In this episode, the Mechanic, the Accountant, and the Economist sample a couple of beers and discuss how they have decided to invest within the limitations of the Canadian investment system. If you found this podcast you’re probably familiar with the FI/RE movement that has grown in popularity recently. Here at the FI Garage, we’re all on the path to FI, however, we consider the RE part optional.

Do you guys think that tradetrons.tech is a worthy concept to discuss in one of your podcasts?
I had a quick look at it. Definitely interesting, I think there are lots of traders out there that eat this stuff up. Would you be a builder of strategies, or a buyer? I’ll try and remember to mention it on a show. Could be a side-hustle for someone who really loves digging into Quants and Algos. Cheers MM
