There has been a lot of talk about Canabis, the drug, the healing agent, however a less sexier version of the plant species is Hemp. Hemp is like the workhorse. Historically it has done some heavy lifting, the plant has a lot of useful and profitable product potential. Check back here for some consolidated info, commentaries on Hemp that I glean this year. Be sure and check the comment section, I will be posting links mainly there. ~ TLR

Some research for The Ross Ranch
https://www.angus.org/mobile/education/PDFs/PermanentIDFactsheet.htm
"A silver lining is a sign of hope or a positive aspect in an otherwise negative situation. The phrase is often seen as part of the proverb Every cloud has a silver lining, meaning that there's hope or something good to be found in every bad situation."
With excess returns, interest goes up. Silver is one of them that comes to mind today. A recent inquiry from a dear old friend of mine brings up this topic today and the basic research done to respond with some sense of duty.
Dear friend, I hope you have had a chance to check out the link I sent yesterday. Silver is up 127% from it’s low point last year, for a return of 47.4%. It was one of the fast growing asset classes last year. I am not sure about your thoughts of investing directly in silver. 1000 ounces works out to be a lot of money, getting you in the $35,000 range is a lot to specialize with. It might be fun to own a little silver, but that would be the extent of it for me. If you do get some, I would buy 5-10 Ounces from you.
I am not going to give you any advice on this. Sounds like your doing your own research.
Here is a few links that I found which I found interesting.
https://www.bullionvault.com/silver-price-chart.do
https://www.kitco.com/charts/livesilver.html
“Silver hit US$48.70 per ounce, the highest silver price to date, towards the end of the 1970s. The metal’s bid price was driven by the Hunt brothers, two wealthy traders who attempted to corner the market by buying not only physical silver, but also silver futures. They then took delivery of that silver instead of taking legal tender in the form cash settlements. Their exploits ultimately ended in disaster: On March 27, 1980, they missed a margin call and the silver market price plunged to US$11.”
Silver is an interesting asset, it is on the high risk level of a portfolio, as other precious metals are. Here is a group of charts in our system that you may also find interesting .
https://www.visualcapitalist.com/?s=silver
Here is a link to the Dynamic Precious Metal Fund, I am attaching a Fund Fact sheet as well. If you would like to invest some money in this portfolio, we could meet to discuss this. This is the F series of the portfolio and our advisory fee per year would range from 1 to 1.5 % depending on volume invested. There is other portfolio’s available, I think this would be representative of the asset class , and this is not a deep dive into the asset class. This portfolio is more diversified than a direct silver only fund. Less risk, similar reasons for increased demand for precious metals.

Thanks

, these are Shaggy Manes, they are delicious, ( I was told they were no good when I was young, so I ignored them all my life, did some research and they are a good find, easy to identify, tasty ) and do not last long, they will turn inky quickly, ( you can make a dye from them ) they would need to be eaten or preserved quickly after harvest as they decompose quickly. I fried the last ones I found, I have 2 spots that I visit on our place in Tincap, just thinking, I put gravel on the one spot this fall, so that might be rough next year, the other spot was near the apple tree , ooooh that's good, I wasn't thinking when I laid that gravel down out back. Little tip, one should make it a policy to cook your mushrooms, that cooking process makes them safer and potential for an upset tummy goes way down, eating raw can have its challenges. Also, don't mix your mushrooms, if you have a problem, you want to know which type has that effect on you. If any doubt don't consume, you can pick and study, even if you don't end up eating it, you will learn, you don't want to tax your system. this reminds me of an old saying in taxes, if in doubt , deduct, I would still be careful, you have to be reasonable and it's best to seek some professional guidance along the way ( one of my core disciplines that pays the bills,) It's always better to do it under the guidance of an experienced professional with a good supportive team, continuity, responsive, bigger refunds, less tax overall, strategy, audit proofing, peace of mind, just a few things that should be considered, I'm not just a fun fund guy, Tim the Tax Man 
, that's why we have developed a family office, one stop cover the financial bases, there is a lot to think about, it's all intertwined
Like taking a spore print, we like to check the assessment of a persons tax return, it reveals a lot that is important to your tax health

https://improvingfutures.ning.com/blog/peak-dealership-representative-disclosure
READ THE FINE PRINT
Tax Disclosure, if in doubt, deduct, however, count the cost, ( note you do not have to write off any or all of your expenses) make sure it's right, makes sense, seek professional help for that determination and preparation, heed their advice, make that investment, it's not really a cost, it can save and make you money either way, if they say no, don't, as you are responsible to them and your country to do it right, see the notice to reader in the engagement letter, plus, note, you do sign off, and you do acknowledge, that it is a serious offence to make a false return, and you will certify that the information given on your return and in any documents attached to it is correct and complete and fully discloses all your income, and there is more related to various acts that provide for the imposition and collections of taxes and duty's, with failure to compliy ressulting in interest payable, penalties or other actions ( it's those other actions that could and would mess with your peace of mind ) , so let's do it right ok.
Mushroom Disclosure, if in doubt, don't eat , it's that simple.

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

Rachel Fisch of Wagepoint on TWS & CEWS compliance in time for 2020 year-end
 |
Rachel Fisch is a strategic advisor at Wagepoint. Join Rachel and Juliet Aurora, co-founder of AIS Solutions & Kninja Knetwork, on December 16, 2020, for a webinar on reporting wage subsidies for 2020 year-end. |
Year-end reporting is complicated in a normal year — in 2020, it’s “rocket surgery.”
This year saw the federal government introduce two different wage subsidies to support small businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic: the 10% Temporary Wage Subsidy for Employers (TWS) and the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS). Both subsidies are considered income for the small businesses who took advantage of them and, as such, they each have specific reporting requirements.
If you and your small business clients are feeling overwhelmed, you’re certainly not alone. This overview will walk you through the ABCs of the wage subsidies, and if you’re still confused about closing your clients’ books, you can join our December 16th webinar to go over it all in detail. I will be hosting this webinar with Juliet Aurora, co-founder of AIS Solutions & Kninja Knetwork.
