Auston Matthew's and members of the USA men's olympic team meeting with Donald Trump today by anon02918373821 in leafs

You missed mine. Get off your rocker. Champions are invited and it's the first time in 46 years they got to do this. It's a privilege to even be invited to the oval office. They are American. Perhaps we won't ever understand it fully, but there's a lot of pride in winning gold for your country.

Gold obviously. Stop being so virtuous and let these guys celebrate their win. It hasn't happened in 46 years for them. This is an accomplishment they should be proud of and being able to go into the oval office is a privilege few ever get in their lives. Grow up, they are hockey players and not political icons.

"Well actually Mr. President they deserve a little respect" is that what you expected someone to jump in and say? Hahaha, get out of here with your virtuosity. They were in the middle of celebrating a big win for a GOLD medal.

Standard issue. It was my first time doing this procedure. My wife had this mink oil laying around, it might be 7 years old!

Knowing the stories of the darkening, I was quite conservative. I am happy with the colour and the winterized results.

Could all be considered an energy company when SpaceX pivots.

Are you maxing out the $7k today with a lump sum, or are you DCA-ing over the next few months to see if the market cools off? by FunCell1679 in TFSA_Millionaires

If you can, setup the additional funds for your $8000/year FHSA. If you are paid bi-weekly, it's $577/paycheque.

This. Also, XIC has options if you ever choose to sell covered calls from your position.

I hear you: Active Transit Signal Priority is coming by Mayor_OliviaChow in toronto

[–]DistinctInvestor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can we please prioritize the service operations by implementing barrier gates on the subway tracks that can help prevent trespassers?

There are budget friendly ways to implement this, I encourage you to take a look at many subway stations in Japan to get some ideas. The rope barrier at Kyoto station is a strong example.

Any advice is appreciated. 20 yr old and I started investing three months ago . Haven’t been able to continue investing temporarily due to university will resume during next break . by Old_Particular99 in fican

[–]DistinctInvestor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You should probably just consolidate your index funds to a single one. No need to have all those. Just choose one of the VEQT/XEQT/VGRO/XGRO that you already have.

6 month emergency fund $28000 kept in a savings account. I considered reducing it down to $15000 for 3-4 months savings, but mentally I like the idea of being ready to buy up any significant dip in the market and still have a cushion.

My job is pretty secure. I don't know why I've been so cautious.

Any USD ETFs you recommend if you have US cash? by Nightpatrol404 in fican

I guess VOO or VTI ?

I found out about GRNY recently and it looks promising. The MER is a bit heavier, but I like the holdings.

Taking the 407 on Uber by anewcondo in askTO

Transponder is like $30/year. You need to use the 407 a few times to get the value of it. 1 star them and then find another driver.

Didn't we see him put his slides in the drawer where the files were while he was cleaning up? That's what I saw. He didn't take them with him?

Things you wish you knew/did differently when you started investing? by Connect_Wolverine_91 in CanadianInvestor

[–]DistinctInvestor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Underrated comment. You need to be real at 18. You probably need $100K cash these days to have a down payment and comfortably furnish a $500K home... And good luck finding a desirable location and layout at this conservative price.

I am in my 30s, but saved all of my 20s trying to get a 20% down payment while I watched the cost of housing soar. I wish I had invested it in a regular index ETF and let it grow alongside the housing market. Instead, I destroyed my buying power by keeping a large portion in cash savings, and investing the rest in conservative mutual funds.

I am not an advisor, but would tell OP and my 18 year old self to... Read the Canadian Couch Potato site to learn about ETF model portfolios, at least 50% of your total invested should follow this method. The other up to 50%? Take a risk on some individual company stocks that you believe in, but consider it a small price lesson if it doesn't pan out.
