In today’s uncertain economic and political environment, many people are understandably reluctant to invest. But Filmon believes that mindset prevents them from increasing their ownership stakes in great businesses and growing their wealth even faster.He points to the financial crises of a decade ago,which prompted many investors to sell their shares in rock-solid companies such as the Bank of Mon- treal, Tim Hortons, and CN Rail - locking in paper losses - because they got nervous when the stock market stumbled. “Panic ensued,” he recalls. “They sold and lost hundreds of thousands of dollars on a mil- lion-dollar investment.We believe if they had understood that the line-ups at Tim Hortons were just as long and getting longer, that the trains were still running on time every day, and that nothing had changed in the businesses they owned, far fewer people would have been scared and confused and sold out at a loss. And they would have had a wonderful experience when those companies went on to be- come worth a lot more money.”
