“There are some things people shouldn’t worry about,” he said. “This is one.”
“Berkshire bought $10 billion in U.S. Treasurys last Monday. We bought $10 billion in Treasurys this Monday. And the only question for next Monday is whether we will buy $10 billion in 3-month or 6-month” T-bills, Buffett told CNBC.

- BoC expected to raise rates again this week, vying to quash inflation fasterwww.ctvnews.ca BoC expected to raise rates again this week, vying to quash inflation faster
The Bank of Canada is expected to raise interest rates again this week as forecasters say the economy has not softened enough for the central bank to back off.
Deloitte's chief economist, Dawn Desjardins, said there have been some recent signs that the economy is taking a turn, with the latest job report for June showing the unemployment rate rising and wage growth slowing.
But the overall picture suggests inflation is still sticky, wage growth is high and the economy continues to churn, she said.

From the intricate rules and eligibility criteria to contributions, deductions, and even tax efficiencies, they leave no stone unturned.
They also discuss what happens if you don't buy a home, qualifying withdrawals, and the transfer of funds. Moreover, they provide a comprehensive comparison between FHSA and Home Buyers Plan, as well as insights on how it stacks up against TFSA, RRSP, and RESP.
I highly recommend giving it a listen!

All six of Canada’s main commercial lenders now expect the Bank of Canada to raise interest rates next week after the country’s labor market tripled expectations in June.
The country added 60,000 jobs, driven by gains in full-time work, while the unemployment rate rose to 5.4 per cent, the highest since February 2022, Statistics Canada reported Friday in Ottawa. The figures beat expectations for a gain of 20,000 positions, but missed the forecast for a jobless rate of 5.2 per cent, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey.
