Very sophisticated use of financial graphics.

FOUR (4) arsonists.

Prosecutors will be loving this one

This is a good read for financial journalists and all who appreciate financial journalism. They won't make them like this guy anymore.

The US housing bubble burst in 2007 and then went a bit quiet, before coming back in full swing when Lehman Brothers collapsed in Sept. 2008. This US regional bank crisis doesn't feel over yet, either. https://t.co/npRGJwZYv4

@kevinpollock1 Castles in France cost less.

[Scott Adams @ScottAdams_Cdn]

Castle in France going for about half or so what a 3 bedroom in TO goes for. I know, maintenance, taxes, etc etc but still…

Fraud and money laundering are more significant problems in Canadian #realestate than many people know. We'll have @scoopercooper and @BenRabidoux discuss it at our Veritas 10th Annual Great Canadian Real Estate Conference on Oct 6.

Probably should have listened to our webinar for alternative viewpoints with Bob Seeman. See next tweet for link to it:

And what happens if this happens?

"Seventy-five basis points next move, and possibly another 75, so they'll get rates up to 2.75 to three per cent by September."

@nasmadotali You know this already but be patient

This is a cycle unlike 2017 when foreign buyers taxes and rule changes drove down prices temporarily and in some areas prices leveled quickly only a year

This is mortgage rate based and therefore may turn out to be more like 1990

[Scott Adams @ScottAdams_Cdn]

And HT to the FT with perhaps one of the best headlines I've seen, in well, a long, long time.

Sometimes I think I've seen it all, but apparently not:

What a great story. I visited Moscow as a student back then and remember the McD's lineups. There were very few other restaurants. We ate a lot of borscht and bread in the Moscow State school cafeteria, and Snickers bars you bought from street vendors as you got off the subway.

A bit off my regular beat- McDonald's announced it's quitting Russia this week. About 30 years ago, my dad helped open the first location there. https://t.co/SHJtS2Z2xY

Ineffective.

@decloet If you could figure out which ones were going to thrive in the distant future, you could buy them cents on the dollar and get the (cash-flow negative) business for free. I recall Research in Motion and others trading at a discount to cash.

[Scott Adams @ScottAdams_Cdn]

Does anyone else remember 2001-2002-2003 when the sentiment was so bad for tech stocks that they traded at a discount to net cash on the balance sheet?

[Derek DeCloet @decloet]

oh what fun it is to be a tech investor right now

- Shopify at its lowest since March 2020. It has lost >C$200 billion in market cap since November

- Dye & Durham. Last year, management offered C$50.50 to take private; board said no. Now C$18

- Topicus down ~50% since Nov

@decloet @BrianWill_ Still, a mansion in France is less than half the cost of a tear-down in Toronto. Nutbars.
