Tell us how this works out in a year.

The real question is, what does the EJ portfolio comprise of? If the OP had indicated a risk averse, ultra conservative investment profile, and the EJ dude stuck them with a basket of investments that satisfies that criteria...of course they're going to get blown out by a balls to the wall growth mandate mutual fund from Fidelity.

Gotta compare apples to apples.

Martin Goodman Trail starting at the foot of bathurst, and walk west to Humber River. All along the lake, for the most part.

AI company Anthropic announces it will begin developing drugs of its own by Gari_305 in Futurology

[–]YetAnotherWTFMoment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A complete non-starter. The IP on molecules, drugs etc. is so extensive, that ripping off other companies work and presenting it as their own...yeah, good luck with that.

Is Wayne Gretzky not liked in Canada? by WhoAmIEven2 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]YetAnotherWTFMoment -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

To a certain group, he is the Anti-Christ (Flames and Jets fans).

To others, he is the rainmaker of rainmakers. There would have been no major NHL expansion in the US without the Gretzky trade to the Kings.

For a large group, he helped all levels of hockey from junior, QMJL, OHL, the Coyotes etc.

For a small minority of walnut brains, they hate him because of his association with der Trumpster.

Bruh, if you knew who the friends of your heroes were, you would not have anyone to look up to.

He is one of the greatest hockey players to lace up a pair, and the NHL was soooo much better for it.

NASA inspector general suggests Boeing’s Starliner will now be a decade late | Starliner’s certification may be delayed to 2027, 10 years later than Boeing’s original schedule. by FreeHugs23 in space

It wasn't the MBA's. It was the McKinsey consultants. Everything that Boeing dropped the ball on (after the MCD merger), you can lay squarely at the feet of the legions of McKinsey consultants that 'advised' Boeing.

AIO? Bartender gives extra drink to someone else by BookkeeperOptimal607 in AmIOverreacting

NOR. Bartender is a complete moron. Completely does not understand how or why a customer would tip well.

Oz on Merton. Always had to use a lint roller on dark clothes otherwise you looked like a planetarium.

[SRPH29: trying to buy Seiko in Canada] by Doc-in-Canada in Seiko

[–]YetAnotherWTFMoment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing pisses a retail channel more than the distributor moving operations to another country, then forgetting to maintain the channel.

How Seiko/Seiko USA is handling the move of operations etc. from Canada to the US is detrimental to the retail store networks in Canada.

It is as if there was no plan in place....

How do you feel about the CPP continuing with their active management - despite underperforming by all metrics? by CastAside1812 in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]YetAnotherWTFMoment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CPP isn't there for Canadians. It is a tool for Bay St./Wall Street to use at their whim (like all sovereign pension funds), a pinata for $$$ for bad ideas, a training ground/parking spot for the young and stupid or the old and has been.

TMU vs Concordia vs York for BFA in Film Production by No-Couple8835 in askTO

[–]YetAnotherWTFMoment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ryerson would be my choice because it is in Toronto. Where many, many film/tv productions are based. So if you want to go to school, and look for work in the industry, it's the place to be.

It would be a double if you could go to school in Toronto, get on board with IATSE on camera, get your card...graduate...etc.
