MARKETS:
 
The past 2 quarters have brought more volatility to the market.  When I was updating my Monthly Minute I realized the same situation happened last September-October. The TSX dropped 10% over a 2 week period and made many people nervous about future growth.  The challenge of no income from safe investments can be difficult, and often triggers us to add more equity exposure.  But with that comes additional volatility.  So, for longer-term money its critical to ensure we maintain the balanced approach and re-balance to ensure you are on track.





Can you guess the number of days per month we have seen more than 1% increase or decrease in 2014?

a. 0 trading days
b. 4  trading days
c. 20 trading days 

      
Remember, Warren Buffet once said:  "Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful."

Aphasia is often a result of a stroke and affects one's ability to speak.  The Aphasia Institute provided tremendous support to my family when my father suffered from a stroke 5 years ago. $1,200 was donated on behalf of my father to the institute. I want to thank family and friends for their support

They are recognized worldwide for their ability to help bring life back to stroke victims, and I want to express my thanks to the wonderful team at The Aphasia Institute. 

If you know somebody who suffered from a Stroke, please consider supporting this wonderful cause. For more information, click here.
