Diary Redux



I took some time off from writing as I got very busy over spring/summer 2018. Not only was I incredibly busy at work (I'm a CPA, CA by trade, and March - June is our busiest time of year), but I was also studying in preparation for writing level two of the CFA exam (which I passed, yay!).

Suffice it to say, I had zero time to write (or focus) on anything other than work or study. I also realized, in the context of my studies, that most of what I had written about previously was absolute rubbish. How can I write about picking stocks when I'm not a stock picker?

So I deleted the previous blogs and I'm starting fresh, hopefully all the wiser.

I'm restarting my blog to focus on any and all financial topics I find interesting. I will endeavour to focus on both good and bad financially geared content floating around the web. I have no reservations with respect to calling anyone out, especially in the context of financial pretense (i.e., feigning financial acumen or expertise when there actually is none).

I hope to cover a range of topics, relevant to me and likely relevant to many do it yourself investors, not limited to:


  • Musings on market related issues
  • Portfolio construction and asset allocation 
  • Random thoughts on asset classes, sectors, and, gulp, stocks 
  • Fixed income
  • Preferred shares 
  • Thoughts on sentiment
  • Economics
  • Taxation
  • Canada
  • Hockey 
  • Etc


So, welcome back. Hopefully this attempt will be more fruitful for the reader than the previous two incarnations (and less rubbishy, though no promises here whatsoever).
