I saw a couple of ladies over the years that were into investing. This made the visit more interesting to me although I didn't pick up any good ideas the conversation was interesting. The last one was a Korean that was into day-trading. Unfortunately, she moved on so perhaps she knew a thing or two about investing/gambling. Currently no contacts that check this box. Anyone else share this interest or have any suggestions?

I knew one provider who was seriously into real estate and who owned 2 properties in Vancouver and a four-plex in Edmonton. Very bright young woman. She retired shortly afterwards.

A while back, I met a semi-retired asian SP who was a UBC chemistry grad and she told me she bought a house near where I live. She rented a condo for her work. I think she is fully retired now.

Sure. However, I met one in London UK that urged me to buy London flats several decades ago. She is likely a multi-millionairess now.

Well i'm sure she made money but that was decades. I'm talking about in the USA where fast food workers would be flipping houses and condos on 0% down, super low rate mortgages and then the whole thing crashed.

If you bought in Vancouver decades ago you'd be a millionaire too but the housing market has stalled since covid.

The best over view I can suggest is reading all of the Berkshire Hathaway annual reports that were written by Warren Buffet.

I don't know if you are saying this but you probably don't want to use escorts for financial and investment advice! If they were financial wizards they probably would not be escorting. Not trying to put down escorts because the same goes with anyone you would meet - unless they are incredibly wealthy and earned that and continue to earn that through their financial and investment skills then you would be better off doing the opposite of what most people tell you. Also, this doesn't mean that since they are an escort, they aren't experts in many other different and interesting things

Actually, I have learned not to take investing advice from anyone but I enjoy discussions with others (a form of diversity). The point of my post was to identify SPs for such discussions :).

Some people see that career choice as a good option (no pun intended) to get a pool of capital. Others waste the money. Not looking for investment advice just some way of connecting through interesting topics of conversation.
