I hope you are enjoying and profiting from the stock trading advice in my TSI Network Daily Updates.

Every day, TSI Network attracts a wide variety of Canadian investors. To take the pulse of this unique online community, we publish weekly polls so we can see what the site’s visitors think of current financial issues. The feedback we get from these polls often forms the basis of the stock trading advice we give you in our TSI Network Daily Updates.

We also welcome you to submit your own questions about stock trading advice or any other investment matter, so you can quickly and easily get a feel for where other investors stand on issues that affect you. Just send your suggestions to pat@tsinetwork.ca. If we think they’re suitable for the site, we’ll post them as our “Financial Question of the Week.”

Imagine having me build you a portfolio that’s tailored to your specific investment goals. That's just one of the many ways you benefit when you become a client of our portfolio management services. But the service is not for everyone -- in fact, I limit the number of clients that we accept to ensure we can maintain a high level of service. Right now, there are a limited number of spots available. Click here to learn more about how you can profit from our Successful Investor portfolio management services.

TSI Network’s weekly polls let you instantly see how investors are responding to current financial issues

You’ll find our “Financial Question of the Week” on the right side of the TSI Network homepage. For example, this week’s question is: “The Obama administration’s proposed ‘bailout tax’ on banks: would it be good or bad for the stock market?”

To vote, simply click on your preferred answer and click “submit.” The site will instantly show you up-to-the-minute poll results.

Last week’s question, “Is the Conservative government’s ‘proroguing’ of parliament likely to scare off some foreign investors?,” appears below the current “Financial Question of the Week,” along with the results (60% of TSI Network visitors thought the government’s move was likely to scare off some foreign investors, while 40% did not).

Easily view investor responses to previous financial questions

TSI Network also features a poll archive so you can see how investors have responded to previous questions. To access it, simply go to the TSI Network home page and click on the “Poll Archive” tab, located just below the TSI Network Daily banner.

The site then takes you to our poll archive page. Polls are organized by month, starting with the poll that’s currently displayed on the site. Last week’s poll follows, and so on. For example, here are the two polls below last week’s poll on the list:
