Its not as if Ottawa doesn't get their tax take one way or the other. I agree that a unified approach hasn't existed for decades. We will disagree but my conclusion is that this failure will led to a break up of the country. we do disagree on that, as more time passes there are fewer people that really see AB separation as a viable option. Heck right now Notely has a statistical chance of winning again. I don't know how we can fix our federation to remove the useless barriers we put in our own way. We don't have the kind of leadership needed for that even if the idea was out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest you employ the 3 day rule. And not touch something that has mega puked for 3 days until the dust settles and the levels reveals themselves. I did but I averaged down and got a $505 average on 35 shares. I missed the $463 bottom but still doing well, today's a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.Am.Ironman Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) So the lady and I have some money to invest with an approximate 1 year horizon. We have around 50k to deploy which will max out our TFSA and the investment will be in our TFSA investment accounts. We plan to use the money for a down payment sometime in the next 12-18 months. I have some long term plays that are more on the moderate-risky side in the short term but for the down payment money I want it to be relatively low risk to protect the capital but still earn something off of it until we are ready. My list is as follows with allocation percentages yet to be finalized: ZWU (covered call utilities, MER 0.7%, Dividend 7.5%), ZWB or individual bank stocks (RBC, NA, TD), ZPAY (premium yeield ETF, US treasury bills + covered call on blue chips, MER 0.7%, Dividend 6.1%), VBAL (vanguard 60:40 equity:fixed income split) or a split between VOO (sp500)/DIA (dow) + more allocation to ZPAY, banks, ZWU. VBAL has more exposure to emerging markets, Europe and Canada (still ~50% US markets), so it's whether or not I want to bet more heavily on a USA rebound relative to rest of world. Basically my goals are to have something relatively steady and collect dividend payments until we need the money. Looking forward to the thoughts of others.

You might look at HHL which is a covered call ETF on health stocks. Good yield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds impressive but that works out to about $13,000 per Canadian. I like to yardstick us against other countries with economies based on resources. The gold medal winner is Norway IMHO. Norway has $1.36 Trillion in their fund or $250,500 per citizen. While Norway has diversified their sovereign wealth fund the core funding came from North Sea oil. This is why I have always supported the full exploitation of oil and gas reserves in Canada. I consider it a national security priority. Alberta saw that dream sail away with their hatred of the NEP and Trudeau in the 80s mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reddit dicks don't move 700 million shares, Wall Street does. If those dorks want to take credit and take a victory lap let them. AMC most likely continues squeezing until tomorrow's options expiry.

Tortorella's Rant Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 ReviewTechUSA on Youtube back in February bought a bunch of shares at $12 and broadcasted that information live. I don't know how long he kept them but with a following of 980,000, passing along this "pseudo investing" advice along only encourages this crap, GME, and so forth.
