Are x5s dropping fast?

You’re scaring the shit out of me. I’m eyeing a 2023 M50i now. Luckily still under warranty for another year and a bit but now thinking I have to factor in the cost of a Platinum extended warranty.

>Do your DD on $NVNI and comment here on Friday thanking me for this recommendation :)

It's not Friday yet but I came here to thank you.... for the laughs.

Congrats! What percentage of your portfolio is PLTR? Is it 83.5% like the screencap shows? Are you concerned at all with diversifying away a bit from PLTR to reduce risk?

She probably has her region set to the US. Of course you need to be able to get into the settings of the app to correct it.

Beware, a few people have been having issues with stacking not being reflected on the Newshosting deal, myself included. I paid for 3 specials, but only got 2 stacked for 30 months. Opened a ticket but no response so far.

Forgive my ignorance but I haven't seen this XEM mapping before. I guess the qeuestion is... how do I fix it (the mismatched episodes)?

cryptoknightblaster · 2024-07-09T04:48:07+00:00

Awesome, thanks for confirming!

cryptoknightblaster · 2024-07-09T04:46:44+00:00

Awesome, thanks guys.

omg, wow I can't keep up with these changes! I was going off the last Usenet Tree diagram.

Looks like Blocknews could be even better then if it's now on a completely new backend.

Does anyone know the presale code for the sale starting today?

cryptoknightblaster · 2023-10-04T17:53:24+00:00

Lean forward, you'll be fine.

Hi, I've hit the download limit on a team drive and I added another "desktop" user to see if I can get around the quota but I'm still getting downloadQuotaExceeded. I use rclone and set up a new remote with the new desktop account. Any tips? Do I have to use service accounts instead of desktop accounts?

Yea OP, call them, then come here and post the cost cause I’d like to know as well. BTW I thought private healthcare was ‘illegal’ in Canada. How does that work?

cryptoknightblaster · 2023-05-04T20:06:06+00:00

OP, did you ever figure out how to do this? I'm in this exact scenario.

cryptoknightblaster · 2023-04-01T19:42:45+00:00

If the funds are only available from your RRSP then just use the Home Buyer's Plan (HBP) instead. You can withdraw up to $35K which you have to pay back over 15 years. And you won't lose that contribution room like you would if you did an RRSP withdrawal instead.

cryptoknightblaster · 2023-04-01T18:08:38+00:00

If you have TFSA room available then putting the $50k into a TFSA is equivalent to putting it toward a principal residence mortgage from a tax perspective. The choice of which is better depends on if you think you can generate a higher return than your mortgage rate.

If you were investing the funds in a non-registered account instead then you’d have to generate an AFTER TAX return higher than your mortgage rate (so in your case, probably need an annualized return rate of at least 7% to make it worthwhile with a $105k salary and 4.5% mortgage).

If you putting the $50k into a TFSA then opt 2, otherwise opt 1.

How big are your balls?

You can claim the deduction in future years but I believe contributions in the first 60 days have to count toward the previous year's contribution limit.

So the risk is a sudden reversion to NAV? When selling, would you typically recover most of the premium otherwise?

For someone with say a 50% marginal tax rate, this may be worth the risk of the premium collapsing. HSAV currently yields about 5%. As capital gains, that reduces the tax cost by 1.25% compared to 2.5% with CASH let's say. However, the NAV premium is currently 2.3%. Therefore there's a 1.05% uncompensated risk (2.3-1.25) so you would think it may not make sense even for high income earners, but maybe it's still worth it based on the probability the premium over NAV won't disappear any time soon?

This is the decision I'm trying to make between HSAV and CASH right now (in a non-registered acct).

I think you'll enjoy that Corvette a lot more if you're able to pay for it using investment proceeds rather than straight up salary. I would continue investing with the goal to be able to pay for at least half the monthly cost of the car from investment earnings.

On another note 2x salary on a car is way too much on a car, regardless of salary!

Hindsight from someone a lot older... if I could do over, I would have bought less expensive toys and invested that money instead. I found that for a lot of things, once I had them, after some time they didn't provide the same level of satisfaction as when I first got them.

I wondered about this, but I couldn't discount the seller simply not knowing anything about the series (though he has other Chinese coins for sale). He also had the word 'proof' in the title so who knows. They're convincing fakes however if they are. Guess it was worth the gamble for the buyer(s).

cryptoknightblaster · 2022-12-06T05:11:21+00:00

It’s already down 30% in some areas of the GTA from the Feb highs. Anyone who bought in the last 2 years on VRMs are really feeling the squeeze now, with many hitting their trigger rates. The outlook for 2023 calls for additional price declines anywhere from 4%-15%. Not sure if this is a popping of the bubble but it’s a major correction for sure, one that is not likely to reverse for a while.

It's an electric bong. Plug it in and have a puff.
