RE:RE:Vicario QuestionI'll repeat myself one more time: I first bought shares around 80 cents after they passed through a screen. You're giving me far too much credit. The stock didn't move to $2.50 or whatever the peak was solely because I went on BNN. You may recall that an AGF fund manager (name escapes me) also had them as a top pick as did a few others... and they came out with a string of excellent quarterly reports. I was first to feature them but wasn't the only one nor the last. As I also noted I sold on the way down (not the way up or after a BNN spot) as it broke through resistance that I had identified as a level below which I would sell. Last I checked doing your own research and having a selling discipline is a perfectly acceptable way to make investment decisions.
I earn a good living from my investment management business that I've built myself. We have solidly beat the markets and benchmarks and this is my focus. If you're interested feel free to visit www.hillsidewealth.ca. As I also noted in my previous post I operate in a HIGHLY regulated industry. I go on BNN to create awareness about how I manage money, attract clients and increase the value of our brand. As far as I'm aware we are one of the few investment management outfits in Canada who run concentrated portfolios of high ROE stocks. I'm proud of our work.
I realize that our industry is littered with unsavoury characters who give the rest of us a bad name. I think it's a crime people didn't go to jail after 2008. Chrony capitalism makes me ill. I'm a boring 41 year old PM living in Vancouver with three kids a wife and a dog. I ride an electric bike to work and play a lot of squash. I do live in a million dollar home but in Vancouver a dog house on a 33x120 lot is worth $1.4m! I've been managing client capital for 19 years and have a squeaky clean track record. I invite you to search my name on IIROC website (or any PM/advisor for that matter).
Happy Sunday.
