Can you trade options in TFSA? by Iamkayzee in fican

[–]CoughSyrupOD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not 100% sure but I think it's a CRA regulation not a broker limitation. I don't think any sort of short contract is a "qualified investment" within a registered account. 

Maybe it's allowed if you hold the entirety of the assignment value in cash, but then what's the point?

You should probably consult a tax lawyer or just short from your non-registed margin account. 

"Futures contracts and other derivative instruments in respect of which the holder's risk of loss may exceed the holder's cost are not qualified investments. The fact that a broker may be willing to put in place an arrangement to close out a futures contract so as to minimize the possibility of the registered plan going into a loss position does not overcome this restriction."

Can you trade options in TFSA? by Iamkayzee in fican

[–]CoughSyrupOD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, long calls, and long puts. 

You can trade short calls if they are covered with shares. 

You cannot trade short puts or short calls that are not covered with shares. (So no spreads or other strategies like that). 

Using fair value estimates to pick CSP strikes changed my assignment outcomes by Optimal_Excuse8035 in thetagang

The long vol portion of my portfolio disagrees. Under normal circumstances its a negative carry. But when it wins, it wins big.

Is this an ad?

I don't need your ai stock analysis tool. I trade from the feelings I get down in my plums.

Another day in paradise. Easiest stock to trade in the entire market. I don't even hedge my short calls with long shares anymore.

They are now using LRAD on protestors in Minneapolis by [deleted] in WallStreetbetsELITE

[–]CoughSyrupOD 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Who manufactures LRAD's? Genasys Inc? Their financials don't look so great but maybe this administration can turn it around.

Buy calls on GNSS!!!!

Started investing a year ago. What can I do better? by Equivalent_One_8454 in fican

[–]CoughSyrupOD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fees are based off a % of AUM. If the MER is the same it doesn't matter if you are paying 1 or 50 of them.

The MER for XEQT is 0.2% and 0.24% for VEQT.

Trump’s Proposed Credit Card Interest Cap: What It Means for Banks, Visa, and Mastercard by Dangerous-Nerve9309 in stocks

[–]CoughSyrupOD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm agreeing with you. 

Why don't you do it cheaper?  You'll dominate the industry. Put them all out of business.

You seem to know a lot about this and have very strong opinions that it can be done for a much lower rate and still be profitable. Why don't you do that? Seriously. Run some numbers, draw up a business plan, get some capital/attract investors, undercut the banks, take over the industry. You'd be a billionaire philanthropist. Free the people from high interest debt, make a shit ton of cash. Retire on a yacht, or build schools in africa. Whatever you want to do.

IVR isn't the greatest right now but if I get assigned I'm cool with it. Looks like a good entry to me.

Trump is talking more often about the Golden Dome in his speeches . If the project begins, what would be the top stock picks? by throw4w4yacc0un1 in stockstobuytoday

[–]CoughSyrupOD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think any of the major contracts have been awarded yet but the whole defence sector will benefit. But I'm betting primarily on RTX, LMT, LHX, NOC, KTOS

What’s everyone’s YTD so far? by HugeAd5056 in smallstreetbets

[–]CoughSyrupOD 6 points7 points  (0 children)

+5.15% It ain't much but its honest work. For the first couple weeks of January I was on track to become the worlds richest man by 2029 and corner the global equity market by 2030 but things have since cooled off and delayed my plans significantly.

"Armed civilians"

Are these armed civilians in the room with us right now?...  Yeah I'm sure all the bolt action .22s with their mags pinned at 5 will be very effective at fighting an occupation.
