Weekend Reading - October 19, 2014

 

As the weekend is coming to an end, it is time to share some of the posts I read over the last week that some of your readers might find interesting.

Dividend Mantra recently published a post titled Create Your Own Miniature Berkshire Hathaway. Berkshire Hathaway is the investment holding company that is run by Warren Buffett as CEO and business partner Charlie Munger.  Dividend Mantra currently has partial ownership in over 50 companies through the stock market.

Liquid Independence, over at Freedom Thirty Five Blog recently published a post about averaging down his position in Avigilon Corporation during the recent market pull back.

Mark, over at My Own Advisor, posted about it catching up with Canada's "youngest retiree" Derek Foster. Derek Foster left the rat race at the age of 34. A lot of people say Derek is not retired because he writes books and does speaker engagements.  He is financially free and can choose to write books, do speaking engagements, or do whatever he wants with his time. That is what we are all after in the long run in having the CHOICE to do what we want with our time.

Susan posted a two part post about Canadian Railway, which you can read about here and here.

Aileron recently posted a video on his You Tube page titled, "It's Never Enough of a Good Fight".  Aileron discusses why he loves the capital markets and the challenge of why things happen in the markets. Please note that Aileron is a dividend investor and trader.
