    AI for conservative investors
    In the minds of investors young and old, artificial intelligence (AI) is an investing theme or trend that seems to be right up there with the birth of the internet and the dot-com craze, or indeed the long-ago Industrial Revolution. But over the last 12 months, according to a recent webinar on the topic, market reaction to AI seems to have morphed from enthusiasm about an “unstoppable trend” to fear of the imminent bursting of an alleged “AI bubble.”Our old friends,

    Summer energy savings: How to stay cool without cranking the AC
    When the mercury begins to rise, Jeffrey Siegel sinks into a routine. Windows facing the east are covered in the morning before those in the west are shrouded in the afternoon, his fan gets switched on, more of his cooking moves to the barbecue, and a clothesline is brought out whenever there is laundry to dry. These summer habits help keep his house cool, delivering relief to the University of Toronto civil engineering professor—and his wallet.“On a day when I hear most of our

    Why are we so afraid of financial mistakes?
    Growing up, I heard one saying repeatedly: the early bird gets the worm. Like so many childhood proverbs, I accepted it without much thought—one of those quiet truths adults repeat often enough that children stop questioning them. For most of my life I assumed it was a lesson about hard work.

    You speak the language but do you speak the money?
    My wife and daughter say “tuh-MAY-to,” and I still say “tuh-MAH-to.” We have joked for years about whether my pronunciation would eventually win out, but living in North America, I suspect I never really stood a chance. Pronunciation, though, is not what fascinates me. Meaning does.What intrigues me is how we can all speak the same language, use exactly the same words, and still mean entirely different things by them. Words carry context, culture, and a whole set of quiet
