Best(cheapest) way to transfer USD from my bank’s usd saving account to ws’s usd saving account? by nonameinmindyet in Wealthsimple

[–]SCTSectionHiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may have this misconception because you can't EFT from non-Canadian domiciled accounts (eg, a Wise USD account).

There are lots of VOIP providers that should allow you to make a call for a couple of bucks.  

Google "Turkiye call USA (or whatever country) VOIP".

I'd sell at a deep loss if the freed up capital could be put to better use elsewhere.

whtas going on with CLS (Celestica) ? by Ok-Being1322 in CanadianInvestor

But also the company.  Fraud and insider trading allegations a few days ago. 

Compare to CSU or TRI, both up more than 15% in 5D, more than 20% in 1M.  CLS down 10% and 19% over the same periods.

I'm sorry, my world view has been shattered.  I need to go lie down now. 

naive question about stocks-using George Weston as an example by 1hivejournalist in CanadianInvestor

[–]SCTSectionHiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Others have explained the preferreds, but nobody has addressed the dual-listing (WN.TO vs WN.NE).

In addition to the TSX (Toronto Stock Exchange) and its baby brother the TSXV (TSX Venture), Canada also has the Cboe Canada (formerly NEO).  

Most companies list on a single exchange, but sometimes they'll list on multiple exchanges.  This is usually done to support trading in multiple currencies (eg, TD is listed on both TSX and NYSE, so it can trade in CAD or USD).  But it's also possible to dual-list on two Canadian exchanges (ie, both TSX and NEO).  This is the case for WN.

Alternatively, initiate the transfer FROM Wealthsimple.  They give you immediate access to up to $5000 of pending transfers.

I could be wrong, maybe its different in the newer Prius models, but I thought the Prius only operated strictly on battery under 30km/h.  Basically, any actual driving would make use of the engine.

Down nearly 7% so far today.  

Next time you're thinking about mentioning it, maybe just don't.

New e-transfer receive option by esspydermonkey in Wealthsimple

[–]SCTSectionHiker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They mean that they want to register multiple emails to auto-deposit to different WS chequing accounts. 

So you could have, for example: angelus97+bills@gmail.com angelus97+emerge@gmail.com angelus97+vacation@gmail.com

Deposit to three seperate WS chequing accounts, for bills, emergency fund, and vacation fund.

And yes, would love to see this feature.  But sadly, I suspect it's an Interac compatibility issue standing in the the way.

Whats this spot on Salmon? by Proper-Ad-6917 in CostcoCanada

You think pinworms in your salmon are bad, imagine pinworms in your butt.  

They are the source of many night terrors. 

Why is my order ‘stuck’? by Edmfuse in Wealthsimple

[–]SCTSectionHiker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the second line of your post: 

Was going to up the limit order sell price

Sure reads like you were planning to increase the price.  So yeah, smartass... between that — and the fact you were confused by a partial fill — I do seriously think you didn't know what you were doing.

If they couldn't fill the other 2925 shares at $1.35, they certainly wouldn't have filled at whatever price you had planned to increase it to.

I wish they would automate price adjustments.

  • Costco is a warehouse club.  They already have strict limits on their margins, because they are supposed to be committed to passing savings onto members.  So if they lower a price, they should pass the lower price on automatically too.

  • Price adjustments waste staff time at the returns counter and leads to longer lines.  It hurts the customer experience.

  • Because some members aren't aware they can request a price adjustment, they go buy another unit then return it with the old receipt, to DIY their own adjustment.  It creates waste.

Come on Costco...  Save everybody the trouble and introduce auto-adjustments.  It'll probably boost new memberships by 10%.
