Block out the noise. This is what I shall attempt to do. Thank you

Good advice. Funny how my brain works. Almost everyone in social or professional life which I should regard as smart and experts have told me similar things. Something about getting random advice from a community like this one, where we all share interests for the most part that isn't at...

Thanks for your point of view. This is helpful at settling down some things in my head. Thank you.

I did NOT know over 2/3rds of managers couldn't do that. This put my situation in a slightly different light. I'm happy with what's happened over the years. Just trying to think if I need to do something drastically different for the upcoming few years. Maybe I'm rat holing too much on...

@Carvher and @sprite09 -> Sorry for late reply. I tend to login in when I have I'm planning some fun, and sometimes that doesn't happen for a few days or weeks at a time. I benchmarked performance based on S&P500 and Vanguard. Like I said, I'm pretty happy with what's happened. I just...

Thank you for your thoughts and point of view. I long suspected that there was a pattern or playbook that some people stuck to. I just couldn’t engage in any meaningful conversations about trends in the world without it sounding like a dismissal and sound bite answer and then re-hash old...

This is something I have not considered. Something to think about. Thanks.

thanks for the offer. My advisory team consistently beats the index too. But I think it’s important for me to try to diversify away from a bank.

I’ve got one and a i toy with it but I can’t really do it myself . Combination of lack of time, interest and knowing my own self which tends to get excited about stupid shit and get “gut feelings”. Need my core money and investments to be protected from my own damn self.

Hello folks I've been with one of the big canadian banks for wealth management for nearly two decades. I don't have any particularly big complaints but I'm pretty sure whatever I've done has been pretty conservative and almost 'cut and paste' with others who have a similar profile as me. I've...

I congratulate you for taking action on trying to fix or self improve in areas of your life you're not happy about. Whether its right or wrong or dangerous doesn't really matter. So many people just don't do anything and let the years go by without earnestly attempting to address something...

Argentina is great. I've never ever thought about Chile. I've done a few searches and this could be great!! Thanks

Hello community. I am planning a holiday with the SO in late November/early December for 10 days. Normally when we travel we seek out a bit luxury, go off to do some cultural/active stuff and then come back for luxury and nightlife. Bonus if the city has a friendly sex scene. I'd prefer if...

I'm mixed Caucasian/Asian.
