OK, so we're in the middle of it now...winter is clearly in full effect this year!
A few of us escaped for trips into the sunshine down south but as soon as you're back the warmth seems like a distant memory.
We discussed this at the Rock Star HQ last week and Mike Desormeaux decided the only way to break out of the winter freeze would be to...
...have TEQUILA shots!! LOL!
So we toasted to Winter and asked Spring to come early with some Tequila.
Let's hope this works, otherwise Mike has suggested we do daily Tequila shots until the warm sun returns!
OK, on to more serious matters...
We're announcing something at the end of this email.
We are doing this because we consider this time a pivotal point in all of our lives.
Massive trends are currently at work that will affect our ability to earn income, our savings, our investments, and perhaps where we choose to live.
No era in history has seen such monumental technological advancements affecting the economy at the exact moment an old credit system is showing signs of breaking.
The Big 4 Trends we're paying attention to are:
Our money has been debased at a rate of about 8.12% since 1973 (Canada's M2 Money Supply growth rate).
This means you have to outpace this just to maintain your lifestyle.
It's absolutely why so many people feel like they can't "get ahead" financially.
Energy will be in HUGE demand to power all the data centres popping up all over the world.
There just isn't enough energy right now. We should be clear, the energy exists, it just needs to be harnessed.
Artificial Intelligence is growing exponentially now.
The rate of change is now breathtaking and the new announcements are endless.
Computing horsepower is needed to pull all of this off. And it's in high demand.
Apple's Mac Minis are flying off the shelves ever since the autonomous agents came on the scene just two weeks ago.
(QUICK ASIDE: We're doing monthly AI Workshops for our Rock Star VIP group. We are thinking about opening up access to those beyond VIP...if you're interested in that you can let us know by emailing members@rockstarbrokerage.com)
Here's how we're playing these 4 Big Trends:

We believe if you have a rental property, some physical gold, some Bitcoin, and your own income stream outside of your career you'll be able to THRIVE though this.
Over the next few weeks we'll break down our thinking on each of these in more detail.
But if you don't want to wait for emails, we have an announcement for you...
We're bringing back our IN-PERSON Introduction to Real Estate Training Class.
We tested this out for the first time in 6 years last month and it was a great success.
So we're doing it again!
On Wednesday March 4, 2026 at 7:00pm in the Rock Star Offices you can come and join us live and in-person.
We'll tackle the real estate section from the image above.
You'll learn how we're working with investors in 2026, which properties generate the most cash flow with the least work, which areas of Ontario continue to get the most demand even in slow markets, what strategies are working for investors investors, what cash back incentives some municipalities offer investors, and how to maximize your real estate legacy through corporate structures and estate planning.
It's a lot.
And we'll cover it all in 90 minutes...it's a jam-packed class.
Then we'll stick around afterwards to answer your questions on real estate and anything else you'd like to chat about (gold, Bitcoin, small business building, etc).
Click here to learn more and save your spot.
Our training room has a maximum capacity, so don't wait, grab your seat right now.
We find that chatting in-person and sharing what we've learned over the last 20 years is much more effective than doing online Zoom training.
So if you'd like to take a step to living life on your terms, come join us on Wednesday March 4, 2026.
During these times we believe we can all help our communities and the people around us by sharing what we're thinking and what we've learned over the years.
And then you can decide what the best actions are for yourself and your family.
That's it for this week...
Hopefully we're not doing daily Tequila shots to combat this winter weather!
LOL!!
Tom & Nick
p.s. Yes, we cheered for Mitch Marner's big Canada goal yesterday even though he abandoned our beloved Leafs. We don't hold grudges (well, maybe hold a little one, not gonna lie! LOL!)
