It’s “goodwill toward all” season, right? So now is the time to get ready to be nice to yourself. I don’t know whether this trade war will end, or if impeachment will lead to something bigger, or whether President Trump will find a way to goose the stock market again next year to boost his […]

Gold had its worst day yesterday since 2016, so that was a little shock to the system — mostly, I think, because the latest leaks and Tweets about the China trade dispute were relatively optimistic, with meetings scheduled for next month. It’s hard to imagine we’re going to have a “real” trade deal before the […]

Fairfax India Holdings (FIH-U.TO, FFXDF) is a separate investment fund controlled (and about 1/3 owned) by Fairfax Financial (FFH.TO, FRFHF). For those unfamiliar, it was started because Fairfax wanted to put more into India, but felt there was a limit to what they could invest in that one country — so they launched a separate […]
