  • The Smith Manoeuvre – Is Your Mortgage Tax Deductible?
    May 8 2025

    The Smith Manoeuvre is an efficient strategy to use equity in your home to invest for your future without using your cash flow. It converts your mortgage over time into a tax deductible investment credit line.

    Most Canadians are searching for a feeling of financial security, but all the bills & life expenses mean they never build up enough of a nest egg to be secure.

  • 3 Principles of Successful Investors (UPDATED)
    May 1 2025

    Are you one of those investors for whom things just seem to always work out well?

    Getting superior long term returns seems to take little effort. Whatever strategy you use seems to eventually work. You don’t spend much time or effort, yet most of the time you are feeling quite confident about your investments.

    Or are you the type of investor who always seems to struggle?

    It seems everything you buy goes down right after you buy. When you finally sell, they take off. And the investments you hold long term mostly underperform.

    We have often encountered both these types of investors. Struggling investors are far more common. They usually have trouble believing that many investors outperform with little effort. Those that find investing effortless just shake their heads at the frantic activity of struggling investors. This applies to both professional and amateur investors.

    Why is investing so easy for some and for others it is always a struggle?

    In my podcast episode you’ll learn:

    • The real reason some investors succeed with ease while others constantly struggle — and it’s not about picking the right stock.

    • The 3 core beliefs that define successful investors: Faith, Patience, and Discipline — and how each one dramatically impacts your long-term returns.

    • Why faith in the market and humanity is more important than trying to outguess short-term movements.

    • The staggering cost of impatience: how chasing performance can quietly erase up to 75% of your lifetime returns.

    • Why fewer transactions = better results, and how overtrading (especially by DIY investors) sabotages success.

    • The #1 mistake most investors make — and how having a long-term financial plan keeps you grounded and growing.
