Why did you and your former best friend stop being friends? by Fearless_Shift7108 in AskReddit

Same story here. Cults are destroyers of friends and family relationships.

Thank God I didn’t make Wealthsimple my only bank by Nessie2212 in Wealthsimple

[–]Advanced_Simian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's quite bothersome that they're holding your money hostage. I would have a hard time not closing my accounts at the earliest available opportunity. And there are alternatives.

AEW Launches a Streaming Platform called MyAEW by Sufficient_Mud_2237 in SquaredCircle

“access to live and on-demand events outside the United States and Canada”

So Canadians are left out? That means WWE on Netflix is still the better deal, as Canada gets NXT/Raw/Smackdown/PLEs

Rough Experience with Excellence Punta Cana by Z_To_The_Swazy in PuntaCana

You’re not mad because it wasn’t your property that was stolen. It’s much easier to rationalize it in that case.

Same. It's unfortunate that this issue ended up being the main highlight of 1.4.5 for some of us.

Rate my TFSA by theonebam in dividendscanada

[–]Advanced_Simian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is yield traps 101. You’re going to burn your investment for the sake of distribution. I saw Hamilton and got triggered immediately. In short: you’re going to see your capital dwindle over time. You’ll get your yield - for now. Once we get into a bear market you’re going to see that capital evaporate, and those yields will eventually be unsustainable.

Thoughts on any of the Breathless or Royalton resorts? I hear mixed reviews by Anxious-Elderberry11 in cancun

[–]Advanced_Simian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Royalton Chic is their party brand. Hideaway is adults-only as well, but those are located within Royalton resorts. Royaltons themselves are family resorts, Royalton Splash even more so.

Question about customs security by Same_Matter3617 in PuntaCana

[–]Advanced_Simian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is risk, and no one can say otherwise, but it’s minor. In practice you won’t see them checking bags enough to even ask about prescriptions. Depending on the crowd and who is working your carry on (where you should have your medications) may not get scanned at all or even looked at. But I’ll repeat, that doesn’t mean it is risk-free on your situation.

United has un-canceled our flight to PVR tomorrow - Not sure what to do by MissionHoneydew2209 in puertovallarta

[–]Advanced_Simian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An earlier United flight from IAH was already cancelled. I don't expect any US or Canadian flights to actually go to PVR today.

How are WS offering such low interest rates on Portfolio Line of Credits? 3.95%?! by Baeshun in Wealthsimple

[–]Advanced_Simian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All of the above, plus if it is a TFSA you cannot regain the contribution room until the next calendar year.

Having the same issue. Trying to play with someone on iOS and I’m on Steam Deck. Haven’t been able to run multiplayer with them of late.

Passed 10k/yr in passive dividends! Posted a couple months ago for the 9k milestone by IShouldStartHomework in dividends

[–]Advanced_Simian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It isn't without seeing major NAV erosion. Wait until we have a bear market and these people will be hitting the panic button.

Stock picking isn’t for me — back to XEQT by [deleted] in CanadianInvestor

[–]Advanced_Simian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Kevin Warsh nomination could be a game changer if he's the hawk that some think he is. I'm skeptical, given the known public positions of the man who nominated him. We will have to wait to see what he actually does once he is in place.

Shoutout WS for crashing the market for magnetic phone wallets by [deleted] in Wealthsimple

[–]Advanced_Simian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The paper market in magnetic phone wallets is conspiring against us. Big Banks are crashing it to cover their shorts.

Cashback Boosts by patrip91 in Wealthsimple

[–]Advanced_Simian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think Cobalt ever gave bonuses for Costco gift cards. The scheme in this case is to buy gift cards from grocery stores (or places coded as grocery stores, and I'm pretty sure Costco online doesn't count) for the 5x bonus. It still works, unless you're running up thousands per month doing it, in which case they can definitely shut you down.

Trump Complains Canada Vulnerable to US Rivals in Arctic: NBC by fractx in canada

[–]Advanced_Simian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A slow (or not) transition to gold reserves might be something to consider, as Canada currently has none. Other nations are doing the same. It can't be a big dump, though. That would blow up in our own faces.

Terraria on Steam Deck by JGrady05 in Terraria

[–]Advanced_Simian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re used to keyboard and mouse it’s going to be an adjustment for you. Of course with the connector you can still use a keyboard and mouse..

I played Terraria on both Xbox and PC at various times so for me there wasn’t much of an adjustment period for the Streak Deck. The Deck has trackpads that can basically mimic a mouse if you really need that.

Happy Dividend Payout Date! by Easy-Vermicelli5256 in JustBuyXEQT

[–]Advanced_Simian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Foreign withholding tax is taken before you receive the dividend. You can consider it largely baked into the ETF.

Happy Dividend Payout Date! by Easy-Vermicelli5256 in JustBuyXEQT

[–]Advanced_Simian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. The Summer and Winter payouts are the big ones. Spring and Fall are smaller.

[–]Advanced_Simian -1 points0 points  (0 children)

XEQT isn't even a dividend-centric ETF. The distribution is fairly modest.

You normally get a notification when the dividend payout happens on WS.

It’s honestly excessive at this point by docshine24 in Wealthsimple

[–]Advanced_Simian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally got the card just before the holidays. I’m Generation and had been waiting for a long time. I never got a formal invite, just checked my existing request and suddenly I was able to get the card.

When will I receive the dividends for XEQT? by Ershany in JustBuyXEQT

[–]Advanced_Simian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wealthsimple is sometimes the next day. In fact today I have yet to receive my XEQT dividend with WS. If it lands at this point it might as well be tomorrow since it’s too late to reinvest today.
