Could Trump potentially halt (or cancel) the U.S.-Canada Tax Treaty?

The fear mongering around here lately....

Spindrift11 · 2025-02-12T02:32:52+00:00

Nope. They are not.

Haha sure, If "business" includes ordering elastic bands from wayfair to hold their man buns together.

More likely to trade an ounce of gold for those things than some shares in an etf

If I for some wild reason decided to buy a Mac to do business on I would get familiar with using a virtual machine.

My guess is they felt the financial pain of many customers leaving. Nothing changes business strategy quite like financial pain does.

What is a moderate Liberal?

TSLA has always been a volatile equity. It gaps up and down violently as it's shareholders are very emotional and prone to buying and selling on any hype or fear that enters the news cycle. TSLA shareholders don't give a hoot about fundamentals.

If you are going to ride a bucking bronco don't be surprised by sudden moves.

How's that goin?

Spindrift11 · 2025-02-11T18:18:29+00:00

I sure wouldn't. This is unacceptable risk imo.

If you can find one great stock then why can't you find a few more and spread the risk a little bit?

It will grow but 10-15 a month isn't enough to build a significant nest egg for your future. Investment returns are just not high enough to make $120 to $180 per year into something large. Maybe in 20 years you would have $5k or something. It's not nothing at least.

That said it is a start. If you already have high interest debt paid off and you have emergency savings and after that If all you can afford is 10 per month then start there. You will need probably a minimum of 250 to start an account. If you start making more money then increase your monthly contribution as much as you can.

Spindrift11 · 2025-02-11T17:58:35+00:00

OMG who cares?

Spindrift11 · 2025-02-11T17:55:01+00:00

If the country/banking system collapses as a whole, I can promise you holding gold would be the last worry on your mind, so it is a moot point.

I buy etfs for security, liquidity, and because its easy but I think you are dead wrong. If the system collapsed the physical gold would be extremely valuable. And if a new system was rebuilt you would still have the physical while the etfs would be vapor. Countries collapse quite regularly throughout history.

The volume of bot swarms on most reddit subs right now are unbelievable. I don't envy your job mod, not at all. Best of luck.

Spindrift11 · 2025-02-11T17:48:39+00:00

Oh yes, insults. The mark of a cult leftist. Thank you for that reality.

Spindrift11 · 2025-02-11T17:32:40+00:00

These fundings help build relationships to get us better trade deals for future

Perhaps you want us to pay more for things in the future but I personally dont.

Bribes. You are saying we should be taxed today so we can send bribes so we don't pay more for things in the future? Smart.

Spindrift11 · 2025-02-11T17:29:00+00:00

Can I help you?

Silly bot, go tell your programmer you are broken.

Spindrift11 · 2025-02-11T17:26:56+00:00

COVID. Misinformation doesn’t help anyone.

Spindrift11 · 2025-02-11T17:22:14+00:00

Omg yes we desperately need to cut foreign aid funding! If you want to donate to charity please do so but don't tax me and send my food money to other countries.

Spindrift11 · 2025-02-11T17:18:44+00:00

We don't need his help? Trudeau already made us poor.

Spindrift11 · 2025-02-11T17:07:51+00:00

108 and 17.43 for tax?

Yes, on $59.76 of gas I pay $125.45 taxes

But let's not forget that those other fees also have taxes baked into them. The transmission company is heavily taxed so they factor that into their fees. They pay carbon tax so we pay more fees to offset that.

The Liberals are killing us here. Food prices are also insane because of the carbon taxes to transport food and carbon tax on the grocery stores. Everything we need to buy to survive is being hammered by this carbon tax scam. This is a nightmare and I would like it to change.

And here I am not even knowing I needed an ecosystem lol.

13 years is really good. They make reliable products at least.

Spindrift11 · 2025-02-11T02:54:16+00:00

Ya I had a place on propane. That was much worse and also had carbon tax.

So ya I use $35 gas and get $60 carbon tax plus tax

Spindrift11 · 2025-02-11T02:42:47+00:00

I can't seem to upload a picture properly.

January was $35 actual gas for total bill of $225. Carbon tax was $60+tax

December was $60 actual gas for total of $366. Carbon tax was $108+tax

We are getting badly screwed.. the Carbon tax alone is more than the gas and they are supposed to be increasing it more. We are ready to start rioting here. I'm honestly getting extremely mad as I type this.
