@beehivebadboy Everything in NZ is about to get a whole lot more expensive when so many ppl come into the country. Look at the UK, Canada and Australia.

🚨 Fake Doctor in Auckland Hospital Exposes Massive Risk to New Zealand
For six months, Yuvaraj Krishnan treated patients at Middlemore Hospital using completely forged medical qualifications. He wasn’t caught by background checks — he was recognised by a colleague who knew him from years earlier, when he had already posed as a fake medical student at the University of Auckland.
This wasn’t a one-off. Sophisticated document fraud networks in India are mass-producing fake degrees, transcripts, and professional certificates for jobs and student visas abroad. From massive fake degree scandals involving tens of thousands of bogus qualifications, to migration agents specialising in forged documents — the problem is global and growing.
Now, with New Zealand’s new India FTA removing caps on Indian students and fast-tracking skilled workers, the risks are about to skyrocket. How many more unqualified “doctors”, nurses, and professionals are already here — and how many more are coming?
Read the full article exposing how weak verification systems, organised fraud, and open-door policies are creating a serious threat to patient safety and trust in New Zealand’s immigration system.

What do you think — is New Zealand prepared for this? Share your thoughts below.

@AllStreetsWolf No do this for companies. Which have done the most financings.

@MarkMcGrathCFP @altruafinancial If my job was to charge fees on peoples capital I would say the same thing. lol. Same reason real estate agents say buy or sell. Everyone wants to get paid
English

There are always payments, whether you rent or own.
Not a market timing decision at all.
I do believe, however, that as a 100% equity investor, I have a higher expected return on that capital by investing in index funds vs. owning a home.
Having 100% of our net worth liquid brings me incredible peace of mind as well.
And having that capital available to buy without it being subject to sale is an advantage.
This wasnt the driving factor in our decision but running this calculator also showed a significant benefit for us to renting, which boosted our confidence:

Talked to a business owner who's on track to do $3M this year.
He still works a full-time corporate job. Runs the business on the side with his brother handling day-to-day operations and has a team of about 10 people.
80% of his leads come from Google Business Profiles. No paid search and he doesn't have an agency doing his SEO. He just set up exact-match business names for each location, got reviews consistently, and built a decent website himself using an AI site builder.
That foundation alone got him to $3M in a competitive metro.
When I looked under the hood though, there's a clear ceiling. His website has almost no backlinks outside of social profiles and a few directories. He's ranking well in maps for his main keyword but barely shows up in organic search results at all. And when it comes to AI search like ChatGPT or Gemini, he's completely invisible.
He also has a massive opportunity he hadn't even thought about. His average ticket for one service line is around $6,500 but he has another service line where average tickets run $25K to $35K and occasionally go north of $200K.
He's been running all of it under the same profile when he could spin up a separate GBP specifically targeting that higher-ticket service and capture an entirely different pool of leads.
There's a version of this company doing $6M+ within 18 months with the right link building strategy, a multi-location GBP approach, and actual visibility in SERPs and AI search.
The foundation is already there (and very impressive for DIY SEO). Most businesses at his stage just don't know what the next unlock looks like.
Scrappy execution gets you further than 95% of the competition.
Knowing where to invest next is what gets you to that echelon

@ronmortgageguy @ManyBeenRinsed @ryangerritsen They cannt get finance jobs because the managers want Asian and Indian kids that will work 80hr weeks without complaining and saying they have to leave early to go to the cottage or skiing
English

@ManyBeenRinsed @ryangerritsen That's just fucking sick Assholes anonymously abuse people who just want to work
Canadians must wake the fuck up
People who are willing to work a repetitive job with lousy shifts at all times of the day & weekends
Young white Canadians never applied: they all want Finance jobs

25 years experience, university degree (top of my class), 2 post graduate designations, celebrated pillar of my former department, could do laps around the competition
But you know what - I don't want to work any more, and I'm not even 50
Fuck that I'm taking my ball and going home
The modern corporate environment is a humiliation ritual for white men now that we live in the brave new world of DEI and representation
I will not go into a place dominated by girl bosses, gays and indians/muslims and be subjected to that kind of slow decay and death, no amount of $ is worth it
You want to be so inclusive go ahead, shun the meritocracy system and punish the best performers who give their all so you can maintain the delusion your idiotic left wing commie ideology demands of you - i.e, that white men were "over-represented" in society b/c of racism, oh noooo it had nothing to do with merit mhmm ok
And don't get me started about the taxes here in Canada
FFS how do you expect me to want to give 40%+ of my income each year to pay into a system that fucks me over at every turn
I'm not going into a lobotomized day care for adults to pour my heart and soul into making someone else rich while being relentlessly force fed demoralizing ideology just to be a tax farm slave in a system that hates me
Wow man fuck this place

