We need to talk about death. Not ordinary, God-decreed-it death.

Planned death, as in Medical Assistance In Dying. Or MAID as we call it here in Canada.

I have seen three in my practise as an investment advisor in just the last year. That’s up from zero from just two years ago. It wasn’t a thing, but now it most definitely is a thing. A very meaningful, society-impacting, generational change thing.

You can’t throw a rock at the financial press this time of year without hitting an article about predictions for 2023. By the nature of predictions, almost all will be dead wrong.

I mean, the foremost futurist in 1970 predicted that the most popular vehicle in 1980 would be a flying car. Instead, it was the minivan! It was all about demographics - soccer moms needed space, not wings.

Predictions drum up attention, and the one correct guess will be promoted heavily a year later even if the other nine are completely wrong.
