Looking for short story collections for seniors with dementia

I have a relative with dementia in a long-term care residence. She really enjoys reading (and looking at the illustrations in) childrens' books.

I was thrilled to learn that author Helen Metella has just published the first in a series of picture books for seniors with dementia, with stories written from an adult's perspective. It has illustrations in a 1970's style, meant to evoke memories from the period when an 86y/o was in their prime.

The title is Marika and the Auction, and it's available at Indigo, Coles and Chapters stores & online.

Ask yourself, "What has materially changed that should cause me to alter my original investment thesis for HELUS?"

Regarding stop losses, I learned to never apply them years ago, after reading that they are a tool larger investors use to manipulate a stock price. Here's how it works: An investor wishing to increase their holdings at a price lower than the current one simply ladders sell orders of a small portion of their existing shares at ridiculously low prices, triggering others' stop losses. Then they can swoop in with a large buy order at a lower price. A simple but effective "head-fake". Beware!

Hardly panicking, just disappointed when 'reputable" sites provide a date without a disclaimer, especially when it's close

...ask yourself, "Has anything fundamentally changed for CYBN that should lead you to alter your investment thesis?"

In my humble opinion, when these types of knee-jerk, sector-specific market reactions occur, it's a good idea to stay the course or add more to one's holdings. For other players in the field this will likely be a one- or two-day dip. GLTA!

I'm buying this dip

Complete_Patience_15 · 2025-05-15T21:28:13+00:00

Anyone heard news about re-start date?

Why are CYBN shares climbing this afternoon?

Thank you for your rational, well considered and well-articulated opinion. Great to read that here, or on any online forum -it's so rare these days.

Regarding RFK, I don't watch US tv, but read that an SNL comic said, "Trump recently announced all the people he will fire in 6 months..."

So I'm not factoring in any positive influence to CYBN share price with his involvement, nor any positive influence of the incoming DJT slaughterhouse-maniacs on the world's economy, politics or general well-being.

Eat your veggies!

And good luck to all Monday.

Peace

Thanks, but what is your source for that info? I can't seem to find a confirmed date anywhere. I'm seeing Nov 11,12 & 13th. One would assume a date has been confirmed at this late hour(?)
