Does Ontario really need five Pension Plans?

You know them by their handles: HOOPP, OMERS, OPB, OP Trust, and Teachers. These five defined benefit pension plans make up the bulk of the pension assets for public sector workers in Ontario. Which means that the Ontario taxpayer is on the hook for each when the markets fail to produce sufficient capital growth and income to meet the contractually promised benefits. With $338 billion of collective investment assets at the start of the 2011 fiscal year, there is a lot a taxpayer risk when the market wanes.

Each of the five plans has its own unique qualities and history. HOOPP is known to be a plan filled with younger workers in the medical field, while the Teachers is a more mature vehicle of teachers who often live to 90 or 100 years of age or more. If you live in London, Ontario and work for the public sector on the Provinical side, these are the five entities that the government set-up years ago to serve your needs.

Mobius: ‘Next financial crisis is imminent’

Mark Mobius doesn’t have a reason to exaggerate when it comes to money. He’s the man behind a $50 billion operation and has been involved in economics for nearly half a century. That’s all the more reason, actually, that you should listen to him.

According to Mobius, things are going to get a lot worse before they get better. Speaking to Forbes this week, Mobius, chief of the emerging markets department at Templeton Asset Management, said that “there is definitely going to be another financial crisis around the corner.”

The reason? “We haven’t solved any of the things that caused the previous crisis.”

Mobius says that unregulated derivatives growing exponentially are going to bankrupt the globe. It’s what caused the last major recession, and with $600 trillion in derivatives around now without anyone really overseeing them, Mobius says that a crisis is imminent.

Chase Freedom Rewards Cards: Freedom $200 Cash Back Vs. Freedom $100

It has gotten difficult to watch TV and not see a Chase Freedom rewards card commercial. The recent marketing onslaught, which shows consumers opting for the largest cash back credit card getting pummeled by quarters, is a not so subtle attack on Discover. Nevertheless, it does highlight the key differences between the Chase Freedom card and competing cash back cards that advertise, but fail to deliver in the cash back rewards arena.

The Chase Freedom card’s cash back rewards program is among the best available and Chase backs this up by offering applicants massive sign up bonuses. At present, the Chase Freedom $200 promo is the largest, but there is also a Freedom card with a $100 bonus as well as a third version with a $50 bonus. While the promotional bonuses attached to these offers vary, the underlying Freedom rewards program is the same. Car

Food Manufacturers To Blame For Childhood Obesity

You might be asking why is a weight-loss article on an ecomomic blog?  I’ll tell you why.  Because the food source is causing people to be horrible fat and sick.  You know what?  It’s very expensive to the economy too.  Consider how much of our GDP is spent on these medical problems and how much money the food industry makes.  It’s the pink elephant in the room.  Give this article a quick read and you’ll see what I mean:

Everyone wants to get involved in the war on childhood obesity in the U.S., from Congress to British chef Jamie Oliver, but who will ultimately have the most impact to effect long term nutritious change?

It is a fact that U.S. children are obese. Potato chips and French fries make up 50% of all vegetables that children aged 17 and under consume here. The Government is alarmed by the idea of a whole generation that is obese with prospects of a shorter life span than their parents. Diabetes is ju
