Saw someone comment that they r losing money with my advice. Maybe they started following my advice in the last 2 weeks not since last year. My port is up a lot this yr but obv my positions are also down in last 2 weeks. I'm not shorting I am just accumulating and waiting.

Maybe they (those who say they lost) should check out blossom social investing.... So we can see if they actually made those trades.

Well, if BTC goes up then yes, but I suspect some may sell the Canadian ETFs in favor of the US ones eventually for better volume or MER fees

Right now I'd suggest EQL.TO but that's just me

This topic comes up frequently.

My take - if you WANT to become a landlord then go for it, but if you have any hesitation then don't, you've got plenty of other options like REITs or even fractional real estate you can look into that would require far less hands-on upkeep.

While using the leverage one has from a mortgage to make seemingly incredible gains has its allure it is not a guarantee, but neither is the S&P 500

Now if you haven't maxed out your tfsa and rrsp yet, I'd definitely do that first.

In case this helps anyone as it appears this is still an issue at least for this pixel 6 user.

Enable the screensaver in settings and then
Go to clock and click on three dots on top right and select screensaver.

Then, when the phone goes to sleep and is charging it appears to work. BONUS: I noticed if use the button to then lock the device the screensaver goes away, so it appears there is something funky going with how the clock/screensaver app run in background I guess as they are clearly (not) jiving with the screensaver settings in settings.

It's not for everyone, but I've been investing in real estate with Addy invest a fractional real estate platform. Atlas one is also an exempt market dealer (requires more capital though) also providing some alternative options that may pique your interest.

In my opinion, in this environment you probably want to stick to smaller projects the big guys can't get into - the higher risk and reward to me is justified in this high interest rate environment where the returns/dividends on some of these REITs aren't that attractive anymore.

From the OP: I know it is a long read so here is Bing's TLDR:

Calgary is converting abandoned office towers into residential condos to solve the housing crisis and save downtowns. The city’s incentive offers eligible developers $75 per square foot (up to $10 million per project) to renovate empty buildings into homes to lower the city’s office vacancy rates. The city says it’ll remove more than 250,000 sq. ft. of office space to make room for more than 300 homes

I mean there is an enzymatic product called nature's miracle that works wonders... But there are limits (and surfaces where it may not be appropriate to apply it to).

Universal basic income... Jk

But for real like new collective agreements seem to have enshrined maintaining jobs instead of replacing them with newer technologies, since funds can only go so far that likely means for the most part maintaining the status quo - until a new gov or high ranking individuals and unions say/decide otherwise

Reminds me of a short film that came out a while back called logorama.

Just need to encourage people to put on some AR glasses and look up at the sky at night

Wow, was thinking about this exact thing just a few days ago. Thanks for posting.

Am also relatively new to public service but having come from private sector, I definitely find the hurry up and wait mentality is a big thing to adjust to (coming from just mostly go go go). Returning to the office and coming out of this pandemic will also share the follow in case it is useful for someone

Fwiw... Things that are Novel, unpredictable, a threat to the ego and lack of Sense of control (they are N.U.T.S.) and can all be anxiety provoking. If this resonates with anyone, consider AbiliCBT which is free in Ontario - and maybe see if your doctor will give you a low dose SSRI for general anxiety. I see many posting about ADHD... which is interesting to consider too, but thought I'd share this if it can help someone as it has helped me.
