finiki:About

finiki, the Canadian financial wiki is operated in conjunction with Financial Wisdom Forum (FWF). The mission is to provide 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 advisor or post on the Financial Wisdom Forum.

In case you are wondering about the name, it derives from financial and wiki.
