I live in Canada and have never been to Algonquin Park! Decided this fall I am going to drop by to see the leaves changing colour . I have read the best time to see the colours is late September and early October. The trees at the park change colour a bit earlier since the park is at a higher elevation. This weekend should be a great time to visit . Check out this site to figure out the best…
Three questions great leaders ask : 1. Where are you looking to anticipate change ? 2. What is the diversity measure of your network? 3. Are you Courageous enough to abandon the past ?
I visited the Panama Canal at the Miraflores locks when it opened at 8 am on a Sunday. I was there by 8.30 am and was really sad to discover I just missed 3 ships that passed through the locks. The next ship set to pass through was at 1 pm . I had other places to visit so I looked around , visited the interactive museum and watched a movie about the canal before leaving. MUST DO : Call…
Yesterday my commodity shares had a jump . Both Lithium and copper . I am going to be holding these positions to analyze if this trend will continue. Facebook is being recommended by multiple analysts on BNN just given the number of daily users , the value of advertising on its platform and having Instagram for younger users . Today they received some negative news . Instagram founders quit FB . Their shares are expected to take a beating today….
I had a chance to be in Panama City recently and I wanted to visit a beachside resort while there . A beachside resort with strong wifi . My wifi requirement ruled out traditionally famous places for good beaches in Panama like Pear Islands and San Blas Islands ! I am not much for rustic accommodations. I ended up at the hotel in Buenaventura. Buenaventura is an exclusive gated beachside community in Panama. About two hour drive from Panama City…
Looks like the oversea markets did well today. I am currently a hold on most of my positions. I will have to wait out the month of September which is not fun . September historically has been a losing month for the markets . Based on the recent performance of my holdings I been thinking about changing my approach to short term investment. I have historically invested in distressed stocks or stocks on pull back . From October I am…
When I am feeling stressed or overwhelmed watching Ted Talks calms me down. Today I decided to watch ” 10 Ways To Have A Better Conversation – A Ted Talk By Celeste Headlee” You can find the link to the talk here . What did I take away from it ? Assume you have something to learn and truly listen . Use Open Ended Questions. Who, When Why , What, Where and How If you don’t know – be honest about…
Overseas markets are trending green today . I am holding on to some social media stocks and commodity stocks . I don’t see anything planned happening in these two areas this week . I have to think about what I want to do with these positions. At the moment I will be monitoring the market and not making any active trades . Sometimes it becomes a waiting game and patience is important!
My aunt has a cottage in Hasting Ontario . An hour and half from Markham/Scarborough. It is really a house that backs on to a lake in a small town . We usually spend labour day here every summer . A great option if you are looking to get out of Toronto for the weekend. The lake had amazing Lily pads . Some photos from my cottage weekend:
I will most likely only have time for two sit down meals in Panama. After some research I have chosen these four in order of preference . Hopefully I get to experience at least some of it . 1. Maito ( Panama City ) – This is highlighted as the top restaurant in Panama. Definitely wouldn’t mind trying it . Reviews indicate a tasting menu is around $75 which seems to be reasonable for top restaurant in the country ….
