Here are 10 timeless lessons from the greatest investor of all times: 🧵
🧵 25 Things I wish I knew about investing 20 years ago.
Lesson 1: Invest for the long term.
In the short run, stock returns can be very volatile, but they are very robust in the long run. Over time, stocks always perform better than bonds.
If you have over 30 pounds to lose, and you want to look great next summer, you need to start now.
Here are 8 tips for you if you want to lose the gut by Summer 2025:
1. You have 2 options for breakfast:
Eat 50 grams of protein OR skip it. No bagels, no cereal, no muffins, no Starbucks sugar bombs. Protein or BUST.
2. You get 2 alcoholic drinks per week max:
No beers, make them clear liquors (vodka, tequilla, gin) and 1 ounce pours. Measure them out. Having zero is an even better idea.
3. You get 1 meal out at a restaurant per week max:
Make your own breakfasts and lunches. No more drive throughs for you. One dinner out per week, Friday night, Saturday night, or Sunday night - your choice. But ONE only.
4. 50 grams of protein minimum at every meal:
Choose your protein, and build your meal around it. You must get 50 grams of protein per meal. This means no more pizza.
Burgers must have more meat than barbecue sauce and "extras". Pasta must have more ground beef than cheese. Protein is king, treat it as such.
5. Walk for 1 hour outside daily (weather permitted):
You can break it up into 2, 30 minute walks if you wish. If the weather is bad, hit the treadmill or elliptical. Your pace doesn't need to be fast. But you need to move your body daily to get the weight off of you.
6. Lift weights 3 times per week for 40 minutes:
Wake up early and get it done before work if you're busy. Or at your lunchbreak if you work from home.
Do 1 press, 2 rows, and 1 leg exercise per session. 3 sets of each. 8-12 rep range. Toss in some curls and triceps if you want, but it's not necessary. Track your workouts and get stronger.
7. No more snacking, PERIOD:
You heard it. Stop snacking. Don't buy it, and you won't be tempted. No more chips, no more candy, no more bullshit.
Be an adult, man. Stop smashing "treats" like you're 4 years old. You can make it from meal to meal without a snack. Develop some disicpline.
8. Unlimited diet pops:
Forget the bozos who claim diet pop somehow makes you fat and increases insulin (it doesn't). The fizz will fill you up, and you'll get a solid treat for no calories.
If it has no calories, drink up and enjoy.
9. If you mess up, DO NOT GIVE UP.
Nobody's going to be perfect, so stop thinking you have to be. Take it day by day. You'll lose the weight quickly if you follow these 8 simple rules.
But you have to stop stopping.
You owe it to yourself.
You owe it to your family.
If you can average 1 pound of weight loss per week over the next 6 months, you'll be down 25-30 pounds by April, 2025. Possibly more.

My take on increasing the inclusion rate for the capital gains tax.
1- As a small business owner, I find it very offensive that this has been sold to Canadians as a tax on the rich.
I know quite a few people who have small businesses that are successful. Often times not paying themselves for months or even years with no guarantee that they will reap the benefits down the line.
Clearly this government does not have a lot of people who have built businesses from the ground up.
2- It will impact self-employed workers such as physicians who have studied years to get to this point. Many of them who did not start earning income until their 30s. @MarkMcGrathCFP had a great thread on this.
3- It will make Canada a less attractive place for foreign direct investment (FDI). I encourage you to look at what happened in 1988 and 1990 when Canada increased the inclusion rate to 66% and then 75%.
4- They are clearly trying to offset the potential drop in FDI with measure to force pension plans to invest more in Canada.
For a government that claims that this tax increase will tax the rich, then why is this review by Stephen Poloz announced a few months after big Canadians businesses sent a letter for such measures? Or is it a way for them to offset the displeasure of big businesses for the capital gains tax by offering them more capital via pension plans? Or is it just an attempt to offset a projected drop in FDI?
Canadian pension plans already invest significantly in Canada. Much more than what Canada represents as a percentage of investible assets globally.
Active members in these plans contribute 9~15% of their salary. The only role of the pension plan should be to maximize the investment so that they can fulfill their pension promises.
My honest opinion is this review is just for show and that we will see these measures sooner rather than later.
