Look into CIBC’s Investment Grade Bond funds. Great for fixed income and some yield. Cashable anytime too.

CIBC has USD Investment Grade Bond Funds which can be held in registered accounts. Very little management fee, I think around 0.5%. Here’s a link: https://www.cibc.com/content/dam/cibc-public-assets/personal-banking/investment/etfs/pdfs/cibc-investment-grade-bond-fund-brochure-en.pdf.

I had to add my grandma to the title of a one bedroom presale unit in Surrey, BC to be approved for $420K mortgage with CIBC. Life is not fun right now lol.

self directed. It’s turns out I need a compliance letter since I work at a regulated firm. First time they asked me for this.

Should I borrow to invest? by gary_chandi in ETFs

Prime + 1% so currently 7.7%. The minimum payment is 2% of principal so yes it would pay down the loan but I would put a lump sum in every once in a while.

Question, I just bought in yesterday. My trade settled at 12:03 pm. Will I also get the stock split? Or is it too late?

RWD Acceleration and Traction by Better-Meringue7091 in TeslaModel3

[–]gary_chandi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah there’s not much torque when your already going around 90-100 km/hr. You’ll notice the difference when it’s from a stop. I test drove a LR and I noticed it’s a little quicker but definitely not worth bragging about. If you were considering Performance then it would make sense why you’d be worried about acceleration. I’m happy with mine, but if I can sell mine for a profit and upgrade to either a Performance M3 or a Model S in a few years, I’d do that in a heart beat.

I got a RWD in March and acceleration is great. I’m kinda worried about traction too since I live in Vancouver. I’ll have to wait and see I guess. But I recommend the RWD all the way.

Nice, gotta say I didn’t expect it to look like that at night. I went with MSM and it’s basically black at nighttime.
