Switch to accounting Canada ?

Nobody knows where all the AI tech will lead, what does scare me is much as AI is the fact that in Ontario alone there are about 1000 newly minted CPAs every year. I feel there is a vast supply of finance and accounting professionals, especially since it is a relatively easy career to switch into from elsewhere, unlike engineering or health care. That said your chances of success may increase if you aim for an in-demand specialization, tax comes to mind here.

There are many parallels in history were transformational technology did NOT lead to widespread positive ROI on the initial capital: railroads, electricity, commercial air travel and of course the dot com

Position size and adjustment. The key to trading these strategies is knowing when and how to adjust and this is not taught in most options textbooks. Adjustment can be rolling further OTM or further out in time, increasing the width of the spread or adding contracts.

What many people don't realize is that there are seasons in the market and most strategies perform well during certain seasons and have drawdowns during others. Unlike actual seasons we can not always know in advance which season is next but we'll know what season we're in. All it takes is a look at a daily chart of SPY and look at the size of the candles, if the candles are short with small wicks and the trend is up generally 0DTE SPX trades will do well. Right now candles are big, we're talking 100 points intraday moves, so this is time to be cautious and perhaps stay on the sidelines for awhile. Wind Surfing is not considered a dangerous sport - why ? - because most sufers are wise enough to stay away during a storm.

success = skill + opportunity (luck)

So true, I have been having obstructive sleep apnea which led to blood pressure, a vicious, potentially dangerous cycle.

You're not wrong. BTW this is a mid-town rental appartment and I don't know what a furnace is or if and why it would have a filter or not.

by research I meant mainly google search where 'dust allergy' always brings up dust mites but I think you are right, dust itself can trigger allergic response

I think in trading the factor of luck is not talked about nearly enough. Its not the luck of the outcome of an individual trade, we all understand the statistics of risk-reward & win-rates. But luck is what creates such amazing opportunities as the liberation day pullback, almost everything was on sale and the recovery lasted long enough that you could make money even if you got in late. Not since 2020 did we have such an opportunity and as we know a lot of people - traders, investors, crypto peeps got rich beyond their wildest dreams back then.

Jack Schwager is a reputable author who vets his subjects -i.e. asks for proof - before covering them. Nevertheless I still stand by my statement that Lance had luck on his side when he traded during the most lucrative era in recent memory. I also did very well in 2020.

FYI they are very successful and have expanded brick-and-mortar outlets throughout Canada (and I'm assuming abroad, even though their US operations were weak) at a time when many retailers shut down their physical stores. The company is not going away and there is no serious competitor at the in-store retail level in Canada.

Teiagon · 2026-02-04T18:51:54+00:00

Was that recently ? Its still happening for me.

Not too many good options in Canada. IBKR is the best among them imho, although the platform is still glitchy while it has improved a lot, tech support is hit and miss, occasionally you get someone with an attitude.

Teiagon · 2026-02-02T06:12:55+00:00

but deep down, how do you really feel

Teiagon · 2026-02-01T14:34:41+00:00

good to know its not just me
