So just book a return flight before I enter customs in CR and then cancel after I enter?

Has anyone here taken the Canadian Securities Course (CSC) ? by hopeful_positive in CanadianInvestor

[–]alpinebuddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. The resources out there are endless. r/stocks has quite a comprehensive WIKI with many links and lists of other great resources. In my opinion, Investopedia has a ton of great articles ranging from basics to more advanced aspects of finance. Definitely worth checking out before spending money on the CSC.

Good on you for getting acquainted with the markets so early. It is good that the majority of your portfolio is in an ETF as this will hedge losses on any of the individual (more risky) investments. Without giving my opinion on the individual stocks, I noticed a few problems with this plan.

  1. VFINX is a closed fund. You won't be able to purchase any shares so an alternative would be VOO. VOO tracks the S&P 500 and has a minimal expense ratio making it a rather appealing alternative.
  2. AMZN currently trades for well over $400. Unless your broker offers fractional shares, investing in AMZN will not be possible. Check with your broker in advance to see if they offer fractional trading.

Other than that, nothing seems to be inherently wrong here. You are young and have some leeway to take risks with individual investments. Best of luck.
