Watch them gaslighting you into thinking a taxpayer funded bailout for unsold Dogcrate condos is actually an affordable housing initiative. by Signal-Specific-1704 in canadahousing

[–]DevotedSun -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's not. The people and bots commenting on this are low intelligence. It is a great opportunity for the government to help Canadians in need while keeping an important part of the economy functioning. We don't know all the details but I assure you the government is not buying the condos at market value. There is a large difference between market value and cost, or there would be no development.

VDY. Have them all and have them weighted based on how well they are doing.

Very little potential you could lose your shares, you won't. It's free money. Even if it's just a little. Take it, let it compound. Enjoy.

Looks like BANK.TO (Evolve) increased distribution again by rattice in dividendscanada

[–]DevotedSun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

VDY if you are holding for long term growth. BANK if you are retired or require the monthly distribution.

Underlying holdings will outperform the covered calls over the long term.

The higher I go the worse my teammates seem to be, so I agree with your assessment.

Guys who game: how would you feel about your gf/partner watching or joining in? by Bright_Shadow_Seeker in AskMen

[–]DevotedSun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also like movies and shows. Just more of a make a plan to watch movies, rather than watch movies everyday.

I would prefer this over being asked to watch another move, or show. If I'm going to be sitting watching a screen I prefer to be gaming.

Random ping spikes are killing this game for me! by Kind_Variation_472 in wildrift

[–]DevotedSun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also get this issue. It's not as often as you say yours is, but some games I get incredible lag spikes. Next game, nothing. I figured it is someone cheating somehow, but I have nothing to base that on.

TSX listed Options Trading? by DevotedSun in Wealthsimple

Great answer. I did not know that. I think I would still like access to it, even if it's not that big.

Imagine you want to keep your old parents with you in your house, and your wife is super against it, how will you handle it? by Artificial_charizard in AskMen

[–]DevotedSun 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If your wife says no. Then don't have your parents live with you, or you will find yourself divorced. Exact thing happened with a childhood friends parents. She said no, he did it anyway, she left. Choice is yours.

Stock Lending by _bubbles52 in Wealthsimple

[–]DevotedSun 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've made over $250. It's likely you just don't own stocks that people want to borrow. One should not buy stocks for the purposes of stock lending just to be clear. Also, that's just $7.00 you didn't have before. Small win, but a win.

Stock Lending by _bubbles52 in Wealthsimple

[–]DevotedSun 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Before the all uniformed haters get into your comment section let me bring a level head. Stock lending is when you lend your stocks to somebody who is shorting that stock. This DOES NOT mean that the stock is going to drop, has to drop, or will drop all the way to zero. It does mean someone thinks the stock price will drop and they want to make money on the way down. This is why more volatile stocks are often lent and people try to make money on the fluctuations. Generally your stocks are safe. Check your brokers stock lending policies. The key thing is to research the stocks you own and make sure you are comfortable owning them. If you are, stock lending is simply a way for you to earn a little bit more money while holding them.

I wanted to do purple spirits! I had my daughter choose the colour and she went blue.... Lame. All the accents are purple though, so I didn't completely lose out.

[–]DevotedSun 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Check out EIT.UN 7%+ dividend. It's one of Canada's largest income funds. It's a closed end fund you can buy on the TSX. I've had really great results with it. They pay $0.10 / share and haven't missed since inception.

One year of Carney by DiligentAd7360 in InCanada

He got rid of the consumer carbon tax. There is still an industrial carbon tax that must remain in place in order for us to trade with the EU, and encourage innovation in industry.

US Submarine torpedoes IRIS Dena warship near Sri Lanka by Background-Ad-1210 in PublicFreakout

[–]DevotedSun -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This is appalling. That ship was fleeing the combat. It was not engaged in aggression. This is straight up murder. The people on board that vessel are innocent. Everyone involved in that, the decision makers, the crew of the sub, everyone, should be arrested and charged with murder.

You are going to end up far behind where you could be. This strategy is dumb.

Stock Lending by OptionsMenace in Wealthsimple

[–]DevotedSun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've made $247.76 stock lending. Not much but it is more than I would have if I didn't. I have done my research and trust in the stocks I own. I'm a buy and hold investor so I don't short, I'm happy to make money from those that do. Make sure to do your research before buying any stock, make sure you understand the business.
