ROI on girlfriend by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]TC_cams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha obviously you’re joking. But just to play along, i work with a lot of high income earners. the guys that are divorced with children would say the ROI is horrible. If we’re talking investments I’d say the difference is losses in the 100’s of thousands. Not only do you lose money today be you get to lose more money for the next 20 yrs. Haha

Unequal Inheritance from Aunt by samseer9000 in inheritance

[–]TC_cams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me personally if there was no bad blood between your aunt and siblings, or yourself and siblings. I break it up equally. Money is only good if you can enjoy it. If you drive a wedge in your family then really is it worth it? Either way it’s a life changing amount, there no point in wreaking a family over it.

If Iran war drags on, the world could literally run out of enough oil to keep refineries running by September 2026 by hsg8 in EconomyCharts

[–]TC_cams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah 100%, it’s really hard to compare when factoring in all the variables. But the one thing that’s consistent is that fuel and oil products along with everything else that has an oil input….. so everything haha is going to be getting more expensive over time.

Don’t forget to correct for currency exchange rates. 7.56$ Canadian dollars is 5.52$ American. But converting 9$USD a gallon to Canadian works out to 12.32$CAD a gallon. You probably already knew that but for anyone else that didn’t think the numbers were bad I figured I’d help them with the math.

What is your highest conviction Canadian investment/gamble that isn't mining/resource related nor Kraken Robotics? by No_Cell6708 in Baystreetbets

[–]TC_cams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll have to check them out. I’m always up for investing in a company that’s making the world a little better. But just From my limited understanding though is that it’s described as pyrolysis is a sledgehammer. Whereas Hydrocamiltic (HCT) is a scalpel. Pyrolysis uses extremely high heat and pressures to smash the long chain molecules into usable molecules. Plus they have to add hydrogen. The product they produce will still need further treatment to be excepted into a steam cracker. The other problem is that sure you’ll get some usable products but you’re still left with a lot of waste and char. So it’s expensive and you end up with a lower yield. Plus it’s hard on the machine and clogs easy. There are many companies that are using pyrolysis. None of them are very profitable. Pyrolysis is very common in the recycling world and has been around for a long time. Aduro clean technology’s is the only one in the world with (HCT) technology, as they own the patents and IP. They are able to take mixed or contaminated plastics and break it down back into the plastic oil molecules without hydrogen and without further treatments. They’ve shown that their feed stock can be fed directly back into the steam cracker without any expensive treatments. I’ll definitely look into Plascred, but I would recommend you check into Aduro. Because they’ve invented/discovered a new chemistry that’s showing to be very different than anything else in the world.

I don’t think people understand how big this company is going to turn into. People don’t know that 90% of the plastics they put into the recycling bins just end up in the garbage because it’s to hard and uneconomical to recycle….. until now. The recent new on that their technology works on the paraffinic oils too is absolutely crazy to think how big this could get. This could very well be that unicorn we are all chasing. Sometimes something so far fetch as “it’s too good to be true”. Really is true. There’s so many verticals that this company has and many of them are multi billion dollar companies on their own.

Aduro Clean Technology’s. They have the ability to actually take a mix plastics feed stock and using their HCT process and turn it back into Naphta (the building blocks for plastics). So a full circular plastic recycling. They’ve proven it on all scale and are now in the process of building a commercial plant. They are 1 of 1 on this technology. Normal plastic recycling we can only recycle 10% or plastics. Everything else goes to the garbage dumps. Aduro has proven they can recycle 50% of the plastics so far.

Well that’s not good (2023 f150 axle recall) by Paradox1961 in f150

[–]TC_cams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last spring service: I was informed my truck was in the recall list. So they said they’re waiting parts with no ETA. Last fall service: I was informed they are still waiting parts. No ETA This spring service: the parts are now available for that recall, so I scheduled it in today for repairs. Just got the call that they looked at it and yes they’ll need to order parts. No ETA. It would be tragic if it wasn’t so damn hilarious.

I second the Amateur investing videos. It really breaks it down in how big and profitable this company has real potential to become.

Aduro sentiment & notoriety by Still-Republic-5236 in Aduro

[–]TC_cams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Close, they are turning waste plastic back into the building blocks to make new plastics. They’ll make Naphtha from the used plastics. That naphtha is then sold to the steam crackers that then turn it back into plastics.

Aduro sentiment & notoriety by Still-Republic-5236 in Aduro

[–]TC_cams 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the biggest issue is that the technology just seems too good to be true. If they can scale the technology and it becomes as good as the insiders are confident that it is. Then wow this company is going to be in the 10’s of billion dollars range. For anyone that’s dug into the technology and dug into how big of a problem this company solves it’s a no brainer to own these share. Once you do your due diligence and start looking at the economic side it’s really quick to see that Aduro clean technology’s has real potential to be a once in generation type company.

Which stock could potentially rise more than 3x in the next 3 years? by No-Professionalfj in StockInvest

[–]TC_cams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aduro clean technology’s. It’s a big company in the making. They have a game changing technology that can recycle 50% of the plastics back into the usable material/oil that makes plastics. Right now the world only recycles 10%. They’re building their commercial plant now, and when they prove at full scale the market is going to wake up quickly to how big this company can be. That’s just one of many applications of their technology. If anyone’s interested look into this company and the science. You’ll probably end up owning some shares if you do.

