September is back to school and the end of summer. Depending on how old you are, this can be a good or a bad thing! Those days are long gone for me so I’ll take it as a good thing for parents and the companies that count on that uptick in spending on supplies and […]

August was much like July, flew by way too quickly. I had a few good road trips, but was pretty disappointed by some of the worst summer weather on record in my home city. The markets reacted to some positive earnings from major companies in August pushing the Dow to new record territory: 22,000! Did […]

Summer seems to fly by rather quickly and this year is no exception. I went on a vacation out to Alberta and British Columbia in July and had an amazing trip. Time sure flies when you’re having fun!

I’m wayyyy behind on this post for my March dividend income. It is hard to explain why this post is so late, but let’s just dive right in and see how March shaped up! March was kind of rough here in Ottawa. We had record cold temperatures and the snow kept coming. Escaping winter seems […]

February flew by but was far from uneventful. For me, and probably many of you, the Oscars gaffe for best picture was one of the more memorable highlights of the month. I think this incredible catch is also up there for me, even though I don’t actually watch baseball, you have to give this guy […]
