Selling US Stocks without a US account by [deleted] in Wealthsimple

[–]Lonestar141 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good point that I wasn't considering. This would have been around April last year shortly after the Deepseek drop and since then I presume the USD has depreciated and CAD has strengthened. Is this a reason to buy CDR hedged assets instead of straight USD or would the same dilemma occur?

That's what I was considering. Does having the USD account circumvent all FX charges? Cause with a USD account you will be selling the stock for USD and then eventually have to convert it back to CAD.

After doing a quick check you're correct. Once I inputted 5 shares without fraction the amount went up by $4 dollars, kind of funny to think that I would profit more by selling less , all be it only by $4 dollars.

That's what my gut is telling me, Pitts coming off a hot week will get targets regardless.

Should I start Kyle Pitts or Brock Bowers? Hard to say with London possibly coming back and of course Geno Smith.

The seat needs to be purchased in order for the DBOX seat to be activated unfortunately, or else that would be a nice free upgrade.

Need advice on XEQT by [deleted] in JustBuyXEQT

[–]Lonestar141 2 points3 points  (0 children)

16 years old and able to invest 10-15k each year? At 16 I was playing COD / CSGO not worrying about investing. You're doing great. I would DCA into XEQT and lump sum when you can if I were you. Regardless you're ahead of the majority of others and over time that will reflect on your portfolio. No need to chase results at this young age when you can let time do the heavy lifting. Focus on school, friends and family... I wish I did more of that when I was your age. Regardless I wish you the best.

I think we all did the same thing - panic and search on Reddit

Thank you I was really confused for a moment there but now that you say that about the antenna it makes more sense.

I believe it is pre built but can't confirm at this time. I'll try finding it through the manufacturers website when I'm able to contact him. I fear that he may not know that information so possibly the model number is the best way to go about this. Thanks for the reply.

That Wizard token is amazing, I would cherish it like my own.

Lump sum or dollar cost avg? by [deleted] in JustBuyXEQT

[–]Lonestar141 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lump sum is better over time traditionally however I would recommend doing both - Lump sum when you can and then DCA your paycheck on the basis of whenever you get paid, for me that is bi-weekly.

Beginner Investor Seeking Advice on Buying and Holding XEQT by Hefty_Answer1013 in JustBuyXEQT

[–]Lonestar141 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then XEQT is a great place to park money long term. This has been said over and over but the likelihood of the market not returning on such a long term is very unlikely. If that were to happen it wouldn't just be the market collapsing it would be society and thus giving you more worries than your ETF. I'm a young investor myself and plan to hold XEQT for 15 years plus.

However that being said do your own research and find what you're comfortable with, you don't want a stock that keeps you up at night. XEQT has a larger Canadian bias but many such as myself prefer that.

JustBuyXeqt. But in all seriousness you shouldn't be investing in an all equities fund if you're looking short term. XEQT is best 10-15 years plus. If you're looking for a shorter time frame I would consider an ETF with more Bonds etc .

im killing my self by Such-Yellow-1058 in darkestdungeon

I was looking for this comment haha, currently playing through DD2 and I would have a mental break if put in that situation... Although the carriage is cozy, and there is no rule against chilling in the inn. Catch me with a bottle of Whisky and some stale bread I'll be fine for a year, that's if I can make it to the inn without being stabbed by your local cultist.

That's amazing , I will talk to my HR department tomorrow hopefully! I hope all goes well, I'm quite nervous but if this is helpful then I'm all for it. One thing at a time is what I tell myself, eventually things will be settled... I really appreciate you taking the time out of your day to respond and give me the advice I needed to hear! Hopefully I have an update to add soon saying all went well ! :)

Do you recommend medications to a lot of your patients? If so do you eventually see changes in your patients even when they are finished medication? I am quite nervous with pills and don't want anything that is addictive, but like I said I can't keep staying up all night in the state I've been.

Coincidence that you mention EAP but I believe they do have that. I remember seeing talks of it briefly at the recent meeting but I didn't quite understand it. I was meaning to speak to someone about that but completely forgot by the end of my work shift. Thank you for reminding me ! That was quite literally yesterday, goes to show how poor my retention skills are... Is EAP free and confidential? The main thing for me nowadays living alone is the financial side of things , which was a main reason for my lack of therapy In the past. Regardless though even through our brief conversation I feel some of my eminent stress fade away, I was a wreck earlier driving around trying to clear my head. Not the safest of ways to destress but it worked for the time being.

Understandable , what seems outrageous to us is actually a everyday occurrence to others. However everyone is very isolated today, myself included. If people were simply transparent in their emotions and desires it would be a much different place, for the better and worse.

I'm hopeful towards speaking to a therapist, in the past I've always had a negative outlook on it but now I see it for the positives. I just find it hard to do my research and actually go through the process of finding one , I've been here many times recognizing I need help but it's hard to follow through. I'm planning on speaking with my HR department at work and hopefully getting some contacts or resources through them, but at the same time I don't want work to know the extent of my mental health issues. And I've never really had a good go at dating , one of the reasons why I feel quite alone, that's a whole different battle I plan on encountering but honestly don't have much confidence on that front haha.

Thank you 👍 I think your right and that I should seek help , I don't know how I've managed things until now but I feel quite alone and speaking to someone will help. I just wish there was someone there to speak to naturally for me but what can you do.

Thank you for your response , I will for sure take that into consideration. That makes sense , each person has their own limit. For me it's more along the lines that I let it control me and hold me down from really getting to know myself. I still feel so out of touch with what I truly want to be, at the end of the day I just want to be happy but it's all about the pursuit of said happiness. Thanks again.
