    For the love of god Jim, do not keep this guy next year

     

    His hockey sense is 99% non existent. Kid can fly on the ice but he really lacks the hockey IQ to do anything consistent with his gifts. So completely frustrating.

     

    And to those saying he doesn't play enough, there's good reason

    I would walk away from this dude in the off-season. He clearly has a lot of raw skill but I don't think he's ever going to be the player he was hyped up to be

     

    Trade his rights or do a sign n' trade, but either way, the Canucks do NOT need Virtanen

     

    Such a frustrating player

    I sold 3/4 of my shares in Nikola earlier today for a profit of about 30k in about a month. Ari, you are a god.

     

    I'm still in with about 180 or so shares that I bought at 19 bucks US. I'll keep those on the chance that this might sky rocket even more. I do agree that it's ridiculously overvalued right now.

    Ari Gold...you son of a gun

     

    Ok, so I've been getting really risky the last little while. Made some adjustments with my TFSA and made the following 2 moves:

     

    Bought 700 Shares of VTIQ at $19.29 US (May 13)

     

    Bought 265 Shares of Square at 67.65 US (May 5)

     

    I've held on to both. If I jumped out right now, I'm at about a 21k profit in less than a bloody month (this is absolutely unheard of for me as I've typically kept things pretty tame except for when I decided to sink a lot into WWE a while ago)

     

    I have absolutely NO CLUE what I want to do with those two stocks. Do I take it and run, or do I stay the course. Suggestions folks, I need them

     

    Good luck to you all, and Ari, I legit owe you a bottle of wine

    The sketchy part was the gov’ts cover up. That is being known more, day by day. 
     

    Just remember that it doesn’t have anything to do with the actual citizens of China or anyone here that is of Chinese descent. 

    Agreed, I was referring strictly to the government. I mean, I barely trust any government, but theirs is certainly quite something.

    Makes one wonder whether the pandemic was a planned effort.. or a coincidence perhaps.. since it has gone so perfectly it seems from China's viewpoint..(hong kong situation, WHO influence, Global clout) the CPC does not care if some of their citizens die for the greater good.. let alone give a damn about other countries citizens.

    This whole rona situation reeks of sketchy BS coming from China. Every last bit of it.

     

    I don't trust that country one bit and nor should any other sane person

    Regarding my TFSA issue of hoping to jump on purchasing other stocks within it, here's my exact scenario:

     

    I'm at my max contribution ($69.5K)

     

    With VTIQ and a few other stocks in the TFSA account, I have gains as of right now (so my account is reasonably above the $69.5K as of this moment)

     

    Let's say for example I wanted to sell off some VTIQ (or something else), could I still purchase another stock (basically swapping in and out) and still be abiding by the TFSA rules?

     

    If I had contribution room, this is a moot point, I'd just purchase up to my max ceiling of 69.5k, but since I already maxed out, am I now relegated to waiting until next year to go in another 6k? I could obviously just purchase stocks through the margin account but who wants to pay tax on gains right.

     

    I mean, let's say VTIQ was losing a bunch of money, I'd obviously want to get out of that stock and move in to something different. One must think that TFSA accounts allow for this, so perhaps gains and losses don't affect the contribution room?

     

    Sorry for bringing this up a few times. I'm a confused soul

     

    Go Canucks Go!

    14th of May? Like on Thursday?

    Yup, May 14 @ 9am

     

    I want to get in on this RTTR business, but as a bit of a rookie to the investing scene, I have a question as it relates to TFSA's.

     

    I maxed out my TFSA and my gains put me over the limit (although I don't think that's an issue)

     

    If I wanted to sell one of my stocks in my TFSA and use that money towards RTTR, am I still able to do that in the TFSA even though it was previously maxed out? I'm having a hard time understanding the rules I've been reading online as it relates to withdrawls and buying new stocks when you've maxed out your contributions.

     

    Thanks gang!

    A quick follow up so it doesn't get lost in my last post.

     

    What is the best trading platform out there?

     

    Questrade? Qtrade? Wealth Simple? I was going to go with the TD Web Broker but that one dude on here seems like he's had a hell of a time dealing with them. I'm just looking for the simplest platform to use with reasonable fees (aren't we all)

    finally got my money moved into an account i can use it from. I feel like i missed out on RTTR and VTIQ though :( Not sure if i should buy in now or not

    Which platform are you using? I'm still probably one of the few on here still doing things through an advisor (it keeps me in check) but I am going to move some money into an account I can manage myself.

     

    And I too wonder about RTTR

     

    What says Ari and the other wise people on here? Worth buy into still?

    You're welcome good sir.. But I have something much much bigger then Square will be.

     

    I'm putting $15,000 on Monday on it. Do your DD on it but I'm thinking Tesla numbers in 5-10 years..

     

    VTIQ - Merge end of June.

     

     

    I just did what you intended to do today (I trust you after that Square recomendation)

     

    Let's go VTIQ!

    May see ?

     

    It's happening, and it's going to be big. I've been waiting for it, it's almost time to pounce.

     

    SQ has been calling my name for a while, I missed the boat at 47.9 because I was a chicken. Won't happen this time.

     

    I'm going to be dumping around 30K into the bank of the future. Below is one of the best articles about Square and it's very bright future.

     

    https://www.fool.com/investing/2019/11/14/where-will-square-be-in-10-years.aspx

    Good sir, I owe you a drink

     

    I put a significant amount of money into Square based on this post and reading that article along with several others.

     

    Bless your soul

    By FAR my favourite local media personality

     

    He was so damn entertaining and was able to stir the pot with facts to back him up

     

    Let's be honest. Canadian sports media can be pretty dull for the most part but this dude had some flare.

     

    RIP Botch you beauty

    For Benning's sake, this kid better turn out to be at least a half decent NHL player otherwise that's the legacy. Him over Tkachuk

     

    Right now, Tkachuk is among 10 players in the league that I'd build a team around right now.

    WWE and Disney are sending me to the keg tonight.

     

    A buddy told me a week ago about the disney announcement of their own streaming service and it was obviously going to be a big deal. Anyone else get into Disney before yesterday's announcement?

     

    I bought into WWE at $73 now it's over $95. I'm pretty sure it'll calm down but it's done well for me. I'm considering a sell off soon. Any fell wrassling investors?

     

    Both of these company take up a huge chunk of my portfolio. Invest in what you know they say
