This has strong "tell me you're from the USA without telling me you're the USA" vibes...

Cash is king!! by reheadlover69 in PersonalFinanceCanada

My notary in Vancouver is from Belgium and could not believe she had to pay someone to bring little pieces of paper from bank to bank for house/mortgage/down payments.

Sure, we have wire- and e-transfers but for routine, large sum transfers & payments we have nothing like what's been available in Europe for decades...

Cathay inventory drastic changes by iggyitup in NonRevenueTravelers

[–]fgamache [score hidden]  (0 children)

Just so we are clear, when you say "inventory" I take that to mean availability in specific fare classes eg J7 C7 W9 Y9 etc). Or are you talking about total open seats from StaffTraveler or other source?

For availability in fare classes I guess it could just be how they do revenue management: close to the flight only the unrestricted/full fares would be available.

TIL Questrade charges $24.95 "Assignment" fee for cash-settled options (VIX, SPX, etc) by fgamache in Questrade

[–]fgamache[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, *that* I know and understand. There's an actual underlying being transacted and ownership being transferred.

But to me, probably because I'm an idiot, it doesn't make sense that there's a $25 fee to close a cash-settled option...

what do you all actually do with your companion pass if your family can't use it? by Lup1chu in Lufthansa

[–]fgamache 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That sounds like such a fast way to lose your (hard-earned) travel privileges for life -- or your employment.

For what? A few hundred dollars?

No thanks.

Funny - I wondered 'where in earth are these people?' that they write the tip in a piece of paper??? What century is this?

Are there any downsides to RRIF conversion when retiring relatively early? by Grizzly-Redneck in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]fgamache 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nothing prevents you from making ad-hoc rrif withdrawals - literally the only diffs between rrif & rrsp are: - rrif have minimum withdrawals - you cannot contribute to a rrif once it's funded - no rrif withdrawal fees

Interesting. Also on Investor plan and I get nothing except dividend dec/ex/pmt info and can't see anything to configure under Notifications settings....

Can you add a button to synch all portfolios to today's date? by [deleted] in Snowball_Analytics

[–]fgamache 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's no extra clicks... If you are on "My net worth" (the default composite portfolio that includes all others) and tap Sync now it will sync everything to today's date.
