First, I did not ride the coattails of hot spec stocks like Tesla or EHang. While this portfolio has companies with stronger growth profiles than the TSP, they are not speculative.... Second, as an investor rather than a trader, I did not regularly buy and sell.

How I doubled my money in less than four years

Not quite as good as my son’s spec foray, but it was the whole portfolio — not one stock

By
How many investment avenues provide the opportunity to double your money in four years? Using the rule of 72, an 18 per cent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) can quickly be calculated. Lots of fun, with lots of exciting twists and turns including the 2018 mini-bear market and the COVID plunge of 2020. The Titanium […] Read more
My first experience at Annaheim, Sask., was with the rotary MF 8570. It was a good combine but the cab was not that tight. After a few days, I was plugged up with dust.

Herbicides and bioassays

A dry fall followed by a dry spring may leave much higher levels of residual herbicides

By
When you use a soil-persistent herbicide, there are many factors you must consider very seriously. The first thing you have to do is read the label that comes with the herbicide. It will tell you how to mix and apply, water source, what weeds are controlled and so on. Read it very carefully. Of course, […] Read more

A serious start on removing clutter

Aside from the CWB magnets, the next generation is probably taking it all to the dump anyway

By
A very important lesson and take-home message this month — don’t be afraid to throw away stuff you don’t need. Be ruthless. I am just thankful I don’t own a farm or even an acreage. After doing a pretty serious cleaning of my garage and basement earlier this spring and throwing out stuff (bordering on, […] Read more

Use a pilot vehicle to keep safe on the roads

By
A pilot vehicle can save a lot of frustration for both motorists and agricultural machinery operators.
