Hi Norm,
I am new to the blog so bear with me if this has been asked.

Regarding the 2013 All Stars specifically their Share price is as of ocotber 25, 2013. The issue this is available in is Dec./Jan. 2013. Is there a way to find out the All Stars ear;ier than the magazine issue.

Thanks,

This question is for Norm. You indicated in the Top 200 for 2013 the All-Stars returned an average of 13.4%. However this return is for the year prior to the 2013 selection. You also indicate over the last 8 years the average All-Star return is 15.2%. Is this based on the 13.4% return and earlier prior-year returns, or is the 15.2% based on the returns in the following year after you publish the new All-Stars?
Much appreciated.
Derrick Morris

i found this information very informative and easy to understand. your charts and gradings along with your views sound pretty firm and i can say that you have made it quite easy for myself to comprehend even though i will be investing for the first time in this market. keep up the great work.

Agreed – where can I download last years' TOP 200?
I would like to see their performance.

Broker Performance?

Has Moneysense published a report on broker performance? It would be especially interresting to learn how the on-line brokers perform. Easy-to-understand, apply for and maintain accounts, a user-friendly website for information, trades and other requests, and helpful and friendly customer support come to mind as possible measures of customer satsifaction. And, perhaps learning more about how the Facebook issue was handled would be a very good example to gauge specific broker performance.

Here is an idea maybe worth considering: Does Moneysense provide a means for subscribers to suggest studies, articles, reports, etc.?

Excellent exchange.

On a related topic, perhaps I have missed the following, but would it be possible to publish a year-over-year comparison of Norm's grading of investements?

For example, as a follow-up to last years' Top 200 Canadian Stocks (Dec/Jan 2012), it would be interesting, in fact helpful, to learn how these stocks performed in 2012 relative to Norm's A-B-C-D grades for the Value Team and Growth Team.
