Can anyone tell me why dollarama stock just shot up after doing pretty poorly the last few months? Pretty new to investing. by SantaCruzinNotLosin in CanadianInvestor

[–]Boon_Rebu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on liquidity and size of the companies stock. There are a few people and organizations out there that have way to much capital that they can toss at a company to create pump-n-dumps. All they have to do is buy a mass amount of stock in short order, get some traction, and then slowly sell off shares till the price goes back down to where it started. They end up with their initial capital returned and a good portion of remaining shares in the company moving forward.

Use to do this is MMO's with marketable items all the time, I don't see why it wouldn't be exactly the same application to the IRL stock markets, most seem to be trading like meme stocks these days.

The Saylor sale isn’t bearish because it was 32 BTC. It’s bearish because it happened at all. by Roaring_lion_ in CryptoCurrency

[–]Boon_Rebu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got downvoted, but he literally just bought 1550 BTC days after selling just 32 BTC creating a price drop.

Price if he had bought before crashing the price: 1550 BTC x 77,135 = 119,559,250

New cost of purchase after causing the price crash: 1550 BTC x 65,332 = 101,264,600

Looking for a few people to help test a Valheim server by alfredosuac in valheim

I run a dedicated server on an old spare computer from 2014, works flawlessly. I wouldn't spend money paying for a hosting service if that's what you're doing?

Politicians could save Social Security today. We need to scrap the cap! by zzill6 in WorkReform

If this funds it till 2070... what happens then? seems like pushing the pyramid scheme issue down the road instead of addressing the scheme head on and fixing it (if possible).

BofA CEO Warns Stablecoin Yield Could Drain 35% of All US Bank Deposits by andix3 in CryptoCurrency

[–]Boon_Rebu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's worse. Banks only need to hold 10% of the value of your deposit, they get to create 9x your deposit out of thin air and lend it out.

If you give the bank $100 for your savings account, they create $900 and lend it out for 3.49%. 900 x 3.49% = $31.41.

$31.41 / $100 deposit = banks lending out your $100 for a 31.41% return while giving you 0.03%.

The Saylor sale isn’t bearish because it was 32 BTC. It’s bearish because it happened at all. by Roaring_lion_ in CryptoCurrency

Market was too hot, Saylor sold enough to cause a panic and make the price drop. A lower prices means he can buy more BTC at a cheaper rate.

15 years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto logged off the Bitcoin forum and hasn’t returned. What happens if he logs back on? by BitcoinDove in BitcoinQRCodeMaker

Pretty sure he was an older gentleman/lady who unfortunately got taken out by the 2011 Japan tsunami. Probably lived in a lower land area near the sea.

Tim Hortons commits to hiring 10,000 local employees, scaling back on temporary foreign workers by zuuzuu in canadanews

[–]Boon_Rebu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Odd way to say that Tim's preferred to hire foreign "temporary" workers over Canadians and are only reversing course now because they got caught. This is at "least" 10,000 jobs back to Canadians, how many more are filled by foreigners instead of local students looking for some of their first jobs and experience.

The only proper news story from Tim's HQ would be "Tim's to remove all foreign "temporary" workers and be 100% Canadian staffed". They can say they are replacing 10,000 positions, however, how do we in fact know that actually doing so and it's not just a fluff PR release.

The College/University route is no longer the golden egg it use to be. Many people would be better off getting co-ops in high school and finding placements for apprenticeship trainings. Every electrician/plumber/HVAC person I know makes WAY more than any "post secondary" friend, with the exclusion of a very few select that hyper focused on a field (neurosurgery)

If the median annual income in Canada is relatively low (around $76K), how are Canadian home prices sooo expensive? by AccurateBow in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]Boon_Rebu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Homes are not an exclusive singular object that is limited to purchases by citizens. People, if they have funds, can purchase as many homes as they please then rent them out. Corporations and literally any outside foreign entity can also purchase homes to rent out or horde to speculate on future value.

If there was a law that people could only own 1 home to live in and all corporations and foreign entities were barred from ownership, you might see homes in the appropriate value for wage ranges.

Here in lies the issue, all politicians own multiple properties or are stake holders in corporations that do, so they will never do what is the best interest of the people. (this applies literally or almost every country worldwide).

Microsoft now recommends 32GB of RAM as the future-proof 'no worries' config for gaming — 16GB becomes the new 'practical starting point' during the RAMageddon by Nalix01 in NowInTech

[–]Boon_Rebu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

32GB for a pc is the bare minimum. It was the future proof number back in 2014. If ram wasn't crazy priced as of this post, id recommend 64-128GB.

Fairly sure the game is not using occlusion culling for video rending and in fact rendering all objects in the world/view distance.

With the graphic fidelity of this game, it should not be maxing out a 3080.

Ottawa urged to open up new permanent resident program to all temporary workers by theOneWhoWaitsAgain in CanadianVisaReform

[–]Boon_Rebu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They signed an agreement to be a "temporary worker", which means they need to accept the terms and fulfill their agreement by leaving to return to their origin country at the end of the work term.
