I live in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia–host of the 2010 Olympic Games. I have a Bachelors of Commerce Degree (Business) specializing in Urban Land Economics from the University of British Columbia and work as a Commercial Real Estate Appraiser. Over the years I have successfully completed all the requirements to become an investment adviser in Canada and also completed the options licensing courses for fun. I decided to take my career another way, but I am still very actively involved in personal finance. Throughout the years, I have tested many different trading strategies from Day-Trading to Long-Term Fundamental Analysis. Some of these strategies have been successful and some I would rather call great learning experiences with high tuition costs.
