Diamonds, Diamonds, Turkies, Bloggers Meeting and Friday #Shoutouts


There’s nothing like the week before a LONG weekend to get things rolling nicely. Yes, it is Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend, and the traditional Turkey dinner and watching a bunch of CFL games on Monday, which has accompanied previous Thanksgiving days in my family.

The NCFBA had another fine meeting, and we even had a new visitor, Kanwal, from Simply Investing, who we hopefully didn’t scare off. There was a lively discussion at the end of our meeting about Hedging your investments against currency fluctuations. That I was completely confused by in the first 2 minutes (Larry M., Canadian Capitalist and Michael James had a lively sharing of opinions on that), I believe the conclusion I got was that one of those chaps will be writing a post about this (hopefully in terms that the common folk like me can understand).

The NCFBA members all commented on my Costco Jewelry post, I always feel good when my peers notice something I have written (even if it is a fun post like that). Still haven’t found anyone who has bought one of the rings, I’d be curious to hear from anyone who has, and whether they were happy with their purchase.

Weekly Recap

Hopefully, Ottawa will not be bombed with turkeys this weekend (look that up on Google with WKRP in the search, you should find one of my favourite TV scenes ever):

And thanks to those who added me on Twitter.

Plenty of debates down south (why does Mitt Romney hate Big Bird), but no hockey likely up in Canada for a good long while (at least at the NHL level), but not many turkeys in this lot as well:

  1. That’s nice to be able to get together with other bloggers every once in a while. Tom came down to see me once…but he hasn’t been back.

    Enjoy your Thanksgiving weekend!

  2. BCM, thx for the link. The only reason you will not be worrying about a Hotchpot clause is your retirment lifestyle will be so extravagant 🙂

    Lucky I get to watch a real hockey team now, the Marlies. Happy Thanksgiving
