Happy August! Hope you are having a great summer so far! I was planning on waiting until September to write this update, but markets have been taking a beating these last couple of weeks and bear commenting on. I am always unsure if highlighting market woes helps or hurts as there are many studies out […]
I hope everyone has had a great spring so far! I just got back from our Worldsource conference in the Grand Caymans. I’m not sure if our PR department gave enough thought to the optics of having a financial conference in a country known to be a tax haven for the rich…. Still, it was […]
Hope everyone is off to a good start to the New Year! Things sure do change fast. My last commentary was me whining about the third quarter. Tree fell in my yard, my dog died, markets were terrible. This year has started great. I had a nice getaway skiing with the family up at Big […]
Happy November! I’m pleased to turn the calendar over as October was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad month! COVID ran through our house in October, a tree fell on our fence in the sports court in our backyard, my dog died, markets dropped, and I can’t even complain because the situation in the […]
Happy May! So nice to get a beautiful spring weekend here in the lower mainland. My youngest son, Jordan, had a soccer game over in Nanaimo on Saturday. Great day for an Island road trip. Pretty fortunate to live in such a beautiful part of the world that a boat trip on the ocean with […]
Happy New Year! I hope everyone found that magical balance of rest, rejuvenation, and fun over the holiday season. I spent a couple of weeks in Qatar at the World Cup beginning in December and had to spend the Christmas season making up for it with the family. It’s the longest I have been apart […]
Happy October! I hope everyone has been enjoying the incredible stretch of fall weather. I was away in Whistler at a conference last week, and it sure felt good to show off what an amazing part of the world we live in to my Eastern-based colleagues! Hearing the advisors from Ontario moaning about $1.67/L gas […]
Happy Summer! It has been a time of milestone events for my family. Jake and Gabi both graduated university, Jordan graduated high school, and I coached my last kid’s youth soccer game as Jordan’s team won the U18 provincial championships. Of course, my daughter also got married last week! It has been a busy month, […]
Five months into 2022, we are off to one of the most challenging starts to a year in decades, and not just because of the weather! April saw the Nasdaq record its’ worst monthly performance since 2008. The IT sector is down 30% year to date, and the broader-based markets had their most significant monthly […]
Happy April! We’re officially through winter and into the spring, although I think the spring season in Vancouver has different connotations than in the rest of the country. Birds, butterflies, tulips, renewal, hope, and promise are typically symbolic of springtime. It seems to be just another few months of our 8-month rainy season here in […]
