Merry Christmas,

Holiday season and going to Bali tomorrow, so a short one today.

What a year it’s been - up 17% for SP500 and 27% for Canada.

This following 26% in 2024 and 25% in 2023.

Congratulations to all - but while you gain a couple pounds this holiday - don’t get complacent, and never forget that getting anywhere great inevitably encounters set backs.

It’s what you do during those challenges that separates the women from the girls, the men from the boys, and the lions from the gazelles.

And as we ring in the new year, investing, money, relationships are about all the little good things we do that stack up over time.

Keep doing what you are doing.

Thank you for being here and for reading along.

Eddie, back to regular programming next week - maybe 😎
