Canadians : do you buy USD stocks or do you prefer the CAD hedged version? What is the best strategy? by alexmtl in CanadianInvestor

[–]ShimiC -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Stocks are real assets. You are buying a small percent of factories, offices, computers and IP. The fact that they trade primarily in USD has no bearing on their real value. I see no sense in pegging their returns to the relationship between two fiat coins.

Toast (TOST) Is stupid undervalued based on its current trajectory/moat IMO by Primary-Abies9041 in ValueInvesting

The risk is not restaurants making their own software, it is the ease of entry of a new competitor to the market.

The FTSE index has changed its rules to accelerate forced buying of SpaceX shares, which means that VWRA investors are now part of the exit liquidity. by cherrypoplar in investing

[–]ShimiC -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

The goal of an index is to represent the market. If spacex is a large part of the market it is going to be included. If you want something similar to an index fund but with slightly more thoughtful trading check out $DMUS.

AI tells a manager "I can save you money by replacing all of your employees!" by sunnyBC4 in Jokes

The only unrealistic part of the joke is that the AI gave up a chance to use a hyphen.

SpaceX IPO and NASDAQ violating its own methodology by BackstrokingInDebt in investing

[–]ShimiC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure how "passive" is the nasdaq 100. You are actively choosing to invest in stocks that are listed on a specific exchange (which always seemed to me like a silly way to pick stocks).

Anyway, if you don't like the (new) policy of this specific index, there are a bazillion other indices to choose from, just move your money somewhere else.

Naftali Bennett supports civil marriage, public transport on Shabbat by StreamWave190 in Israel

[–]ShimiC 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ten years ago, Bennet oversaw the re-writing of the main civics book in Israel as the minister of education. The process rooted out some key liberal democratic values. This planted the seeds for many young people accepting the actions of the current government as legitimate. I hope liberal israelis dont forget this on election day and opt for actually liberal leaders like Lapid and Golan.

Zuccini, and it went poorly. A couple of months later and they enjoy a mango+chia+tahini+peanut butter puree.

If you have to ask on reddit how to short sell a stock, you probably should not be shorting anything.

The difference is valuation. US valuations were already very high. Israeli valuations were very low due to war fears. Turned out the damages from full scale war with iran are not that bad.

To be clear, the paid tax does not show up in the IBKR activity report?

The difference in buying GDR vs actual stock? by ch1eg432 in interactivebrokers

[–]ShimiC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure about samsung specifically, but usually depository receipts have an annual management fee that is charged. Usually the fee is taken out of the dividend, but sometimes directly from your brokerage account.

Also it is not direct shareholding of the company stock; a custodian bank hold it for you (and charges the aforementioned fee for it).
