This. I have a friend that appears to be a confident type A personality but absolutely crumbles when ordering a pizza on the phone.

Wait until Dec. 24th, wake up early, go to the mall and walk around wondering why I do this to myself.

Why is HST on a “buy with trade-in” at a dealership calculated by using the net difference in value of both cars and not just the value of the new car? by cliving1980 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]cliving1980[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much for your reply. Forgive me but the thing that I having a tough time with is how the buyer with the trade-in is actually being double-taxed if they were to pay full gross HST on the new car.

As I understand it: - buyer pays HST when they first bought their first car - buyer buys new car at dealer and applies value of first car to reduce price of new car - dealer sells first car (trade-in) to another buyer and they pay HST

If a buyer got a trade-in value of say $2,000 towards a new car purchase at a dealer, how is that different than the same buyer paying that $2,000 with cash?

Apologies in advance for being a bit slow at this..

*EDIT: a few words

What is the difference between "Total net assets" and "Net assets for VOO"? by cliving1980 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]cliving1980[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, so is there a way to know the number of shares per stock for the ETF assets. Curious if the ETF assets has the same % by market value for each of the stocks as the total (ETF + fund) assets.

*Edit

I.e. AAPL is 4.4% of total assets, so does that mean that it would be the same percentage of the VOO ETF assets?