When I worked in corporate, I always looked to get laid off or fired.
Always.
In Ontario, Canada, severance/notice period under common law could amount to tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
It doesn’t matter how long you were employed, and it doesn’t matter how large the employer is.
I once helped a senior coworker with 30 years of tenure bag over $350,000+ instead of a faux gold watch for their retirement.
If I was a non-union employee and had a lot of tenure, I would never ever voluntarily quit, resign, change jobs, retire, stop coming in to work, or otherwise decide to leave myself.
Not only would I forfeit a potentially large severance package, but I may also disqualify myself from Employment Insurance benefits.
If I wanted to force a corporation to pay me severance, I had 5 different methods that always worked.
The easiest (but most expensive) method is to use an employment lawyer.
But what if I don’t have money for a lawyer? What do I do? No problem. Canada has me covered.
I visit the Law Society of Upper Canada website and use their Lawyer Referral Service (LRS), where I can find an employment lawyer to give me a 30-minute free consult.
Ignore anyone who quotes the Employment Standards Act (ESA) who is not an employment lawyer. They are wrong 100% of the time.
Talk to an employment lawyer.
The corporation will try to get you to sign away your rights and accept less, so make sure to sign nothing. Just take whatever document HR gives you and show it to your employment lawyer so they can throw it in the trash.
The win rate is so high that employment lawyers always took my case on contingency.
That means they don’t get paid unless they win. But when they win, they take a third of the winnings.
Too high? You don’t have money, remember?
If I can afford to pay, then of course it would be cheaper for me to pay. It’s a good deal either way.
If I was a non-union employee with a lot of tenure, I would never ever quit, resign, retire, take a new job, or stop coming to work.
I want my severance.
Education. Not advice. Consult your employment lawyer.

Read my latest article- “The mining business is miserable when supply is abundant and prices languish. But when the world really needs what you have—and can’t get it elsewhere—the rewards can be life-changing. Copper is at that inflection point” frankgiustra.com/posts/is-coppe…

NEW: Dutch Parliament Member Michel Hoogeveen explains how the 36% unrealized capital gains tax, just passed by the House of Representatives, will work.
Here is a more detailed example:
Step 1. Starting position
You own 500 shares.
Value on Jan 1, 2028: €50,000
Value on Jan 1, 2029: €100,000
So the paper gain is:
€100,000 − €50,000 = €50,000 unrealized profit
You did not sell. But for tax purposes, that €50,000 is treated as income.
Step 2. Apply exemption
You are married, so you get a €3,600 exemption.
€50,000 − €3,600 = €46,400 taxable amount
Tax rate: 36%
€46,400 × 36% = €16,704 tax bill
That bill is due in May, even though you never sold anything.
Step 3. Market falls before you pay
Now suppose by May the shares drop in value.
New total value: €60,000
So your portfolio is no longer worth €100,000. It’s worth €60,000.
But the tax bill is still €16,704, because it was calculated based on the January 1 valuation.
Step 4. You must sell shares to pay tax
To raise €16,704, you sell part of your shares.
After paying the tax, you’re left with:
€60,000 − €16,704 = €43,296
Originally you had 500 shares.
Now you have 360 shares left.
You were forced to sell 140 shares.
140 ÷ 500 = 28% of your shares gone.
Step 5. What happened economically?
Before the correction:
Paper gain was €50,000.
After the correction:
Portfolio is worth €60,000.
Original cost basis was €50,000.
Real gain is only €10,000.
But you paid €16,704 in tax.
So instead of being up €10,000, you are now:
€43,296 − €50,000 = €6,704 below your original starting value.
You turned a €10,000 real gain into a €6,704 net loss.
And you lost 28% of your shares permanently.

Chinese student in the US spent three years telling his parents he was studying finance.
Last Tuesday they accidentally saw his screen during a WeChat video call.

2,731 trades. Zero losses.
Hasn't graduated yet. Wallet is already active.

After being the best small/micro-cap fund in Canada in 2024 (according to eVestment) with a 92.8% return, the Rivemont MicroCap Fund had another excellent year in 2025, up 25.6%!
This increased our net return (after fees) since inception to 12.6% per year over 8 years.
Additionally, this has been achieved during one of the worst stretches of small-cap underperformance relative to large caps in history.
Our best investment in 2025 was D-BOX Technologies $DBO.TO $DBOXF with a 213% return on our average cost base.
Our worst investment was Covalon Technologies $COV.V $CVALF with a 46% decline.
We remain long both stocks.
We begin 2026 with several high-conviction names in the portfolio that have 20%+ revenue growth prospects and trade at less than 10 times forward earnings (a stark contrast to current large-cap valuations).
My DMs are open if you'd like to learn more about the fund or know how to invest.
I am very excited about what's in store this year. Let's go! 🔥

Canadian taxpayers have, for years, indirectly funded the #Khalistan movement in Canada through public grants, security programs, and cultural investments.
In 2007, Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty visited the Malton Gurdwara in Toronto, a site known for displays that include images of armed mil!tants and a photo of Talwinder Singh Parmar, linked to the Air India Flight 182 b0mbing. Afterward, the Ontario government allotted $750,000 in grants to several Gurdwaras: Malton received $100,000, Dixie Gurdwara $250,000 (later the subject of a lawsuit over missing revenues), and Rexdale $100,000, which later hosted Khalistan-linked meetings.
