Fortunately bitcoins dramatic drop makes our conversation prophetic. Really, I wanted you to be cautious. However, the changes coming to HopeFS will be amazing. Stay tuned!!!!!!

You have no doubt heard about Bitcoin and Blockchain. I will do my best to translate what I have learned into English. Wish me luck! Bitcoin can be thought of as one product, for example a Model T Ford is a product.

Three students are waiting at the lunch counter, Steven has $20 that his mother gave him, the other two, Justin and Billie each have a toonie that their mother's gave them. Justin and Billie realize that Steven can buy a slice of pizza and a chocolate milk with his money

I will be in Calgary on September 18th at the Ranchmans Club to meet with senior executives from Cenovus, Encana, and Ensign. I think it is very important for me to b eable to talk directly to the management of companies that are in our pools or funds.

I hope you enjoyed Canada Day and have been taking advantage of thee heat this summer. Our family kept up the tradition of going to the Parade. We have been going since the kids were born and haven't missed one. I was reflecting on Canada Day and how lucky we are to be Canadian. I don't think we celebrate our Country enough.

I hope our June newsletter finds you and your family healthy and happy. Enjoy Canada Day and the fact that we live in the greatest country on earth!!!! The vote for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union has caused a lot of volatility in the markets...

I hope our April newsletter finds you and your family healthy and happy. The early spring has been nice to see and the golf courses look wonderful. Fortunately, March was a positive month for our portfolios and April seems to be cooperating as well.

What makes our office different? We will spend our own money to investigate a company our client's own.

With as little as $100,000 invested, the average investor could lose out on a $335,000 opportunity the next time markets crash. I will make sure you have access to that opportunity.

I hope our February newsletter finds you and your family healthy and happy. Our family had the good fortune of attending our first NHL game together and my daughters could not have been more excited. Ok, I was pretty excited too.

It almost seems impossible that we just have February and March left for winter months. Our family is very fortunate to have a couple of trips to look forward to yet so we are very excited for the next couple of months. The market volatility this month has been very unsettling for a lot of people. I hope the quick email I sent out earlier this month helped ease some of your concerns.

As I listen to Michael Buble sing Christmas carols, I know Kim and I hope you are getting time with your family and friends during the holidays. In our humble opinion, the work we do for you all comes down to you enjoying time with your family and friends without having financial worries so I will keep the update short on the math this month.

The weather today is a harsh reminder of what winter looks like after we have had an incredible fall. I hope you have some plans for enjoying your family and friends over the holidays and maybe even down south for awhile (if your are PLEASE read below). Our family has a few trips planned and is very much looking forward to them.

It is hard to believe golf season is over, hockey season has started and the Blue Jays are still creating excitement. How time flies. I hope our October newsletter finds you well.

I hope our September newsletter finds you well. Cheering for the Blue Jays has been a excellent band wagon for my family to jump on. Being one man with three (wonderful) women has its challenges, but at least they all like sports. Our evening conversations now involve ERA's, Games Back, and the expanded September roster!!

I hope you have been able to get some time with your family and enjoy the incredible weather we have been having. Our family was fortunate to spend some time in Stoughton with Kim’s family, took in a Rider game, (in the rain) and camped in Saskatoon for a week. Rest assured, I am still constantly reading and reviewing your portfolio options, even at the campsite!

We provide these newsletters each month. Our clients and fiends on our mailing list got this information last month.

An 81 page report was released today by the Canadian Securities Administrators. It was so interesting I read it in one sitting. It details some of the cancers in our industry. I couldn't be happier with the direction Kim and I are taking our office. I am very excited about the next 12 months and our ability to save our clients thousands of dollars in fees while providing them with even better service and greater customization.

April has turned out to be much better than the past few years. I have even gotten a couple of partial rounds in on the golf course. I trust the following information will be useful and informative for you. As always, thank you for placing your trust in our office.
