Dear Friends and Partners,
Wringing your hands over low oil prices? Fair enough. The tone of the media is certainly off to a gloomy start for 2015. It’s looking like we will have a good buyer’s window for Q2/Q3 as oil prices stay down. This is great news for long-term investors as well as those looking to strategically build up their portfolio; not such good news for sellers. You can hear Don Campbell’s take on oil prices here.
In a recent economic update Don Campbell joked about the tongue-in-cheek abbreviation emerging on social media:
F.W.F.A.Y.S. = Follow Wrong Feed And You're Screwed.
That speaks to the concern of getting bombarded with negative news and following the spiral of depressing messages downward. It’s crucial to remain informed and have a balanced opinion of what is going on.
Personally, I read and listen to people that deliver the facts in as much of an unbiased way as possible. I also tune into stations that ‘report’ more than they ‘spin’ media messages. Still, some days it's tough and you need to unplug and/or get a dose of something positive (Danielle likes Hayhouse) to counter balance.

Simons: In spite of lower oil prices, Edmonton economy still chugging along
By Paula Simons, Edmonton Journal, January 10th., 2015
“The cyclical collapse of oil prices is as predictable as death. We all know we are going to die. The only surprise is when.”
— Former Alberta finance minister Ted Morton in the Globe and Mail.
EDMONTON - Through Edmonton, a cold wind is blowing.
Not the kind Environment Canada predicts. This is the kind of wind chill forecast that gives people the financial shivers.
Oil prices have plummeted to $48 a barrel. The provincial government has changed its budget projections from a $1.5-billion surplus to a $500-million deficit. Oil producers are starting to talk about layoffs.
It’s the most serious fiscal circumstance we’ve seen in a generation in this province,” Jim Prentice said Thursday. FOLLOW THIS ARTICLE

Alberta cannot just sit and wait for the next oil boom
By Andrew Leach, Globe and Mail, January 23rd, 2015
That Alberta is dependent on its resource sector is hardly news – the province has long relied on both the economic activity and the direct revenue from royalties and land sales to underpin government budgets.
However, to listen to many opining on Alberta’s finances and offering solutions to our fiscal “crisis,” you’d think that Alberta was more dependent on resources than it has ever been – and that’s not at all the case.
Alberta’s government revenue story is best summed up by three words: growing; cyclical and diversification. For that story to continue, however, Alberta is going to have to do a lot more than pray for another oil boom to come along. GRAB THIS STORY

Will oil’s big drop pop Canada’s housing bubble?
By Megan McArdle, Bloomberg News, January 27th, 2015
If you watch any amount of HGTV — which is to say, if you are a middle-aged married person — then you’ve probably noticed something funny: A lot of the people on shows such as “Property Brothers” seem to have Canadian accents. And you’ve probably noticed something else a bit funny:
Those people are paying a heck of a lot for claustrophobic row houses on so-so streets. READ MORE HERE
