Wealth Through Investing

Paddleboard in fog

Welcome to Wealth Through Investing

When I got back into investing, I was overwhelmed by the amount of information and the number of companies to invest in. What should I invest in? How much money should I invest? How do I get started? What are the Canadian equivalents of American saving accounts that everyone talks about? There was so much to learn it often felt like being in a fog. I knew where I wanted to go but didn’t know how to get there.

If you find yourself asking these questions, you’ve come to the right place, especially if you are a Canadian investor just starting out. Follow along with my real life investing adventures as I make my way through the investing wilderness to generate the wealth to reach my goals, all through a Canadian lens. Even if you are not a Canadian investor, but are starting your own investing adventure, you might learn from my triumphs and avoid the stumbles I’ve made along the way.

Weekly Update for the week ending May 8, 2026

Earnings season is giving investors a fresh look under the hood of the companies driving the markets. With roughly 20 holdings across my three portfolios reporting results this past week alone, the focus has shifted from headlines to fundamentals. Strong reports from major technology companies like NASD:AAPL continue lifting both individual stocks and the broader market, while weaker guidance can quickly shift sentiment the other way. This week’s commentary looks at what earnings reports really tell investors, what I focus on when analyzing them, and how the latest results helped shape the markets this week.
