Buying individual stocks will tell you a lot about your personality and whether you can change to become a better investor. It sounds like you bought lspd because it is the hot tsx stock. Yes it has a lot going for it but it's also heavily overvalued which means the volatility comes with the territory. If you cannot handle volatility then you shouldn't be in individual stocks let alone ones that have greatest capability of going down the most potentially. Btw I have nothing but good things to say about LSPD and I am invested in it and just bought More at the $120 level on the dip. However for one you have to learn how to avoid chasing hot stocks and then blame everything else if it doesn't go your way. Second of all is you need to learn to tune out most of the noise and there will be plenty and it happens to all stocks. If you keep tuning in to all the noise you will end up selling either far to early or even worse at a loss because you believed certain reports. Granted there are times when the news will affect when you should sell but relatively rare assuming you have a solid business. Also timing the market is a fools game especially for a green investor. Always stay in the market and if you believe a crash is coming it's acceptable to hold 10-20% in cash but never go fully out because 95% of the time you will be wrong or or you are right but too slow or unable to react when a crash happens (hence your comment about not going back into market even though we had a huge crash in 2020) A lot of good advice. I don't use ETF's much so carry between 25-30 stocks in my portfolio. I do the valuation metrics to determine buy/sell points. I have my core stocks which I hold even if markets drop. I use dividends as the cash flow that allows me to buy. I view my core holdings as companies I would like to own a piece of for the long term. As you pointed out, governments have added so much liquidity to markets that volatility has become a useful tool. I bought GOOGL on sale the other day. Don't try to play momentum as you will lose in the long run. People have to realize that inflation is another government tool used to pay off their debt. Another tax. Realize that your investment has to return the rate of inflation +. Start keeping total return stats (TR) to measure how you are doing. Also keep an eye on your book value (BV) to make sure it isn't shrinking. If it is find out why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuckin_futz Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 This was a bit of a surprise........... Bank of Canada prematurely ends bond buying program in surprise decision. Loonie jumps Wed 27 Oct 2021 14:00:07 GMT Bank of Canada decision highlights October 27, 2021 Bank of Canada slows pace of QE to $0B/week vs $1B/week expected Prior pace of QE was $2 billion per week extraordinary forward guidance maintained Supply shortages are 'limiting the economy's productive capacity' Rates left at 0.25%, as expected Estimates output gap at -1.25% to -2.25% In the July MPR, the BOC estimated the output gap at -2.0-3.0% In July, BOC saw output gap closing in H2 2022, now sees it in the 'middle quarters' of 2022 Notes significant uncertainty around output gap Sees GDP this year up 5.1% this year and 4.3% in 2022 Q3 GDP seen at 5.5% vs +7.3% July forecast July Canada GDP estimate for 2021 6.0%, for 2022 4.6% CPI estimate at 3.4% this year and 3.4% in 2022 July Canada CPI estimate for 2021 3.0%, for 2022 2.4% US growth in 2021 seen at 5.6% vs 6.6% in July US growth seen at 3.9% in 2022 vs 5.1% in July Macklem will host a press conference shortly The Bank of Canada ends its QE program prematurely, tapering its purchases to $0 per month. It was widely expected to taper to $1B/week from $2B/week. The BOC will now only reinvest its existing balance sheet. USD/CAD has fallen to 1.2337 from 1.2430 in a flash. The CPI (inflation) forecast for 2022 to 3.4% from 2.4% is a big shift. That's well-above the BOC's target. This isn't exactly pushing back on expectations for four hikes in 2022 and it tees up a chance for the BOC to hike as soon as the March 2 or April 13 meeting. On the global growth side, the BOC now sees it at 6.5% from 6.9%. It was mostly downgrades but the outlook for the Eurozone improved: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think you'd be doing yourself a favour by doing that. The BOC is indicating they won't be running the printer at full speed any longer. Doesn't mean they won't remain accommodative but just not at the same rate. New Zealand already hiked from .25% to .5%. Earlier today the Brazilian Central Bank hiked from 6.25 to 7.5 and indicated another hike of the same magnitude can be expected at their next meeting.

Just looking at the BDC 12 year for a small loan to upgrade some equipment, the gov has a potential 50% non repayment if you qualify and 100k at 12 years at these rates with only a 50% repayment seems pretty damned choice At 1.5% or higher, not so much Edited October 28, 2021 by Warhippy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of debt Central Banks have plowed into since 2008 is completely unprecedented. They really cannot afford to pay 5% interest on those staggering amounts of debt and for the most part they control the interest rates. The one huge X factor is inflation. If it remains persistent, the only way to really break the back of inflation is by hiking rates. As we saw in the early 1980's. But given the Central Bank indebtedness and household indebtedness, 5% rates would absolutely ruin people. Getcha popcorn ready.

Meanwhile people like me who save their money get .25 percent on term deposits. When my mother was relying on interest from her savings to survive before she died interest rates were around 6 percent. Now she would be unable to live without eating into her hard earned savings.

I wonder what's going to happen to loan delinquency rates when everyone has to renew their mortgages in a higher rate environment. Felt so relieved when I locked in a 5-year fixed earlier this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishopshodan Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I still play with the one ETF, SOXL. Predictably bouncing up and down all year between low $30's and high $40's USD. Buy, sell, buy, sell, while leaving a bit in every time I sell. Working out nice for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
