I don’t like discussing macroeconomics, but it seems like we can’t escape the topic of inflation these days. I think it’s safe to say that all investors right now, no matter the asset class or strategy, are concerned about inflation and what it might do to their portfolios. In this […]
There is a wide range of metrics, formulas, and calculations that can be used to measure the quality of a software or SaaS business. While many of these metrics are important overall, I believe that the most important metric is net dollar retention. Let’s take a look at why net […]
A little over a year ago (16 months to be precise), I published a blog post titled “Opportunities in Canadian REITs“, where I discussed a special situation investment opportunity. The volatility of publicly-traded REITs at the time (early COVID with no vaccination in sight) created the perfect opportunity for those […]
Around the world, governments have printed record amounts of money in the past months as a response to the global COVID-19 crisis. As a result, the macroeconomic issue that stands out the most in every investor’s mind: inflation. There are many ways to hedge against inflation; the most common one […]
When making investment decisions, it’s common to not rely on raw accounting or GAAP numbers alone. After all, net income is closer to an opinion than a fact. Reported accounting profits are adjusted by massive publicly traded companies, all the way down to small owner-managed businesses. Adjusted EBITDA is a […]
The velocity of money in investing is a concept that focuses on the return of capital instead of the return on capital. It’s a way to achieve “infinite ROI” on your investments. I wanted to share this concept with my readers and provide some examples to help illustrate it. So […]
Many entrepreneurs overlook the importance of capital allocation despite how critical it is. Capital allocation is the process of allocating financial resources to different areas of a business to maximize returns. Entrepreneurs who understand how to strategically allocate capital are able to effectively operate a business, optimize its intrinsic value, […]
There are many investing strategies when it comes to investing in publicly traded companies. It can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re a busy entrepreneur like myself who dabbles in stock market investing on the side. Full-time stock portfolio managers have time to work closely with analysts and debate implications of […]
I’ve been a math junkie for as long as I remember. I really enjoy discovering interesting math problems and paradoxes that defy intuitive logic. One of my favourites is the Monty Hall Problem. A probability puzzle named after Monty Hall, a game show host from the 60’s show called Let’s […]
Do you often get the urge to make decisions based on FOMO? The past year certainly hasn’t been an easy one for people that suffer from FOMO. With markets being as volatile as they are, entrepreneurs and investors across all asset classes want to avoid missing out on the next […]
I took some time to update my reading list which gave me an opportunity to reflect on all the books that I read in 2020. I read a lot of great books in the past year, but 3 really stood out. Narrowing it down to just 3 wasn’t easy, but […]
Many entrepreneurs know that running a business is like riding a constant roller – there are many ups, downs, twists, and turns. My eCommerce business is no different. But something unbelievable happened last year that, to this day, still has me in awe. In this post, I’m going to share […]
2020 was a volatile year for all asset classes, and multifamily real estate was no exception. I spent months looking at potential real estate investment opportunities but had a hard time finding anything of value. I thought I was going to finish the year empty-handed but managed to find a […]
I started to actively use Twitter in 2020, listening, engaging, and learning from people I respected and wanted to attract. In less than a year I went from 500 followers to nearly 15k and made life-changing connections. It was on this very platform that I met my business partner and […]
