The Three-Legged Stool of Wealth with Dennis Wong

Nov 24, 2025 | Calgary Real Estate Investing Blog

This month’s Calgary REI Hub meetup was all about how real estate investors can use the stock market as a second engine for long-term wealth.

Dennis Wong, a professional engineer turned full-time investor, breaks down his “three-legged stool of wealth”

– Capital generation (your job or business)
– Capital growth (stocks and public equity)
– Capital preservation (real estate and hard assets).

Instead of “playing the stock market,” Dennis talks about how to think like a business owner, not a trader. He explains value investing in plain language, compares underwriting a stock to underwriting a rental, and uses a simple $20 bill demo to explain margin of safety and why price and value are not the same thing.
