What would Warren Buffett do if he only had a million dollars to invest? That's what 20 students from Concordia University - including our intern Shaoyang Shen - asked him when they met him in November. The strategy that he suggests will no doubt come as a surprise to you… But in Mr. Buffet's case, it has proven its worth!

When asked what quality he looks for in people, the third-richest man in the world said integrity. Given that we're a few days away from Christmas, this answer seems to take on a particular meaning.

So, in all sincerity and shared joy, we extend our best wishes for a Happy Holiday season and a new year full of accomplishments and satisfaction.

Cheers and until next year!
