charlie munger probably never said this, but I think about it a lot: "“If all you ever did was buy high-quality stocks on the 200-week moving average, you would beat the S&P 500 by a large margin over time. The problem is, few human beings have that kind of discipline."
Randomly checking the latest Express Entry draws and it's wild. Canada’s immigration system is so catastrophically cooked that I genuinely don’t know how anyone expects it to be fixed anytime soon. We’re watching highly qualified researchers and engineers leave because Canada can’t give them a realistic path to stay, while the system creates bizarre incentives around other immigration categories (refugees and french people, yea)
Half the top researchers I knew at McGill left because there was no viable permanent pathway. The other half moved to the US. We literally educate world-class talent, fail to retain them, and then act surprised when they leave. good luck. truly lol.
a reminder that car brained @fordnation + @BenMulroney are pandering to a small constituency. it’s desperate politicking. 70% of torontonians support bike lanes / blame for congestion construction ~74% and too many vehicles ~57% than on bike lanes ~34%.
One (or more) of these beaten down sectors will make a you multi-millionaire in the next decade. Remember this, people are so scared at the bottom. They miss the entire opportunity.

You watched Amazon go from $7 to $3,000. You watched Bitcoin go from $200 to $100,000. You watched SanDisk go from $50 to $2,000.
Every single one of those was on a list exactly like this one. Beaten down. Hated. Laughed at. "It will never work." "It's too risky." "The industry is dead."
You are looking at the next version of that list right now. Do NOT miss your chance.
@JeffVeillette the most disingenuous part of bradfords plan is that those trails already exist all over toronto — waterfront, don valley etc. to your point it’s not practical for the majority of trips. i can’t believe bike lanes are still a debate at this point.
also announced today - July was the single best month @BikeShareTO has ever had, 6% increase from last year - continuing the sustained growth it’s see in a city that used to be hostile to cycling is about to be kneecapped - https://t.co/AC6p3s0M12
@lucyhargreaves4 sadly, it doesn’t surprise me anymore as politicians right/left treat elections as vote-buying operations. @fordnation has doubled ontarios debt in his 10-year tenure to $495B. insanity.
If you think the bike lanes cause congestion on Bloor, you are a moron:
Bloor 2015:
- two lanes of car traffic
- two parking lanes
Bloor 2024:
- two lanes of car traffic
- one parking lane
- two bike lanes
The copper market has CRACKED. Spot prices flared out into a MASSIVE backwardation of over $300 per tonne as stocks continue to be pulled off the LME. This is the largest spread since 2021, and we all remember what happened then…
@fordnation FOLKS. more wasted money when @fordnation has already DOUBLED ontarios debt during his tenure to $485 B. micromanage the debt not the city, doug.
