Qube Commentary (Q4)

15 January 2023

It’s Time to Share My Secret

Qube Commentary (Q2)

20 July 2022

The Missing Bubble

Often, we find ourselves in conversations (some lasting nearly two decades) about this housing bubble in Canada. But if we all believe there is a bubble, and that it will inevitably pop, then why do people keep buying into real estate? Surely our belief in this bubble creates a self-fulfilling prophecy. By trying to exit before the crash, we become the crash, like lemmings to a cliff.

Time to Celebrate Uncertainty Again?

2020 is now behind us. It is fair to assume that you are eagerly anticipating less complicated times with less uncertainty. Permit us to challenge you to reconsider.

Qube Commentary (Q2)

10 July 2020

Matter of Perspective

It would be a gross understatement to state that the past six months have been “crazy”. Thinking on this has caused us to ask ourselves, “Are we condemned to repeat the past?”

Qube Commentary (Q4)

18 January 2020

Elections and Markets

As the election season heats up, investors should think twice about making changes to their portfolios purely in response to polling results.

QUBE Hunts for Treasure

I left him a voicemail telling him that, despite what they said in court, I thought he was a hero and wanted to make him the lead story in our next research commentary.

Qube Quarterly (Q4)

KALEO Manifesto 2019

Perhaps it’s always been thus, but as 2018 came to a close, it was hard to shake the feeling that the world today is in a precarious spot.
