Happy November!  I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and Halloween!  I wrote in my last commentary how I was going to try and fight to keep some of that unstructured time that I found during the pandemic as things reopened.  That is not going well for me so far!  We had 11 soccer games […]

Happy September!   Sadly, summer finished with a bit of a whimper for me.  Smoke forced us out of Kelowna earlier than we had planned, and by mid-August, my work schedule was packed, and soccer was back in full swing.  It’s lovely to see clients face to face again; nice to be back on the pitch coaching […]

Happy August!   Halfway through summer, just like that!  The older I become, the faster time gets, and I especially feel the accelerator pressed in the summer months.   July was excellent for me.  We got up to Kelowna for a couple of weeks with the whole family, then my wife and I went to Banff for a few days […]

Happy May!   I read an article this month on “languishing” that sort of hit home with me.  Psychologists define it as “characterized by lack of positive emotions and reduced interest in life along with suboptimal psychological and social functioning.” Or, from a layman’s perspective, it’s a feeling that while things are “fine”, they’re not necessarily good.  That […]

Opening up a young investor’s first account is one of my favourite things to do and I have had the privilege of being able to open up quite a few accounts for clients’ kids over the last year.  Thought you might find it beneficial to understand my thought process and philosophy in helping guide “new […]

Happy Easter!  Hope everyone found a way to get out and enjoy Spring Break!  Tough time of year for me in that I have become quite accustomed to taking a couple weeks off after RRSP season and getting away somewhere hot with the family. Especially hard to take when Canada has had to go backwards in restrictions […]
