• I am a subscriber of several years' standing, and want to thank you for producing an excellent magazine. Together with your contributors, you have helped me more than anything else I can think of, to take charge of our family savings.

• Congratulations Dale & Betty (on your 30th year of publishing). Canadian MoneySaver is the best independent financial adviser on the market. The articles are great and it is getting better and better, what else can I say except that you have educated us and enriched us greatly.

• 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).

• 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.

• 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!

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• ...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.

• MoneySaver has given me more valuable information than all the previous subscriptions over a lifetime that have cost me thousands of dollars.

• I really appreciate the fact that someone else does all the digging and research. You've got the breakdown, positives and negatives, that I need to know.

• 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.

  Gary Ryan Toronto, ON
  
  

• 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
  
  

• ...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.

• We receive favourable comments about the content of MoneySaver on a continual basis from both clients and staff of Royal Bank Financial Group. Articles are informative, interesting and concise.

Also, by meeting the writers at seminars, we have established very satisfactory relationships regarding portfolio management. Canadian MoneySaver is the most useful of our various financial publications.
