If Elon, on Oct 27th 2022, has invested his 44B$ in Facebook which was then $97.94 per share, the market value on March 27th at $202.84 per share would be 91B$

A 47B$ gain.

Not bad over 5 months.

Instead by his own (over?) valuation of Twitter yesterday at 20B$ - the social media platform he opted into has cost him 24B$

Although the delta is actually 71B$

What are you posting and where?

There is no private chat in a facebook forum.

You may be doing the wrong thing for the right reasons, but it’s still wrong – so maybe don’t invite an audience to witness it.

Should you be optimistic?

Yes.

Should you be a perpetual optimist?

No.

Be real.

Take real action.

Pay attention to the big picture, and all the small pictures the big one is composed of.

How do you respond to a client email that takes you to the woodshed?

CDN inflation, Silicone Valley Bank, A French Bank, and Saudi investors mean what to the next Bank Of Canada meeting?

They mean what to your clients (payments)?

Does market reality have to be your reality?
Do market averages reflect your averages?
Are you average?

No!
No!
No!

Fact; It's more work.
Fact; If you do the work, it will* pay off.

A nothing-burger with a something price tag!

FINTRAC is coming to the Mortgage Brokers world to ask us to do... a whole bunch of things any halfway competent Broker/Agent is already doing.

So ya, no news for most of you... other than more fees (most likley).

Brokers consistently overthink how easy it is to maintain a basic Excel sheet and type a few super simple emails per day.

Responses like this one, can truly make your day... just as a simple sentence from you can make another persons day!

In a nutshell, artificial integillence cannot replace emotional intelligence.


Are you a better authority than AI?
