Investorial

Now that I’ve let slip about why my next blog post will be, you can tell I’m deciding to have a little fun with this! Behold, my preview interview with myself!

Okay, self. Why are you doing this preview? Why not come straight out with your reasons and write the article already?
It’s very simple, Investorial is not a site that recommends or dis-recommends stocks. There are many blogs out there that do a great job. I don’t know of any of the top my head but if you know some, please let me know. I’ll publicize them here!

Wait a minute, you’re not answering the question! Why beat around the bush?
I was just saying that I’m doing this preview to clear up some of the mis-understandings that might occur if I posted the article right away. I don’t want there to be a conflict of interest with Investorial’s mission. I’m going to be coming at this story with a different angle. A perspective that is relevant to discussing about investment/financial media and the information these media gives us. When I write the post, I want to really concentrate on the piece and not have to explain myself.

Why choose Tim Hortons and not any other stock?
I’m Canadian, eh? And Tim Hortons is as Canadian as it gets. When you think about it, Tim’s IPO is a funny situation; with it being a really boring business but yet garnering all the buzz and hype of the next big tech company IPO. It’s also set to trade in the next few days. Hopefully I can churn out the piece before it starts trading. One phenomenon hit home with me - my friends that have never considered trading stocks are asking me about the IPO. They are scrambling to open brokerage accounts to buy the stocks. It’s really an amazing story that I can’t miss.

So we can expect the story within the next 24, 48 hours?
Like I said, hopefully! I’m not a full-time blogger. I’d say 60% of the content is already in my head. I’d like to do some fact-checking and find more information before I go ahead and deliver the piece.

Anything else you’d like to achieve?
Sure! This is a blog and what I love about this medium is its interactivity, discussions and sense of community. I’d like to invite any bloggers out there to post about why they would or would not like to buy the Tim Hortons stock. Let me know when you’ve posted! I’d like to publish two list of links (woulds vs. would nots) here at the end of this article to the related blogs! A track-back, or link-back to this post would be appreciated, but is not a requirement.

Great! Looking forward to the post!
Thanks! Looking forward to the interaction!
