 In Summary-




Markets still very volatile especially Canadian Markets. The Canadian TSX was down sharply with Oil stocks taking big hits and also the banking sector taking a grubbing as well. My portfolio has mirrored the drop with it unfortunately. I am not worried though as this is what the markets do even though I am down $33,547.

I have been quite busy with some real estate deals lately and making a major play which is in the works. Doing so will force me to reanalyze my Reit positions and I will be more than likely getting rid of my margin Reit plays in the new year. My Margin Reit play was a big loser for me so far but whatever, no worries, thats business! Got to keep moving forward and making things happen. I am not 100% sure of my real estate plans just yet. Not sure if and when I will be moving but I have some options opening up for me in the near future

In the brewery startup news there has been a few set backs but nothing major. Still looking to start pouring beer in the spring with fingers crossed. With new businesses set backs are expected and I am not worried yet. Could be a couple years before I start seeing some capital back.

My father has been in and out of the hospital quite a bit with a bad heart and a quintuple bypass is needed. Its been stressing me out a bit and I haven't been as active as I would like with blogging lately. I am not worried about the dip in my net worth as their are more important things afoot lately.

Till the next update Good Day and Grind On!

  1. Ouch..sorry to see your net worth drop by $33K. The Canadian market is taking a toll on lots of portfolios. Hopefully things will stabilize soon.
    Also, sorry to hear that your father is having health concerns and needs surgery. Wishing him and the rest of the family the best.

    1. Thanks buddy for the words. These health problems have got my dads butt in gear thinking about end of life plans thankfully. Its a topic nobody likes but must be addressed.

  2. AG,

    My stepfather had the same surgery way back in 1996. The medical technology now is insane and while all surgeries have risk, heart bypass surgery is incredibly safe. As far as the portfolio goes, you have got the right attitude. There is always more money to be made (and lost).

    Hang in there buddy and I hope all goes well with your dad.

    1. thanks for droppin by. doesnt matter your net worth but your attitude , dedication and ability to adjust to new situations. too many people say shoulda woulda coulda and are too afraid to make moves in life. I rather fail in life rather than never taken a shot at it and just scrape by.

  6. How do you plan on tracking the brewery investment, just a book value? I don't think it changes month to month, am I right?

    1. They plan on doing quarterly evaluations and their should be a share value attached to it. Will probably be quarter 3 till I see an increase of share value I am guessing, but no dividends from them until somewhere in year 1-2 I am guessing.

  7. Sorry to hear about your dad, hope the best for him. The net worth loss should recover for you once the markets recover. Like you said, no need to worry.

  8. A-G,

    My best thoughts for your dad. I hope the surgery turns out well for him.

    In the meanwhile, great numbers again. You could have bad months like this for another year straight and still be sitting on an extremely impressive amount of wealth.

    Cheers!

    1. Never feel bad for a millionaire, lol or is it never fear bad for anyone that owns a plane which I do not. Yah up and down the markets go but it really doesnt change anything at these levels. All the best man for the holidays and good luck with the wifey!

  9. Hey Asset-Grinder,

    My heartfelt wish for the recovery of your father!

    Looking at your numbers, I always find it amazing of how big are the amount of your net worth fluctuations because you have such a high base. Your monthly increase/decrease is higher than my current total investment value, it really works as a motivation to keep working hard on this path.

    Thank you and once again, wishes of the best for your father!
