A Man For All Seasons

"More is a man of an angel's wit and singular learning. I know not his fellow. For where is the man of that gentleness, lowliness and affability? And, as time requireth, a man of marvelous mirth and pastimes, and sometime of as sad gravity. A man for all seasons."

This interview will give you some legal insight on the matter, it’s interesting insight on the ethics, history of law and the dangers to the future.

Devotion from this morning

I received an email yesterday from our MGA, Financial Horizons, no entry unless you show your papers, doors locked , and if you visit, you can do so for up to 15 min and not be subjected to the paper policy nor testing policy. This does not effect me to much as I rarely attend their offices, but it is an interesting approach being put out there by this business who we do business through.

Good Afternoon, You probably noticed during the commercial breaks two common themes: Jon Hamm from Skip the Dishes and Questrade. Despite spending a lot of money to air during the Super Bowl, Questrade’s investment track record leaves a lot to be desired. Every Questrade portfolio has consistently underperformed their fund category. And thanks to their ads, We found it a little difficult to sit back and enjoy the game without being offended by the question: “You’re not still investing with Mom and Dad’s guy, are you?” “The lower fees are making a big difference.” Are you sure? Over the years, Questrade has focused on shifting the entire investment conversation to costs (which I suppose is no surprise given their relatively poor investment returns). As such, their misguided basis is a simple calculation of who paid the least amount in fees. Don’t get me wrong, we’ve always said that costs are important. It’s one of the reasons we deliver industry-leading fees to our clients. But don’t the actual investment results matter? With that we have put together some charts (see below) based on data last year from Dalbar. This survey indicates that investors have an increasing level of trust and confidence in their financial advisor. The same survey also showed that investors are placing increasing value on financial advice.

Attached is a client-friendly Questrade comparison.

There is so much info on Covid, I have not done much with it on my blog here. A search on COVID revealed ZERO results just now. So here is the 1st posting directly on the topic that I receently shared on facebook. Enjoy, reflect. ~ TLR

"This is interesting, surprisingly Canada is on the map ( often our global impact is so small we do not get noticed as a country ) , sometimes we wonder how did they do it so fast ? Well, the devil may be in the details, the fear certainly is, anyway, corona viruses have been studied for ages, so it was not a big deal to figure out how this one was composed, and thus a vaccine could be quickly figured out as it's basically a process that companies in this business have been working on for a long time, so the system is in place to get the job done, on this one the companies received billions of dollars in advance basically they were prepaid and didn't have to go get the R&D funds allocated to the projects. This basically made it so they could turn themselves loose on the systems they had, money that often takes years to get in-order to do the work was there, it wasn't piecemealed out , so the research and testing was implemented right away, also the red tape of government that slows down the work approval process was lifted / change to be more responsive , this thus allowed quicker turn arounds, thus the warp speed results we are seeing on a massive scale. Good or Bad, money and systems allowed it to happen, we can thank Donald Trump for making large amounts of the money available, I am sure there was other countries adding some fuel to the pot, but his teams push made the difference on this. A lot of money was made in this space, and lots more will be made, looking back on it all 3-4 years from now will be interesting indeed, legacy kind-a stuff I think. In the meantime, work on your immunity " ~ TLR
