The market is up, but it’s all theatre: Don’t let The Fed’s buying suck you in
Trust me, there’s nothing I’d like more, as the publisher of a financial markets-focused media outlet, than to tell you all it’s time to buy back in on these ailing markets. I’ve got clients who’d reward me well if I were to convince you that it’d be a good idea to buy their stock in…

Update: Fisticuffs at Hollyburn as high society calls out Bridgemark pair
The Father Daughter Dance at West Vancouver country club Hollyburn is usually a fairly tame affair, where the city’s well-to-do dress up, eat steak, and dance with their little girls in a tony family friendly setting where everyone is home by bed time.
