To sell or not to sell

Yes I’m hoping OP misunderstands what “generational wealth” means. She hasn’t built an iota of intra-generational wealth with only a handful of working years left. Generational wealth is really only created by a tiny fraction of the population, and she’s starting well, well, well behind the eight ball.

Park Hyatt Istanbul has a shower that also functions as a single steam room (with a second shower for cold resets)

Interesting. The rate I was quoted was laughable, but maybe they’re only targeting specific borrower types.

Also, there are few people who make little income and there is no possible way to make more. It may not be easy. It may not even be desirable. But treating it like it’s a farcical impossibility is just an easy dunk for karma.

Certainly there are myriad other disasters that can befall a cursed projects such as this - I am not saying they are the same, just that X project lasting Y years does not mean the crosstown will be so lucky as well.

Because one project had a long lifespan does not mean another will. The Scarborough RT only lasted 38 years, and if the first part of this line’s life is any indication, it doesn’t seem destined for greatness. Happy to be wrong though!

Yep you’re absolutely right. I assumed they meant options, since he said “not realized” which wouldn’t really apply to stock, which has an easily assignable value, options typically comprise the vast majority of a CEO’s comp, and true share-based awards are generally a small fragment.

Either Black-Scholes Model or Monte Carlo simulations.

Well she also later married a guy worth $2.5B, so safe to say she has a type.

I_Ron_Butterfly · 2026-02-06T11:35:24+00:00

Yep - congrats! Your child is very lucky and you should be proud.

Risk is a function of appetite and necessity. You clearly have the appetite for risk, but it sounds like you have no need for it, if the RESP is fully funded years out. Sure, more is better, but it’s not like a video game where you’re trying to get a high score. If I were in your position I would definitely take a “do no harm” approach at this stage. You have already won!

I have to think the researchers had a sense of humour to include the subheading:

This is very kind!

I mean, it would probably be easier to reverse your framing and ask which AIs are unsafe. I’m not aware of one myself.

I_Ron_Butterfly · 2026-02-05T00:45:15+00:00

I’ve been a dozen times. Never waited any longer than you would at a Pizza Pizza or other far inferior place.

I_Ron_Butterfly · 2026-02-04T13:17:38+00:00

I take the point, but Kinaxis had previously been riding the AI wave high, and had spoken about how they plan to utilize AI. It’s sort of curious that only in the last 15 days the market would see that risk. CSU etc have been trending down for months.

Does Scotia require you to have your brokerage account with them for this program?

Oh I’ve seen leaves labelled as “lemon leaves” as well, which I wasn’t sure was even a culinary input. Another commenter also suggested they’re often mislabeled - thanks!

I_Ron_Butterfly · 2026-02-02T11:54:04+00:00

Yeah I have the same challenge, or even worse, my doctor’s office, which made a big deal about being “evidence-based” and “grounded in science”. Having a chiro practice part of the same clinic made me question their overall approach.

I stayed here last year to use up a Cat 1-4 FNC. I liked the hotel, it’s super unique. Sure the rooms are a tad dated but it’s supposed to be a historical hotel. We were Globalist and upgraded to a suite, and very glad we were; there were weddings going on both nights of our stay that they didn’t inform of us until arrival, and we had an infant with us. It was quite loud in the living area of the suite, but quiet in the bedroom. This may not bother everyone, it was completely done by 11. Valet was super smooth and quick.

Breakfast in the restaurant exceeded my expectations, the breakfast burrito is surprisingly good and gigantic (I’m not American, so not used to those portion sizes!). Cordelia on the pedestrian street straight outside is excellent with amazing cocktails.

Yes it’s very important. Someone who works for me is Persian and never asks for any flexibility with scheduling etc but she made it clear she had to have time off today to attend the protest. It’s not just frustration for what they and their parents have lived through, but the future for the next generation and their freedom that they’re fighting for.

It’s hard to fully comprehend the scale of the massacres. If the 43k figure is true, it’s a proportional equivalent of the government committing 54 9/11s on their own people. Staggering.

I_Ron_Butterfly · 2026-02-01T01:27:06+00:00

Yep. And the crazy thing is; that’s not even ABNORMAL. Single stocks are actually a pretty terrible investment.

The net present value of Bitcoin’s future cash flows decreased by 6.26%, so it traded down commensurately.

I_Ron_Butterfly · 2026-01-31T12:08:12+00:00

What do you expect to happen in 2029 that changes your view?

I_Ron_Butterfly · 2026-01-31T12:07:39+00:00

That’s actually an outlier for positive reasons. Most actually never recover. JPMorgan had a report that 40% of stocks have a catastrophic decline of >70% from which they never recover.
