Additional Information

While I have only included jobs I have had that I think are relevant to this position in my resume, I do have broad experience with with a variety of jobs. Those that remain un listed would be self employment firstly, when I started and ran a raw organic pet food service in the early 2000's. Many labor jobs in my youth included working in the Salmon Canneries (Gold Seal) and packer boats on the BC Coast to delivering pizzas to cooking at a Buddhist Retreat Center on Salt Spring Island and building guitars. I built once built my own guitars and worked in a factory carving necks. While raising my kids, I dedicated my education, experience and a good number of years to homeschooling my kids.

Most recently, I taught myself how to Day trade and still look at small cap stocks every morning. However, over the course of the COVID era there have been some very difficult periods of mania culminating in extremely long periods of complete flatlines in the market volatility that have indicated something fundamental may have changed. In addition, due to the introduction of AI trading algorithms, the ability to predict the market has become difficult. There are some who wonder and I include myself here as to whether the Small Cap market might not just disappear altogether at some point.
