To finance their expansion plans, young Canadian companies issue Canadian penny stocks. Canadian penny stocks are shares priced under $5. Canada’s abundance in natural resources means there are many companies involved in energy and mining. Canada is also known for being home to many world class technology companies thanks to the universities turning out high quality educated work force.

Good Canadian penny stocks are based on companies with excellent business fundamentals. These are corporations that have a good executive team, operational excellence, high sales growth and healthy profits. Another sign of a promising Canadian penny stock is if their financial reporting is up to date.

For many young couples, saving and investing are two things that are often relegated to a later date.

The excuses vary; "There are so many things that we need to buy right now", "We are both earning very little" or "We will start saving and investing when we grow older." But these excuses fly in the face of financial logic. You should start saving and investing the moment you get your first paycheck. You don’t need to start with huge amounts of money.

Since people earn different amounts, let us work with percentages. You can decide to be saving 10 per cent, invest another 10 per cent and use 40 per cent for rent, shopping, fare or fuel. You will still be left with an impressive 40 per cent. Remember, my assumption here is that both husband and wife are working.

SAVING DISCIPLINE

Several options exist for saving and investing. Apart from the ordinary savings account, you can open a fixed deposit account. If you discipline yourself to be putting money into this account every month, you will be surprised at how fast it grows.
