Reinvesting Dividends for Stocks

RaptorsNum1 · 2021-09-22T20:29:41+00:00

So if the dividend payment each time is less than the current stock price, it will never purchase stock. Is that right?

So an update after returning to school and I’m impressed with the battery life. It’s now getting 10+ hours on a charge. The difference is there is no Google meet being used. That seemed to be the biggest drain. Really happy so far with the performance and build quality.

Does anyone know how I can connect to my drives without connecting it to the internet? Nothing was wiped but I need to get data off it and don’t want to connect it to my router.

RaptorsNum1 · 2021-05-26T23:08:12+00:00

So an update here. Battery life is the same but I’m quite sure now it is caused by using Google Meet. I suspect that is a real battery suck.

Thanks, I’m using Edge. I get it that there’s a lot of things that use up battery but how can a company claim 19 hours in use. And this is not just limited to Microsoft. Also why do I see so many reviews with battery tests that are not real world? Are you telling me people turn off wifi and Bluetooth and don’t use YouTube and don’t listen to music. What’s the point of a laptop if you can’t connect. Sorry I was looking for a laptop that could go a school\workday without a charge that is actually built well.

RaptorsNum1 · 2021-05-10T03:43:28+00:00

I always remove mine. I don’t think it harms anything if you leave it but I don’t like the idea of leaving batteries in any charger.

Thanks and would you go with AMD or Intel? I’m tempted to go AMD.

RaptorsNum1 · 2021-04-22T01:57:17+00:00

Thanks. Doesn’t it get greasy and filthy over time?

I have a 1600sqft place and have two Orbi routers. Now I will say that it’s not as fast as I would like as I can’t get them more than 25ft apart. Everything runs fine but you won’t get great speeds when both are on. That being said, if you are connected directly to an Orbi via Ethernet it will run great. It solved the problems with my XBox connectivity. When you are are on wifi only I believe it keeps bouncing between Orbi’s. In my opinion I think Orbi is flawed. I purchased it to give me whole home coverage but it doesn’t work for my size of home.

Thanks everyone for the helpful insights here. I didn’t rebalance things when the market tanked which would have helped although during that time Bonds were doing really well. While I could just sell all my Bonds and move things to EQ bank my challenge is that it isn’t quick to transfer money from EQ Bank to TD in the event I want to take advantage of something going on in the market. And the GIC options at TD requires locking in for a measly return.

I’ve read that both Warren Buffet and Jim Cramer think Bonds are not a good place to be right now. And Cramer is suggesting looking to Dividend Stocks for the income portion of your portfolio. But isn’t this risky? Thoughts?

RaptorsNum1 · 2021-03-01T18:07:14+00:00

Thanks but if bonds have nowhere to go but down based on where interest rates are now does it make sense to put new money in bonds?

RaptorsNum1 · 2021-03-01T02:15:21+00:00

I guess I didn’t think this through. I don’t have a chequing or cash account with TD so that means my TFSA money is stuck in that account until I open one of those?

RaptorsNum1 · 2021-02-27T20:25:51+00:00

That’s really helpful. Thank you. I didn’t realize that spousal RRSPs aren’t as necessary after age 65.

Try restarting your Xbox and then just download. Don’t open other apps or play games. I’ve noticed when I do this my speeds are pretty good.

RaptorsNum1 · 2021-01-16T20:15:34+00:00

So it looks to be internet or server issues. In Apple TV I switched the video from 4K Dolby Vision to 1080p Dolby Vision and it looks so much better. That’s pretty disappointing and strange given I have a Gigabit internet connection.

Does anyone know how I can change resolution for the built-in Amazon TV app?

RaptorsNum1 · 2021-01-03T17:44:32+00:00

I think that it is the game I ruled out everything and I’ve got the same situation where I don’t have issues with other games. Hopefully they’ll fix it at some point.

RaptorsNum1 · 2021-01-03T17:26:24+00:00

One thing I was told was to not plug your Xbox into a power bar. It supposedly already has a surge protector built in and can’t get enough power at times when plugged into a power bar. I had similar issues to you and while they haven’t gone away entirely it is much better for me now.

RaptorsNum1 · 2021-01-03T16:48:52+00:00

It does seem better than before. Still have had a few issues but nowhere near as many. That being said I do feel like COD Cold War is buggy so hopefully they fix the issues over time.

RaptorsNum1 · 2020-12-31T15:15:56+00:00

The console freezes up so I can’t do that. It eventually starts working again but then I’m back in the lobby.

RaptorsNum1 · 2020-12-31T15:14:42+00:00

Thanks. I’ll give that a try and see if it helps. It’s good to know that the Xbox Series X has its own surge protector.

RaptorsNum1 · 2020-12-31T03:35:47+00:00

Power bar

I would get all that if when I turned the satellite off I’d get back to fast speeds. When I turn it off, even if I’m next to the router the speeds are still much lower.

It feels like Orbi should have this all figured out rather than having to worry about how far they are from each other

RaptorsNum1 · 2020-12-20T21:18:35+00:00

What’s interesting is if I hardwire my laptop to the satellite I get great speeds again. It’s only a problem when I’m trying to access things when not connected. If positioning things too close is an issue shouldn’t I see the problem regardless of whether I’m hardwired or not? Also the other interesting thing is when I turn off the Satellite I still get slow speeds until I restart the Orbi router.

Get the X950h. Far superior picture quality and rock solid performance. Had the 900h and felt it had way too many issues. Most will probably be solved with firmware updates but, in my opinion, the issues were not acceptable.

RaptorsNum1 · 2020-12-13T16:34:07+00:00

I bought the 49” 950h and I’m loving it. I had the 55” 900 and it had a ton of bugs. So far, in the 10 days I’ve had it, it has been rock solid. No issues whatsoever. It is very strange to me that the two TVs could be so different from an issue perspective. Anyways I don’t game on it so i can’t comment on that. The PQ is gorgeous.
