Event Replay
What happened — and what it teaches
This replay transports you to Canada's national property market in the 1980s, a decade marked by economic transition and shifting interest rates. Starting in October 1981, you will navigate through 30 monthly bars spanning nearly eight years, watching an index rise from 23.61 to 46.05. The market presented six decision points, with two critical junctures that could significantly alter portfolio outcomes. What was at stake was understanding how to position during a sustained recovery while managing the psychological challenges of long-term investing.
The index climbed 95.0% over the period, a substantial recovery from the early 1980s downturn. However, the path was not linear—a maximum drawdown of 9.8% tested conviction, and the largest single monthly move of 10.0% demanded disciplined risk management. The replay captures the volatile nature of real estate cycles, showing how sharp reversals could easily shake even experienced investors from sound positions.
This scenario hones your ability to maintain strategic focus during extended recoveries while developing emotional control when facing inevitable pullbacks. You will practice sizing positions appropriately given the 9.8% drawdown risk, and build the discipline to stick with your thesis through volatility. The two critical decision points teach you to balance conviction with flexibility—knowing when to hold and when to adjust based on evolving market conditions rather than reacting to short-term fluctuations.
