Hello Everyone,

We're midway through the summer now and I hope you've already done, or at least planned, some memorable things for this summer, because you'll be waiting for another year if you miss it now. As for me, I've been enjoying the summer through tennis, cycling, BBQing, a wonderful trip to Europe, and another one to Penticton. It's a great time of the year.

One of our articles this month delivers a message from experts on aging. They tell us that we have more control than we think about aging. We can’t change the fact that we age, but we can influence how we age and our attitude towards the process. You can read this interesting piece below.

On the investment front, we've experienced more volatility this year, which was mostly absent during 2017. Volatility is a natural part of investing, but it is unpredictable. This means market corrections and bear markets are also unpredictable. We are now 10 years into a bull market and many sense that a bear market may come anytime now. However, we subscribe to Evidence Based Investing principles which tells us to ignore volatility and simply stick to our investing objectives. Click here to read an article from Forbes on why this is the best approach.

Have a terrific 2nd half of summer!

Sincerely,
Chad
