Shownotes

Colin and Greg dive straight into WTI climbing back above ninety dollars a barrel. For anyone working in Calgary's energy sector, they ask a question most people never consider: how much of your financial life, salary, bonus, employer stock, even your house, is already tied to one industry.

They also revisit an old story about a client who refused to diversify because a dividend was covering his mortgage. It didn't end well.

A good reminder that knowing a company well and owning too much of it are two very different things.
