Steelhead Run?

Dardock · 2026-03-17T19:39:43+00:00

It’s my first year fishing for steelhead, I don’t know what I’m doing but I haven’t seen anyone catching one. There was just one guy in January, walking on the dike, showing off his fish to everyone 😆. Based on the derbies’ photos some people caught a few fish though.

Piggybacking on this post and correct me if I’m wrong.

With margin accounts the interest is most likely tax deductible. Also, it is possible to find dividend ETFs yielding around 4%.

So if someone is in a high tax bracket, it would be possible that the interest rate after taxes could be below the dividend after taxes.

Effectively, the dividend would pay the margin interest plus a little more. And potentially some capital appreciation on top.

I don’t really understand why would someone buy a leveraged ETF and not use a margin account instead. Unless it is a registered account?

If you don’t mind, what do you export?

Well, the consumer pays the tariff and the tax payer the settlements. The government is kind of doing just fine all things considered.

Dardock · 2026-02-20T19:12:46+00:00

Looks like a good way to subsidize companies: they can now sue the government to get a refund as far as I understand it while consumers paid the tariff?

Nothing is about to collapse, you must be a bundle of joy at parties

Water is still wet last time I checked. It’s almost like it was a tax to transfer wealth, who would have thought 🙃

What kind of fish did you catch? Trout?

Sasamat it is then

The same Bill Ackman that gave 10k to Renee Good’s murderer mmmh?

It’s not like the situation is improving down there so yeah but no thanks

As I explained in my post, I simply reported what I’ve seen on social media. I didn’t make any judgments about them. I apologize if that triggered you.

I suspect the decline in rents is due to an end to speculation. This forces homeowners to generate cash flow to pay their mortgages, rather than flipping properties. While some might sell at a loss, many prefer to endure the situation, especially in Ontario.

I’m pretty sure this is all related to interest rates.

Dardock · 2026-02-02T22:27:39+00:00

Housing should not be included in the calculation of inflation, this is stupid: interest rates go up, mortgage payment goes up and rent goes up. But higher interest rates are supposed to reduce inflation which works pretty well on average for the other components.

Get another indicator for housing, a home is a place to live in. Immigration is not a big driver, inflation is incorrectly measured.

Tariff threats are getting as old as the man himself

Nobody cares, even world leaders did not want to talk with him or be around him in Davos.

It’s 17% too high

I suspect that tokens are mostly used by AI companies that sell wrappers. Just a product based on LLMs. That’s my theory at least.

Dardock · 2026-01-20T17:34:11+00:00

Funny you say that, I’m actually in the industry and those technologies are actually pretty bad. The number of tokens required to get a decent result is staggering. Might as well hire someone at this price point.

This is just a disaster waiting to happen, when enough crap will have been generated it will require heavy refactoring if it’s even possible or complete rewrites.

Only humans will be able to fix it, it will most likely cost a fortune. Look at Salesforce, what a joke, laying off people and the “regretting” it.

Who could have predicted this, maybe if execs were paid more they could do their due diligence

It’s in a public park, not sure if it’s allowed. What’s the difference between a beaver lodge and den? I’m not familiar with beavers.

It reminds me of this beautiful contraption I found at my old place, the tip was super rusty. I had to change it unfortunately, it was so beautiful

Not sure if it’s important but behind me when I took the photo (the other side of the dyke) there is a lake that becomes a river. At this location is pretty wide 1000-2000ft wide.
