I have done a lot of research on the realities of stock investing over the past seven years, have learned lots of exciting stuff and am always looking for new places to share what I have learned and to learn more by talking things over with others. The rules at the Canadian Money Forum are very strong on the question of abusive posting. I took that as a big plus as I have seen that this has become a big problem at many investing boards during the Passive Investing Era.

There have been numerous articles in the press in recent months speculating on why it is that we recently experienced one of the biggest stock crashes in history. I think it would be fair to say that those who have experienced this kind of thing up close and personal don’t find it nearly so shocking as those who have not.
