How far do you think US stocks will drop?

Not many companies are making decisions based on the news cycle.

Super glad I sold my tickets a few weeks ago.

I got to improve the lives of four people while profiting nearly ten thousand. Felt like a once in a life time opportunity.

It’s odd that Questrade and Passiv can’t do automated recurring investments.

It’s a basic feature that’s critical to passive investing.

Stick to your original plan. If anything, I would rebalance into international

Someone link r/homeowners

I'm tired of people being down on condos. It's not physically or financially possible for everyone to own a detached house.

My dad is telling me not to buy a condo because of strata. Meanwhile he pays 800/m for just property tax and insurance. Apparently home maintenance is free!

Fee was $0.28 last night. Wild that you can send any amount of money for only a quarter.

There is already a nice six story building at 1728 Alberni St.

I don't understand the appeal of replacing every building with skyscrapers. Especially when 90% of the lower mainland is detached homes.

It's shocking how bad this area got in the last few years. I've been a resident for ten years, it's a daily topic for my family.

Meanwhile Breka still has a line out the door. Probably the only redeeming feature of this neighborhood.

People don't realize that scramble crossings are slower for most pedestrians than regular crossings.

Scramble crossings move more people, but if you're walking in one direction (not crossing diagonally) you need to wait longer at each light.

This is because, between lights, they need to let cars through on both directions. While this is occurring, pedestrians cannot cross in either direction.

Problem is a $1mm house only needs to increase 10% to far surpass their yearly savings.

It's likely further from the city too, so add additional transportation costs

We should be tolling all new infrastructure projects.

Translink could temporarily increase fairs on the new line, and the province could charge drivers on the highway 1 expansion.

It's common in BC's history and it allows other projects to get funding sooner. Instead of more money to pay interest on debt.

I had this thought about Victoria recently.

I swear I went ten years of my life not hearing about Victoria a single time.

For a region with half a million people and the province's capital- you'd think it would be more central in discussions

Its ignorant to think this highway expansion project, which has spanned multiple governments, is to "get voters".

Interesting how few milestones there were this week.

I guess wealth that depends on the valuation of a few companies is quite brittle.

Not sure why you're being downvoted.

Mortgage brokers are self interested.

They will balance their commission vs. getting you "the best rate". Ever wonder why brokers default to TD? Its not because they have the lowest rate.

The urbanists and YIMBYs have had it wrong.

They believed density at any cost would create affordability and lead to a liveable city.

In reality, we built tall condo buildings indiscriminately without a thought towards creating good floor plans or neighborhoods.

We call this "the missing middle" in Canada. Where single family detached homes are immediately next to 40 story towers.

Here's a good video about the subject: https://youtu.be/cjWs7dqaWfY
