Corporate bonds and ?lobster pots?
The best investment letter I have come across in a long time (Troy Asset Management) open the August 2014 newsletter.

Tempted to try market timing?
Even though the idea of timing the market is tempting, it is not advisable. A recent informal study by money manager, Tobias Carlisle, shows that any attempt for you to try is just a waste of time. (The Globe and Mail)
