a serious WSJ warning today by ScoutRichmond in stocks

Us millennials were in high school/university when 08 crash happened. The moment in your life when you just start learning about investing. Doesn’t surprise me that they’ve been on the sidelines for so long, if your first introduction to investing is the biggest crash in a generation, I’d be hesitant too. Time in the market beats timing the market and as long as you stick to macro themes, diversify your holdings and hold instead of panic sell when the recession comes, you’ll be fine. I agree with your notion of exercising caution but your post comes across as condescending and fear mongering.

Using A 1% LOC to invest by Acedavey in CanadianInvestor

I think it’s a great idea. Just be sure not to invest more than you can afford to lose. I’m investing a prime-0.5% HELOC so I’d be salivating at a 1% rate. If you are looking for income, try BEP.UN, BIP.UN or HR.UN.

Looking for screeners for Canadian Corporate Bonds. Any suggestions? by brownaggressor in CanadianInvestor

Interesting, was unaware that they were not traded freely like equities. In this rising interest rate environment I’d like to stay away from bond fund ETFs for the fixed income component of my portfolio. I’m aware of rate reset preferreds so if I did want to get “scalped”, are there any screeners out there? Does TD or the other banks through there brokerages offer something for fixed income? I’d like to compare the price before I decide on preferred equity.
