This site in the news

Since I created this site in 2005, it has grown steadily in popularity. So, I thought I would create a post listing the locations where this blog has been mentioned in the news.

It was a great day when I got my first notice in Canadian MoneySaver magazine from Robert Gibb. I was then mentioned in Derek Foster's second book entitled The Lazy Investor: Start with $50...and no Investment Knowledge that was published in 2007. From there, my blog has been referenced in newspaper articles and magazines. You can find many listed below.

Happing DRIPping,
