finiki:About

finiki, the Canadian financial wiki is the wiki operated by the Financial Wisdom Forum (FWF). In case you are wondering about the name, it derives from financial and wiki. And the ' f ' is lower case.

Its purpose is to provide online access to Canadian financial topics for individuals who wish to educate themselves. It is a Canadian oriented wiki and does not try to duplicate Wikipedia. It is not a stock-tipping or financial advice service. Investors wishing to discuss their financial situation should seek a financial adviser or post on the Financial Wisdom Forum.
