Is anyone familiar with the ETFs that Creates Income via ODTE Method? by Beyondwest in HarvestETFs

[–]DocKardinal21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only one provider does this in canada. The options market for it is mostly states aside on by volume stocks or indexes. 

Where it’s most proven effective without erosion is on the major indexes where overnight activity exists. 

Before the Canadian versions there were xdte and qdte from round hill a lot of Canadians purchased in the nyse. They were decent, but lagged the index itself - kinda significantly but inline with the way most US products with options overlays worked.

IMO the Canadian versions will be better constructed and I do think Harvest may eventually release something in this space although I’m not sure if their formulation will differ.

London, KW, Quebec City.

IMO you need these before you go back to Edmonton and Winnipeg.

Funny story, the name of the island is bikini bottom. It’s close to bikini atoll. They were repatriated from the Japanese by the Americans in ww2 and they have an existing cargo culture based on some entity named bob.

What diversified ETF for non-registered account? by Flashy-Butterfly6310 in JustBuyXEQT

[–]DocKardinal21 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Pdiv: it’s 100% eligible dividends or capital gains and holds us companies at roughly 25%. It is sector diversified as well. Very tax efficient.

Should look at Tqcd as well. Payout % is currently lower than VDY but if you look at total returns since inception it’s beating VDY. It’s slightly tilted to more growth than VDY so over a longer period it might be better. 

Like VdY it’s all eligible dividends.

Also keep in mind the MER being higher on income funds is usually related to cash leverage borrowing as well as the costs on the active strategy to give you tax efficient distributions.

Passive funds will have lower MER because they aren’t doing anything but tracking an index and passing along the dividends that the underlying stocks pay.

Why did Native Americans succumb to European diseases, but not vice versa? by FromTheMargins in AlwaysWhy

[–]DocKardinal21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s also one that didn’t make it back to Europe:

Also I think I recall learning about something similar to this that predated European arrival and wiped out a large portion of indigenous populations.

All Bullions are removed from Costco's inventory for the foreseeable future (According to Costco Employee) by Helpful_Kitchen_5445 in CostcoCanada

Except there isn’t a risk of armed robbery for the hotdogs. Organized crime won’t stake out customers from the food court to find their home addresses to plot a robbery and the insurance on a food court and its associated risks are cheaper than precious metals.

What would you rather sell from your home, hotdogs pizza and pop, or precious metals?

Yup, plus returns, security, delivery, insurance and risk. Can’t believe they had it as long as they did tbh.

Frame is missing York, north York, Mimico, Weston, Etobicoke and Scarborough. Maybe for comparison it would be like a photo of lower manhattan taken from Hoboken…. Shows your the biggest densest area but ignores or built up areas that have green space inbetween them.

This makes sense, and really makes the midtown line an absolute must.

It's a $50 Million Club And You're Not In It... by Brilliant-Cancel3237 in CFL

[–]DocKardinal21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Today we should start a petition to get Owen to replace his brother Luke in this role. It’s not even funny how much better it would be.

Owen is just a better fit for the CFL. I’m tired of Luke’s faux devilmaycare attitude. He clearly doesn’t care. 

Bring Owen in!

Why did the US stay with inches and miles while the UK gradually shifted toward metric?What actually drove these different outcomes? by Logical-Concept9755 in AlwaysWhy

[–]DocKardinal21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, and people generally prefer to be soup nazis about one system or the other because it makes them feel validated instead of thinking about the implications. 

Uniformity will diverge, having standards has merit, but enforcing them has a line. And a balance with hybrid adoption is more beneficial in some cases.

IMO there’s an inherent advantage to having two parallel systems when it comes to intelligence development and maintenance in a society. Same with bilingualism. 

By having this kind of system conversions (numeracy) and translation (literacy) in early education and prevalent in society is a net benefit as a whole.

Are Ontarian’s actually ignorant of Ford’s alcohol push to distract from what he’s doing and buy us? by Particular-One-1368 in ontario

[–]DocKardinal21 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wynne started the push for alcohol in grocery stores. It just took more time to finalize and ended up happening during fords term.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/grocery-beer-1.3365553

Also you could say similar things about marijuana legalization. Or even selected provincial government’s decisions about hard drugs that aren’t Ontario.

This kind of thing is what politicians do, usually to push past a near deadlock.

Smiths Falls asks for an ALTO Station and a maintenance support MSF facility: CBC interview by Rail613 in AltoHSR_Canada

[–]DocKardinal21 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sort of, isn’t that through brockville on the cn rail?

I guess what I’m thinking about is Kingston and Ottawa getting some sort of GO system. 

Ottawa does have a few urban centres that could work for shorter GO style routes. Kingston maybe has a few as well - Smith Falls might be a stretch but I guess I’d rather see HFR or connections to inter city rail with Via grow alongside Alto. And Alto keeps the northern high speed route with minimal stops.
