Don't Miss Out, Nourish
You might have mistook the Anderson's family home as a homestead what with the stunning natural beauty of the Little Belt Mountains clearly visible all around. Their home was, however, only one of many in Great Falls, Montana, a city too big to be a town. On this sunny summer day, the cool breeze had brought in a guest from the Far North.

How 3 Colours can Own All of Them
Growing up, I thought I was immune to racism. After all, I am not able to see the colour(s) everyone goes on about. Red, green, and blue are the ones I am stuck with. I mean, if racism was some kind of playground game, and all I can see is green, I am in the safe zone, right? Well, now I know better and here's the how and why as well as how I approach racism now.

Stock Trading - Entry 30
My investments are moving along and I am starting to wonder what to invest in. Well, my mind wandered so far in its ruminations one day that I somehow ended up looking into Chinese astrology for a free stock tip - rabbit holes on the Internet are pretty deep! No, I didn't jump in blindly, but it suggested an industry I had not previously considered. And so, my research into fintech (financial technology) commenced.

Stock Trading - Entry 29
Alright, so it's time to kick off 2025. What follows are some tips from real estate investors, a company that didn't make my cut, a rounding out of my ETF comparison, a couple stocks that did make it into my portfolio, and DRIPs. Note: I am not dispensing financial advice; these are only my thoughts pertaining to my own financial position and my own investment goals.

Car Number 121. Content Warning.
Imagine a nice, mild wintery day on a country road. There's some snow on the wide, open fields, but not too much. It's cool as opposed to cold, so a nice, warm jacket will do. There are no leaves on any trees; no shrubs or tall grass. And it's sunny because there are very few clouds in the sky.

Stock Trading - Entry 28
For those wondering why I axed three non-performing shares recently without selling them, well, a few things. First, that is a small amount of my portfolio and I can afford to wait ten years for the off chance of an increase in the stock price. Second, I am considering them as total losses unless the first point comes to fruition. Third, I have been getting emails like this for almost a year now:

Allusions Unexpected
They had been chasing each other for some time and joining friends at a lakeside cottage they rented for the long weekend that summer seemed to match their excitement and exuberance. Following some afternoon pleasantries, Charles suggested Tamika join him for a stroll down the beach, although not for a swim as the party had decided on using the rather large hot tub later that evening.

Stock Trading - Entry 27
So I logged in to my account on Wealthsimple (use this link to create your own account and get $25 free dollars) recently one day because I wanted to buy, but not much. Just a little. I doubted it was worth it, but when I checked out the fee page, I found something verrrrrrry nice:

Stock Trading - Entry 26
This article is all about my thoughts on having an exit strategy when buying stocks. Again, this is not financial advice; it is only my personal thoughts on the subject that I am applying to my wealth-building journey. Exit strategy. Mucho importante. Extremely important.

Stock Trading - Entry 25
After several months of saving over two hundred dollars per year (check out the simple strategy I used here), I have decided to resume my stock trading entries on an upswing. In short, I bought a bunch of stocks that cost well over $1. Which ones and why? Read on bearing in mind this is not financial advice - I am only explaining what is going on in my mind as I build wealth from my own stock portfolio from an initial seed fund of $360.

Russia's Eastern Man Needs a New Brother
I am, by nature, curious - and I am thankful for it. With that I have found joy and hope on many occasions. This article is one such case and I delight in sharing it given how out-of-balance the topic of Russia has been in the past decade or more in terms of negativity (even when due).

Stock Trading - Entry 24
Previously, I wrote about how El Salvador is using part of the electricity generated at a geothermal power plant at a volcano to operate a government bitcoin mining operation with the end goal of building a new city. This article contains a stock actually listed on a Canadian stock exchange doing a little bit of the same - minus the whole bitcoin thing. Are you ready to harness a volcano to add power to your portfolio?
