I also (in the last year) got into the two chou funds, seduced by gordon papes recommendation and of course the returns over two decades. And I’m having a Homer D’oh moment when i see the dolar rise and the share price fall. With the Associattes fund I can understand and see the Berkshire holdings etc. But of course when I examine the rrsp fund holdings I see better but am still surprised when I see the tsx soar yet the fund is unaffected. I’m just surprised that the rrsp fund really has no connection to the index but I did buy it for diversification from other holdings so I’ll stop bitching.

Don, I congratulate you for being a Chou RRSP fund holder.

This is not the first time when Chou RRSP trails the TSX. Remember the dot-com era?

You said it well. Buy Chou RRSP for the diversification. It doesn’t track the TSX because it’s not a closet index fund. Ignoring the TSX for a moment, Chou RRSP has done quite well over the past 2 years.

Ready to run, business solution.

Developed multiple arbitrages for the financial markets. Arbitrages that produce just a few percent a year, to arbitrages that produce over 30 percent a year.

In 2001 i started developing, as of now, a dozen arbitrages. I lock in an X percentage, and Y time later, i close out the arbitrage. Over 30%/yr.

Risk-Free Investing is not only possible, but in abundance. Just that people are told and taught that it is impossible. No risk has been in front of all, but not seen.

The market is unlimited.
