Sean Mason and Keri Korteling compiled a list of lists for a quick rundown of the Top Five (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/article.asp?edtID=19757 ) posters, features and other popular features on StockHouse.

StockHouse premiered a new column this week. Money Savvy will run on Thursdays, and will help readers who have questions about how to better manage their money. The inaugural issue, by Canadian Financial Planner’s Association member Kevin Cork, explained why mutual funds (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/editorial.asp?edtid=19762 ) aren’t covered by the Canadian Deposit Insurance Corporation, and why that doesn’t make them less safe.

Danny Deadlock provided regular readers of the Micro-cap Monday column with an update about the investor relations efforts (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/article.asp?edtID=19749 ) of a small satellite technology company he profiled in the previous week’s column.

And there are few more powerful investor relations levers than a relationship with a blue-chip technology firm. The Micro-cap Spotlight delved into IBM’s (NYSE: IBM) Digital Media Delivery System (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/article.asp?edtID=19751 ), and the multiple ways it can benefit its lesser-known partners.

On Tuesday, trader Don Rodgers gave readers very specific insight (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/article.asp?edtID=19753 ) into his version of Trading Discipline, and detailed his trade of uranium producer SXR Uranium One (TSX: T.SXR).

Going against popular opinion, Steven Saville outlined the reasons he thinks the U.S. dollar is poised for a rally (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/article.asp?edtID=19755 ), instead of a slump.

Investors who have been negligent about protecting their investment capital (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/article.asp?edtID=19759 ) in their portfolios could take some advice from George Leong, who devoted his bi-monthly Technical Thursday column to keeping it safe.

Jon Ogg pointed to the upcoming IPO of a China-based solar wafer maker (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/article.asp?edtID=19760 ) as one to watch in his IPO Digest this week.

A lot of ink has been spilled in the financial press about the yen carry trade, but what about the Japanese stock market (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/article.asp?edtID=19761 ) ETF Check writer Don Vialoux noted a number of new exchange traded funds now represent that market, but worried that technical indicators don’t clearly show how the market will move in the intermediate term.

John De Goey admits that his views aren’t pretty sometimes, but insists that it’s the ugly truth of the financial advisory industry (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/editorial.asp?edtID=19766 ) that he’d like to transform in STANDUP Advice.

And with graduations fast approaching, Nancy Zambell wrote a Financially Fit primer for sending your favourite graduate into the world with his or her investment house in order. (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/editorial.asp?edtID=19765 )

Reporter Sean Mason, meanwhile, looks at the discussion surrounding a super nickel strike that’s stirring posters’ passions in Buzz on the BullBoards. (http://www.stockhouse.ca/shfn/article.asp?edtID=19767)
