Over three years later, and my Worth Bonds are worthless. I reported back in August 2022 that Worthy Bonds were having liquidity problems. Last month I received the following email: Hi Joseph, As of February 2nd, 2026, after exhausting all available debt-recovery and asset sale efforts, Worthy Peer Capital has determined that no further funds remain for distribution to bondholders. As a result, any securities held in this offering should at this time be considered […]

On paper, nothing about the actual assets looks broken. But the deals are under stress. If […]
When I bought physical gold for the first time in 2024, it surprised some people — including myself who used to advocate Warren Buffett’s take on gold. Gold doesn’t generate income. It doesn’t compound. It doesn’t fit neatly into the discounted cash flow models I’d spent years studying. And yet, it felt inevitable.

So much for the February blahs. Canadian stocks delivered some February wows. We can add in international developed and international developing markets as well. The U.S. market stays in the basement where it resided in 2025. For the month, the TSX added 6.9%, marking its biggest monthly gain since November 2020.

Happy belated Valentines Day! It’s the end of February. We are two months into 2026. I feel like New Year’s was yesterday. Time truly does wait for no one. So you have to decide not only how you want to spend your time, but also your money. It’s the age old question: Do I live for today or save for tomorrow? We know most folks would rather splurge on experiences such as Beyonce or Taylor […]
There’s a quiet misconception about how to build passive income that refuses to die. That the people pulling it off are somehow different. Smarter. Earlier. Braver. Richer. Better positioned.
