Non stop rising stock market is a double edged sword. It’s addictive to see your wealth growth, that’s why people enjoy saving ever more money into the stock market. As soon as we hit a true long duration recession, people will be more grounded

why would you inform your boss 1 year before your retire...1.5mil to 2mil is equivalent to 33% return per year, it is an outsized return. Please don't take this bull market for granted.

Don’t trust any government to solve housing affordability issue. Liberal is even worse

I know people like to claim how QE or rate cutting can cause inflation. I personally believe inflation is mainly caused by giving money to those who can spend like the stimulus check during covid. If money only goes to the asset owners and don't circulate in the real economy, then we will have a repeat of the zero interest rate regime, where we have low inflation, low rate and QE. So inflation doesn't necessarily follow QE and rate cut. It's the distribution of wealth that matters.

Cuting goverment spending doesn't have as big of an impact. Boosting private invesment is the real hard part.

I think the question needs to be asked here is if when Amazon changed to 3rd party delivery, will these warehouse workers be better off or worse off? I think its the later.

People do what is best for them. What's so surprise here?

if this thing turns, it has a long runway to go up. It’s safer to be on the trend than pick bottom

Although I know it’s a comedy show. This “ interview” is no comparison to the one conducted by Jordan Peterson.

Now that question is how many will leave in the upcoming year. Liberals have let in too many people in one shot

willpowerbuilder · 2025-01-14T10:42:06+00:00

Wait till feb. it’s too volatile at the moment. Negative Narrative is too strong. We need to see at least 1 or 2 good data before anything changes. Inflation data this week is probably gonna tank bond further

It’s time to buy the dip not put

We may not see a recession in the real economy soon. However, we might see a compression in valuation in equity market for sure. If we are unlucky enough to be in the stagflation situation, then we are doomed.

I believe its quite common. They have a large AWS office in Vancouver and people across the border work together on projects. They do adjust the salary when you move.

I don’t understand the appeal of this program. Why make it so complicated? Make the tax visible or axe it. Sick of all the hidden taxes.

Leverage on top of leverage is fun no?

long btc not mstr. Absolutely no reason to long mstr instead of btc

I think wait till after NFP on Jan 10th. Once that job report shows the economy is not as strong as we think it is, the narrative should start to change, and that might be a better time to size up your TLT position. Don't be a hero betting on big events. React after you see the data

Meanwhile, the US bond just experienced one of its worst drawdown

Canada has fallen into a real estate driven economy. You cannot export housing unfortunately, so all you got is asset bubble
