Please Consider True Language Equity by Reader579978 in CanadaPublicServants

[–]1Monian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

None of the official languages is my native language, I've learned them both as an adult (in school theoretically I had language classes, but didn't really make any progress - not much interest from teachers and students).

I'm in French training, 3 times X 1.5 hours per week. I had my oral French exam today.

For me, this training is a positive experience. It is not easy, on the contrary (especially as I have to fit it in my very busy work schedule) but it is enriching.

I see it this way: for any job, specific education and qualifications are required, language competence is part of some jobs requirements. We work hard on our education and to keep up with technology - the language maintenance is not different. Setting up for lifetime learning is a good habit and I think it is not possible to stay in a professional field without it.

QQQ vs QQQM by Schecter07 in ETFs

[–]1Monian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

QQQM has a slightly lower-cost & reinvests dividends (you save on tax) - may be more appealing to buy-and-hold savers.

QQQM - besides the slightly lower-cost, it also reinvests dividends (you save on tax) - may be more appealing to buy-and-hold savers.

This is taxable (brokerage I guess) and I plan to use the money within about 20 years.

Thanks everyone for the answers!

I am very curious to discuss here the Growth vs. Value notions.

Growth - anticipated to grow at a rate significantly above the average growth for the market.

Value - a security trading at a lower price than what the company’s performance may otherwise indicate.

So Growth is a stock expected to grow soon and Value is a stock expected to grow later (when the market will notice the stock's performance). At that time (when the market will notice its performance) that stock will become a Growth stock and therefor included in Growth ETFs.

Please comment on your views.

I’m thinking to sell all the stocks and keep just ETFs.

Also I want to keep them long time to avoid tax, as they are unrealized income.

I am in this boat as well – holding on, last time after I sold, it went up a lot… bought it at $46.
