We are now located upstairs (Suite 2) at 346 Second Street (Copperfin Building) in the old Agnew and Chapman Optometry office, just down the hall from the Dr. Parrott dentist office. Our phone, fax and emails are all the same. Rita, Lori and I will be happy to set up an appointment. Stop by if [...]

Once again, repeating last summer’s market selloff (when markets fell about 15%), we are experiencing some “panic-like” selling. Last summer the panic was caused by economic challenges in Greece. This summer, most of the challenges to confidence stem from the challenges in the U.S. with their debt rating downgrade and residual fear from the 2008 [...]

In the course of our daily conversations with clients, and our interaction with all types of media, it seems as though there are two distinct world views. The majority [...]

Matt Ridley is a scientist, but this book could definitely be described as an economic text. His 359 page description of a 100,000 year view of history, trade, innovation, and especially on human behaviour challenges the reader to think in a new and unique way. It might help to be a bit of a human [...]

One of the new projects my team is working on lately is a cash-flow management “process”. In the last year, more frequently, we have met with families that make good incomes, but are struggling with the day to day management of the cash flow. Poor day to day decisions leads to frustration and bigger challenges [...]

There has been a lot of excitement in the media lately regarding the recent volatility (mostly downward) in the stock markets of the world.
