Hellooo!
Sorry for the delay in our month-to-month reviews.
Life has been actually busy and the spouse and I went away to Mexico as soon as once more to absorb the rays, shoot some tequila and revel in child free time collectively.
The market modified rapidly eh? Is that this simply the beginning or did the fed backstop it sufficient to chill issues off? I dunno however it’s one thing I believed was going to occur as I mentioned within the fall once I offered all our monetary shares. You possibly can learn that publish right here with no edits.
“The extra I thought of issues the extra I see a coming monetary disaster. Finland is warning of an “energy-industry Lehman Brothers” disaster coming. I believe there shall be a ripple impact coming. Take a look at Deutsche Financial institution and Credit score Suisse inventory costs to see whats taking place there. Credit score suisse has mentioned the worst is but to come back…”
and right here we’re, the information retains speaking about credit score suisse. Whereas a number of the shares we offered are down in value, surprisingly to me some are nonetheless up. I don’t suppose the worst is over but however I proceed to greenback price common cash into the market.
One thing to think about is again in 08/09 banks began cracking 4-5 months earlier than issues actually went to sh#t.
We dwell in a printing press world and as a lot as I hate it, its a actuality. Biden and Trudeau are spitting cash out left proper and centre. Brief time period that could possibly be good for the market, however long run oh boy…. However a few of you realize my ideas on that – Tinfoil hats proper? 2030 you’ll personal nothing and be pleased.
Life
My son turned 10 in February, we had a pleasant celebration at lazer tag. It was nice. I got here third the primary spherical however failed miserably the 2nd as I took my daughter and her buddy out for his or her first time.

That saying – Get pleasure from em they develop quick – Is so true, there’s second’s that drive you loopy however man does time ever fly.

Talking of which I turned 40. We booked a final minute journey again to Mexico to rejoice. So what do 40 yr olds do? Nicely we put on pink flamingo shirts and linen pants now. =) Learn books on the seaside, (completed the psychology of cash, nice e book) however nonetheless smash tequila photographs and many mohitos. Yearly hangovers worsen, however these are nice studying days proper?
We took the fairy over and explored isla majeres – The island of girls. A ravishing place, noticed somewhat stays of a mayan constructing, did some buying and checked out the superb seaside there. Sadly the one topless ladies had been these statues… I’ll take it although! haha =)
We ended up taking a dream liner airplane again to Toronto. Wow these are good planes, 3 rows of seats not as cramped as common planes. Dimmable home windows and television screens. (I haven’t had television screens since flying to the canary islands a pair years in the past) Having this huge of airplane I believed would simply present how dangerous pearson airport could be with lineups and so on, however surprisingly there was completely no lineups to get by every part. Good work Pearson Airport.
