like having Christmas 11
times a year." Allan DeLuca, Toronto, ON
"If I had to pick one word to describe your magazine it would be
'amazing'. Do they give the Booker prize for financial advice? I wish they
would, you would definitely have my vote." Wayne Paulin,
Kingston, ON
"I read with great interest an issue a few months ago with
commenting about MDC Corp. I follow this stock pick and bought
shares at $2.41. MDC is now trading around $8.50 to $9.00 per share.
I have sold enough to get my original investment back and the rest
is profit. Without MoneySaver I never would have made this
investment. Needless to say I am very pleased." B A Hansen,
Coldstream, BC
"Thanks for sending complementary copies of the MoneySaver for my
Personal Finance students. It always gives me a lot of pride to pass out a top
quality Canadian publication and with no advertisements! Even though I teach
Finance, I require students to do research papers in my courses and one of the
sources to which I always refer them is the MoneySaver." John Churchill,
Associate Professor of Finance, Acadia University Wolfville, Nova Scotia
"On a whim, two years ago, I bought a copy of Canadian MoneySaver at a
local shop. I found the articles so interesting, and was so intrigued by the
fact that there was absolutely no advertising, that I had to have my own
subscription right there-and-then after reading only one issue!
Canadian MoneySaver is an excellent publication with articles being
timely, well-researched and pertinent. I can't single out one topic over
another because they're all of interest, the new information and the old.
Thanks, also, for keeping my name and address in your records only and for not
exchanging/selling them to other businesses. It's nice to know there is one
publication which honours a subscriber's request to stamp-out unsolicited 'junk
mail'." F. Korstrom, Coquitlam, BC
"I've been subscribing for almost two years now. I'm probably ahead by $7000.00
on stocks from reading your newsletter and reading old issues. Your newsletter
has been invaluable to me mostly because I can get information that isn't as
biased towards advertisers. For instance your last issue on RRSPs. You would
never see three articles denouncing their value at the height of the buying
season in Report on Business or the Globe and Mail! G. M.,
Richmond Hill, ON
The most understandable and readable money magazine I have seen." Jim Johnstone,
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
"Of the five financial papers, letters and reports I receive, the Canadian
MoneySaver is by far the best bargain, the easiest to read, and the
most diversified.", D. Nutter, Montreal, Quebec
MoneySaver has given me more valuable information than all the previous
subscriptions over a lifetime that have cost me thousands of dollars."
Arthur
Mones, Whitehorse, YK

research. You've got the breakdown, positives and negatives, that I need to
know." Nettie Cameron, Grand Bay, NB
Gary Ryan (Toronto, ON) comments on a Member Benefit. "I decided to go with Bob
Prest's service. Was I glad that I did. Not only did he get me a great deal ( a
discount of over $2500, about 10% off the car's list price), he saved me a ton
of time negotiating a deal."
"From one small tip in MoneySaver, we now have an extra $1000 a year,
which is fifty times the subscription price!" Patricia Tieleman, Nanaimo, BC
"It is evident from your writings and actions that you are genuine about wishing
to help the individual investor. Your website and creation of the Forum
(Chatline) also continue the tradition." Steven McVeigh, Scarborough, ON
A subscriber, comments on one of MoneySaver's member benefits for
purchasing a new vehicle: "...was able to fill my order and get me $6334 off
the final price as well as the $1500 cash back from the dealer...WOW! The
bend-over-backwards service he provided for me was a return to
customer-oriented strategy seldom experienced these days." Brent Nicholls,
Toronto, ON
"I have been purchasing your magazine for some time now from the bookstores, and
wish to commend you on your excellent publication which I think is the only
Canadian publication which compares to American publications such as
Wall Street
Week and Fortune Magazine." Richard Jakovac, Mississauga, ON
"Enjoy MoneySaver. It is easy to read and understand. It is the best
magazine of its kind for all levels of people starting to take interest in
their own financial affairs. Best of all, it is Canadian and applies to the
Canadian financial markets although, you don't forget about the world markets
and cover them. MoneySaver brings timely information and good ideas to
my home monthly." John Mangone, Saulte Ste Marie, ON
"MoneySaver has helped me more than any other financial advisory
publication because it covers vitally important matters concerning my personal
financial portfolio and related affairs?MoneySaver is just that—it
offers the best possible style and format for a price anyone can afford. I file
and reread your articles regularly. Congratulations for the irreplaceable
service you offer." John Parker, Burnaby, BC

information that it offers." Angelo Vicere, Berkshire Securities, Hamilton, ON

continual basis from both clients and staff of Royal Bank Financial Group.
Articles are informative, interesting and concise. Anyone interested in
furthering their knowledge of personal financial matters should be a regular
reader." Mark Wire, Royal Bank, Winnipeg, MB
