section will run each Saturday and is aimed at helping our readers better understand money and investment issues.

Each week it will feature: A regularly updated column giving current local bank and deposit company savings rates.

Reader-friendly articles on savings and investment products, the stock markets and saving and investing advice for people of all ages.

A regular column by Martha Myron CPA, CA. Ms Myron is a Bermudian licensed (Series 7 NASD) Senior Financial Advisor with First Bermuda Securities. This Saturday will be the first of her informative series on investments and investing from a Bermudian and offshore perspective, starting with one of the most familiar of them all: Just what are stocks and how do I buy them? It is the newspaper's hope to expand the section to include as much local content as possible and we encourage financial advisors and investment firms to contact us at e-mail editorial ygazette.newsmedia. com with any suggestions.
