No dip####, you don't know what the strategy pattern is.
As for doctors, seek a second opinion. Or a third opinion. I realize that can be difficult in the Canadian system.
Hey did you know in BC, naturopaths can write prescriptions?

Nah, this is just wrong. I know that everyone (particularly engineers) wants investment decision-making to be a science. They think we should just do some calculations and get to some nice, neat number at the end of it, and there is your investment decision. That's just not how it works at all. It
might look good on paper, but in practice, it doesn't work that way.
And, I don't think that investing is peculiar in that sense. There are a lot of things that might seem like there are hard and fast rules, but in practice, those "rules and laws" are somewhat tenuous.
