The latest Steadyhand T-shirt minces no words. In bold white letters on a black shirt are the words Scott came up with to describe our philosophy around stock investing – concentrate dammit!

We’ve had lots of interesting reaction to the shirt, but the best comes from Winnipeg. Lori and I gave everyone in the family (who we thought might wear it) a shirt for Christmas, including our nephew Branton. Brant is in grade 11 at a private school, which requires that he wear a jacket and tie four days a week. On Fridays, he can be himself.

A couple of Fridays ago, Branton was wearing his Steadyhand t-shirt when he was abruptly pulled out of class and sent to the Vice Principal’s office. Contrary to what you’re thinking, it wasn’t because he was wearing an offensive shirt, but rather because he’d had 4 minor infractions in less than a month. He was being reprimanded for leaving the top button of his shirt undone (twice), chewing gum in class and forgetting an assignment at home.

But Steadyhand did fit into the story. As Branton was getting up to go back to class, the Vice Principal looked at him and said, “Nice shirt”.
