Interview of the Week
That’s what you would have earned if you had listened to Dr. John Johnston on MoneyTalks and switched a portion of your portfolio to $US denominated assets in early 2013. Heck, if you were an active investor and bought an inverse $CDN ETF like DLR a $10,000 investment would have been worth $14,340 in January of 2016, and even today it would still be worth $13,400.
At the 2013 World Outlook Financial Conference, with the loonie trading over $1.00 US, John accurately forecast that the Canadian Dollar would decline to the 70 cent level. Still one of the best money-making predictions of the last decade.
In this interview Michael ask John Johnston what’s next in the currency world, as well as some of the secrets behind his index beating Davis Rea Equity Fund, and the even more remarkable returns on his Fixed Income Fund. The first 2 minutes of this segment begins with Mike’s Quote of the week.
0:30 – 06:18 – Michael’s Editorial: We are in a long term trend, an anti-establishment movement where increasingly in so many new areas things are taken to extremes. You can see it in the demand that there should be absolutely no discussion, no questions allowed on global warming, pipelines or for that matter the whole progressive adgenda. The assault on free-speech is increasing, and it will increase until society in general is dramatically changed. Michael issues another warning, that they’re coming after your money too.
07:31 – 13:58 – Mike asks Michael Levy about a good news story along with another two stories smart people are talkng about.
14:27 – 18:22 – Mike’s Big Fat Idea covers Eamonn Percy’s book the 1% Solution, something every single graduate from High School should take to heart.
> Build the character traits necessary to overcome any obstacle.
> Achieve big, important goals and bounce back from any failure.
> Manage time better so you can be more effective and get more done.
> Become a leader, make decisions and communicate those decisions.
> Get things done and stay motivated during tough times.
> Achieve financial success and leave a legacy to those you care about.
There is no need to struggle by yourself.
Thanks to pressure from Donald Trump and Canada lagging terribly on its committment to maintain its military, the defense minister announces an increase of 14 billion over the next 10 years, and far more in the decade after.
Even the NDP have admitted attractive tax rates attracts businesses, capital and skilled people when they brought in their Film Credit. With the US set to lower corporate taxes, businesses including Hockey in Canada are going to suffer.
