Latest developments since hiring my trainer. I'm keeping weekly track via scale and tape measure of various parts of the body. I ended up ditching the digital scale and going with the analog one as I found the digital one was wildly inaccurate. Additionally, the tape measurements are, of course, sub...

Looking forward to it! Along with managing my own portfolio, I also manage a "dinner" fund for my extended family and currently those funds are invested using Canadian ETFs. That fund is actually invested in a 3x33 (XSP.TO, CGL.C, and ZFL.TO). My own portfolio is held in a discretionary family trus...

As in the other thread, I don't understand. Why would someone leave here due to the politics? Why not just stop browsing this subforum where all the political content has been corralled into?

The quality factor is one of the most well known and well-established anomalies in finance. This is a copy of Robert Novy-Marx's landmark 2012 paper on the quality factor and its robustness. Despite quality's visibility as a factor it is not widely known that it is really the "other side" of the val...

A niche investment product for a niche part of the investment community. I've had an incredibly difficult time finding an emerging markets multifactor fund in Canada that actually does what it says it will do and at a reasonable fee. Ideally, you want emerging market companies that are below average...

OH, and of course, who can forget: antiques.

I'm personally quite partial to the idea of fine art as being a great alternative hard asset. A second one would be a wine portfolio. These two investment classes are enough off the beaten path that they won't be subject to the same market forces as traditional investments. However, they are bought ...
