It was a FANTASTIC January. Here in Canada the threat of tariffs caused quite the buzz. I watched the markets like a hawk hoping that the meltdown would cough up some excellent buys, but like the tariffs, nothing appeared. The politicians had a meltdown, as did the media, and quite a few of my friends and colleagues. I tried to draw attention to the fact that all these tactics were right out of Trump's book, but when people are determined to have a meltdown, its hard to dissuade them.
Last I heard (its hard to keep up with Trump pronouncements) the threatened Feb 1 tariffs have not been cancelled, merely delayed until March 1st. Amusingly, the anti-pipeline activists are suddenly proposing to build pipelines everywhere for the specific purpose of spiting Trump.
March 1 looms. The free entertainment is by no means over, and perhaps the Canadian markets will cough up some buys this time.
Yeah, I introduced you to the phrase "worry porn" I think :-)
Yes you get all credit for that, Robert. I absolutely love that phrase!

Unfortunately, I was so busy working during Covid I missed many of the opportunities.
I was able to buy CNQ under $29.
Yeah I picked up a few more shares also.
But Covid crash spoiled me. I was looking for under $20 :-)
