Reading Time: 4 Minutes What’s up guys! How’s everyone’s week been! December is here, can you believe it?! I know I can’t, was only just remarking to MrsFrugalSamurai that I don’t feel like I achieved anything at all this year. Then she not-so-subtlely reminded yours truly that we did GET MARRIED this year. Oh yeah…that. “It’s what happens when I’m with you babe, time just flies”, is what I was obviously thinking but didn’t quite say out loud. Hindsight eh? Which brings me to the topic of today’s post, Step 5 of a continuation on my friend’s Light Beam question: “How to survive a bear market” BTW have a read…

What to do in a Bear Market (Part 3)
Reading Time: 5 Minutes “Rrrrraaaaagghhhh!” “Oh help, run away, run away” (the villagers run away). But not Bob, Bob stayed. And then Bob got eaten. The end. ~~~ Whoa what an abrupt and sad story… hey speaking of! I knew a Bob once… he never got eaten by anything… but he was a builder come to think of it. “Rubs chin ruefully”. AHEM. ANYWAY the moral of the above story is if a hungry bear comes looking for food in your village – sometimes being a hero doesn’t work, because being a hero can make you someone’s lunch. This is especially true in the financial markets as well – yknow…

What to do in a Bear Market (Part 2)
Reading Time: 3 Minutes What’s up guys! How’s the week coming along? Bit of a rollercoaster so far for your truly, work’s been pretty brutal these last couple of days. Life. Is. Hard. But it’s harder if you don’t keep going right! Fight the good fight, it’s what we all must do. Speaking of the good fight, a quick congratulatory word for my friend Bugzy, who was married to the girl of his dreams this week. The one who he can finally “play the piano and stroke my baby’s hair”. I’m just happy that he’s found the one, because if you saw him just 2 years ago… sitting by himself…

What to do in a Bear Market (Part 1)
Reading Time: 5 Minutes (Voice on screen) “He turns, he shoots, he scores!!! GOOOOOAAAAAALLLLL”. “YEAH BABY!!!” A voice in front of the TV yells. It is a young man, his face flushed, his voice hoarse – the excitement and relief is palpable. Suddenly, the young man turns… Oh, hi there folks – excuse the outburst, been meaning to play some good ol fashioned FIFA for a while now. NEED a break OKAY, deserve it. Sigh, but since you’re here, I know what it is you’re after… the latest in The Frugal Samurai right? (Looks at the TV forlornly, where a soccer game is paused mid-way through the second half). No,…

Cannabis… The New Frontier?
Reading Time: 3 Minutes “WHEW!” The agent looks up, she is startled. “Sorry I’m late, but my name is TheFrugalSamurai and I’m here for the inspection…?” ~~~ That’s right folks! Been like a busy bee these last few days working on the next couple of real estate deals. Sadly between this and juggling full-time work, the blog has been put on the backburner a little bit – ARGH! Hate it when that happens but can’t be helped. We only have 24 hours in a day right! BUT finally have a spare couple of minutes to let everyone know that don’t worry – I’m still here, still very much alive, still…
