The Real Estate Market Today
I have had my Real Estate License now for over 2 years. But we have been buying and selling Real Estate for ourselves for over 40 years. I have never seen a crazier time than the last 2 years. Most of our purchases and sales have been properties we have flipped. ...
Getting to Financial Independence
My students will tell you that my mantra in life is to “Think simple”. It was something one of my college professors always said, with a heavy French Canadian accent. He was one of the best teachers I ever had, and was an inspiration for me as a teacher. I have come...
Bad Grandpa??
I am a very bad grandpa. I admit it. I am also a fair bit of a Scrooge. Throw in Covid and you have the perfect storm. For the last several years I have tried to instill some financial sanity into the Christmas season. I have promoted a “small gift” for the kids,...
Real Estate. Some comments
I’ve been asked why there have been no new postings. You would think that with Covid there would be nothing but time to write. Writing takes more than time. It also needs inspiration. Real Estate has kept me busy, and I have been spending more time monitoring (Buying...

My Crystal Ball
Sorry it has been so long since my last post. Staying at home should have meant more time to do posts. But I hit a dry period in my creativity. I have been getting asked a lot lately about Real Estate Investing and investing in general. Seems more people are...
Wake up to Canada Canadians.
I was talking to someone the other day and we were comparing stories about American Patriotism examples. It got me thinking. Many Canadians have a poor opinion of American Patriotism. We think that it is over done. But is it?? Or does it just look that way,...
Results and Suggesions
I have found it easier to only post suggestions and result every second day. Even though we are trying to stay at home, there seems to be a bunch of things that come up that need doing with no regard for the To Do list. The Bottom Feeder Scan did not come up with...
Results and New Picks (April 30)
It is always nice to start off on a good footing. I have only posted the results for one Pick from the "Bottom Feeders" stock scan. That was Chesswood Group (CHW). It started at $3.86 and a week later was up to $4.94. It looks to open today at $6.22. that is a 61%...
