Although I never intended this blog to be one with daily posts ,I did not think it would be this long between posts. I will be starting one of the main themes today. That is a discussion of my investment decisions. But before I get to them, a few words of caution.
Not everybody should have the same investments. Every one has their own financial circumstances, their own goals, and their own risk tolerance. I don't know your financial situation or your investment goals, and trying to cover all possible combinations would take a book. However risk is much simpler. I have a very high risk tolerance and many of the investments I make have quite high risks. One of the reasons that I can sleep at night is that I have a history of being a successful investor. If I make a bad decision on a particular investment I know that I will make enough good decisions to more than make up for my losses. I will be posting a series on investment strategies where I will be going into more detail on my views of risk, but you should be aware that there is a high level of risk in many of the investments that I will be discussing.

The New Kid on the Block
A brand new blogger has entered an already crowded universe. What can you expect to see discussed in this blog? Eventually a wide range of topics, but, at least for now, primarily Canadian politics and investments. I had thought of starting two blogs, one for each major theme, but decided to combine them into one. While you may be primarily interested in one or the other main themes, I hope that you will at least read the posts on any other topics. Anybody who has had money invested in trust for the last two years knows that they are interconnected.
I will discuss my investment philosophy in general and give you specific examples of investment decisions I have made and the reasons for them have been very successful over the long term, considerably out performing the TSX index. Of course past performance does not always indicate future performance, so I may be setting myself up for a public record of how badly my portfolio will perform in the future.
On the political side I will be posting my thoughts on certain topics, sometimes in brief comments, sometimes looking at things that might not be obvious at first glance, hence the indepth part of my blog title.
Hopefully you will find my posts interesting and informative, sometimes amusing or infuriating but worth an occasional visit
