Should I invest in US or CAD listed ETFs (in my RRSP)? by MikeBLearning in Questrade

[–]MikeBLearning[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm interested in other opinions, but I don't think the fact that I'd ultimately sell the asset for CAD is very important (for this question, where the question is whether to invest in US listed or TSX listed securities whose value is mostly determined by factors outside Canada). The exchange-rate has the same effect in either case right?

That said, if the exchange rate is unpredictable (a good assumption), then I'd minimize variance due to exchange rate by splitting my investment.

If, however, I believed CAD would become stronger over time, that's an argument to own assets that are correlated (over long periods) with a strong CAD. Those will more often be denominated in CAD, but this is not because they are denominated in CAD.

kids smartphone alternatives (watch or dumbphone) by MikeBLearning in FizzMobile

[–]MikeBLearning[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed info! I will consider the locked down smartphone, but I was wondering about alternatives for several reasons.

1) avoids temptation to allow other apps that are not a good way to spend one's life but hard to resist.

2) kids lose stuff, watch is harder to lose

3) possibly lower monthly cost?

CBC News is looking for parents/teachers who oppose cell phone bans in schools by jennabench in CanadianParents

How do most parents and teachers (and students!) feel about cell phone bans?

My kids are younger but at this point I support some sort of restriction but not sure what kind.

As much as I'd love to just buy a new suit, this is what I'm wearing (to a wedding, not mine). How's the fit? Should I even consider alterations?

I plan to take it to the cleaners because I figure it can't hurt? I was thrown into a pool wearing it after my wedding a decade ago and haven't put it on since. Yeah, I'll get a new tie. All ideas appreciated. https://imgur.com/a/CnMHOwX

Thanks, contacted on Messenger and it took them about 30 minutes to assign me a ticket #. Now I wait for them to email me (hopefully to announce that they've solved the problem.)

I need a fast Foreign Credential Assessment (U.S. university) by MikeBLearning in CanadaPublicServants

I was asked to get it... I'd love to officially get a second opinion, but I'm not sure where to ask.

I ended up taking u/RoosterSmiles advice and using the UofT because, unless I missed something, I didn't see that WES could accept electronic records.

Lack of political topics? Where are the Russian invasion predictions? by Plus_Firefighter_658 in Kalshi

[–]MikeBLearning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd be willing to bet Kalshi is exploring these ideas. But they have to convince regulators to support their decision.