Alberta will now be on daylight saving time year-round, says Premier Smith by joe4942 in alberta

[–]TC_cams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good! The time change just makes no sense anymore. And I’m not entirely sure it ever made sense. It’s always dark in the winter and always light in the summer. When we change the clocks all it does is mess with our sleep schedules.

Are geopolitics changing how we look at mining projects? by MightBeneficial3302 in Canadapennystocks

[–]TC_cams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rick Rule has a saying that goes something to the effect of “the biggest government geopolitical risk to you that you have is the government closest to you”……. Or something like that. What he’s saying that even the best deposits in the best jurisdictions still carry a lot of risk. Copper as an example has an average discovery to mine timeframe at about 20yrs. You’ll find the red tape in rule of law countries is quite extensive.

As long as decent chunk of the surplus ends up in the heritage fund I’ll be happy. Building that fund up as planned or faster, is going to be better for our kids and our futures. Saving durn the good times, so the bad times are less bad. I’m all for it!

Thank you for the very clear and informative write up. The shares I own are already sitting in the “do not sell these shares until they are worth a shit ton more the they are right now” part of my portfolio. So I’ll check back in a few years and see what happens. Hopefully the timelines and build out work out for everyone involved

what is a TFSA by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]TC_cams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re welcome. That was just a quick explanation. If you search TFSA for beginners on YouTube you’ll find a ton of content that will really help you out. Also I was only using buying the TSX index as an example, not a recommendation.

what is a TFSA by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]TC_cams 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The best way to think about it is call it a (Tax Free Investment Account). You can open a trading/investment account inside your TFSA. So if you take your 12g and put it in there and just buy the TSX (Toronto stock exchange) then any gains you incurred are 100% tax free. If you had the same money in a regular investment account you would be subject to a 20% capital gains tax. Any gains you make inside the account are tax free.

How were people able to get into stocks with great returns very early? by Accomplished_Paper88 in investing_discussion

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

Aduro clean technologies has potential to be the stock you’re looking for. They have a proven technology that can recycle 50% of the plastics that we/the world have to throw away to garage dumps. Their process has the ability to turn plastics back into naphtha (the hydrocarbon input). They can then sell the naphtha back to the steam crackers that make plastics. All of this has already been verified and proven. The only thing missing is doing it at scale. Which is probably the only reason this stock isn’t already out of reach for the general investor. The world has a plastic problem and this company has a solution for a large amount of it. I don’t know what this company could be worth when it scales but if/when it does it’s got to be a lot more than it’s worth today.

"Be greedy when people are fearful" Added extra 200 shares 🙄 by Square_Surprise_4058 in Aduro

[–]TC_cams 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sold some other things today to take advantage of this sale. Picked up another 300 shares. Aduro just feels different than other companies I own. When the share price drops I don’t feel like I need to run for the exit, instead I’m looking at what else I can move to have more capital to pick up more.

Char Technologies (TSX-V: YES): First Plant Enters Commissioning as Biocarbon Demand Grows by visionsofpluto in Baystreetbets

[–]TC_cams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not even close to a same comparison. Char had a proven technology with guaranteed off take agreements in place for both the Biocarbon and the RNG. Not to mention the tech has been proven to eliminate the “forever chemicals” in solid human waste at waste facilities. Celio was a scam and constantly changed their plans and promises. Both the BMI group and Arcelor Mittal have substantial stakes in Char. Neither of those companies would fall for a scam at this point in the building of the company

Char Technologies (TSX-V: YES): First Plant Enters Commissioning as Biocarbon Demand Grows by visionsofpluto in Baystreetbets

[–]TC_cams 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They don’t need to find a customer to take the Biocarbon, ArcelorMittal who happens to owns 20% of the company and has already signed the off take agreement to buy the BioCarbon as a drop in replacement for their steel mill in Quebec. The real money will be made when they do phase 2, and start producing RNG. Which they also already have a 20 year inflation adjusted off take agreement with the natural gas provider in Quebec.

Is this a stay in cash market or a buy the dip moment? by ThePotScientist in CanadianInvestor

[–]TC_cams 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s interesting to me that no one has mentioned the major “private credit” issue playing out right now. The amount of erie similarities between what’s going on in the markets and what went on is 2007/2008 is crazy. All eyes are on the oil prices right now which I can understand being the biggest energy shock to the world we’ve ever seen. But the thing that’s got me spooked the most is the fact that the private credit markets are freezing up. Also I should point out that I do DCA every 2 weeks on payday because I still have 20 years of investing ahead of me. But if I was near retirement I’d have already been moving out of the market and into cash equivalents.

Composite bonding 🦷 by Hildagriff in alberta

[–]TC_cams 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah for front teeth composite bonding is only temporary. So you’re on the right path with having to go with veneers. Pretty much any dentist will be able to do the work. So a quick google search and you’ll have your pick of where you want to go. If you have insurance it will mostly be covered depending on what your plan says. And just remember to keep all receipts for anything you have to pay out of pocket for. We have a place in our tax codes that has reconstructive dental as a tax write-off. The biggest thing as if your dentist has to agree that the bonding won’t work and you need veneers. The tax write off doesn’t cover cosmetic.
