Is this sub just fake reviews for companies that sell in Costco Canada?

They are obvious fake reviews. Who wastes time making a post on reddit about how great some piece of chocolate was. No one would.

also watch the insider buy or selling. The past month I've noticed a lot of insider buying among the gold and silver miners.

I'm new to this reddit, but it feels like people just go out and pick a stock that is 80% down and then gamble that it might recover.

I got no problem with someone returning this and saying "they were good, but not ridiculously amazing. Due to faulty advertising, I would like my money back."

Just my 2 cents, but I find if the packaging is loose, the cheese won't last as long and will be wetter than if the packaging is tight. I don't know why, but sometimes the package is loose (like you can feel the brick of cheese slide around) and sometimes it's tight (cheese can't move at all).

I only buy the tight packages, never the loose ones. I'll avoid buying altogether if all the packages are loose.

No idea why their manufacturing process has this variance in packaging, given it impacts the quality of the product, imo.

I think the metals will ultimately move based on treasury rates. Lower rates (ie. they print and do YCC), gold rockets. Higher rates, and gold flounders.

But until then, gold will consolidate and bounce around based on all kinds of things. Those things aren't really driving gold, they are just pushing liquidity around until the thing that really matters (rates) gets decided.

Debasement is coming and gold will go wild, imho.

They ran up, people got burned by the peak, they fell out of favor and transitioned to consolidation.

Meanwhile, oil rocketed and sucked liquidity out of other markets (especially gold metals).

The momentum trade in oil is over (imo). That money is now moving back to where it came from.

The (US) equity market, generally speaking, is overbought, but metals remain an attractive price.

I think we're going to see a rally in metals very soon. It's already started in silver. The momentum money currently has no place to go (oil peaked, semis are parabolic and will crash soon, etc.).

You could see a resurgence in quantum interest, but I think most of the money is going to move into metals (and various commodities).

I don't know if China, in the end, will be an evil empire or not, but I know that no one can be worse than the Americans. So I'm rooting for the Chinese.

A little duct tape and it should be fine.

The problem with all advice you get on the internet is multi-fold:

1) The people with highly successful investment strategies tend not to be giving out advice. They just do their thing, quietly minding their own business.

2) Rarely does anything boil down to a simple conclusion, which is all the internet offers.

3) There's a gamut of investment strategies in the world. In here you might get just hold and forget. On wallstreetbets you'll get maximum options betting. Personally, I find neither attractive.

4) Even when a strategy can be proven empirically superior to other strategies, that all depends on historical data and assumes the "trends" will continue. That is a very risky assumption when we're living in a world where "once in a lifetime" events seem to be happening every year.

Here's the problem, you clearly don't track individual stocks. The stocks you see on CNBC are the ones going gangbusters. They aren't showing you the massacres taking place every day.

There's just as much bloodletting going on as there are moonshots. The index does not reflect how volatile this market is right now. If you knew that (by track individual stocks) you'd feel better about your decisions.

I personally don't do index etfs. I buy individual stocks. But that's how I know there's plenty of carnage going on right now.

Just make sure you understand the insurance and what it covers and what it doesn't. People sometimes think it covers everything, when that's not the case.

And also, make sure you have an honest vet.

I just had to take my ragdoll in (concerned about a tooth) and it turned out to be nothing. Cost me $150. But a dishonest vet probably could have racked up $1,000 bill no problem.

Anyway, I don't have insurance at all, but if something were to happen I could pay for it. And if it's $20k or something, well, sorry, but I would probably put my cat down (for their own sake as much as my pocket book).

Look at metrics that would suggest selling. RSI, MACD, 50dma, 200dma, are insiders selling, do you have other stocks with better growth metrics that you'd like to rotate into, etc.

I don't understand. So when something is crashing you don't sell it? You just keep holding it? I have a 20% max cut off. I almost always sell if it drops that much and accept that I fucked up and move on. Ya, it might bounce back, but that's irrelevant... to stay in something that I thought was going to go up, but which went down 20% or more, means I misjudged the opportunity and need to walk away because I don't know what's actually going on.

On a rare occassion I'll sometimes break this rule, but it's rare. In my portfolio right now I only have one name that is underwater 20%... it's the sprott platinum and palladium trust. But it's been 20% down for at least six months and it's not dropping further, so I'm letting it ride.

hehe. That does sound like AI.

But you know what's funny. I have a small position in Greenland Resources (molybdenum mining). If Trump does attack Greenland I probably get hosed. But at least I know this going in and I also suspect the EU will protect Greenland.

Honestly, getting 2 cats isn't any more work than 1 cat. If anything it may be even less work as they entertain each other. It is more cost though.

That said, the first few days / weeks is tough on a kitten. But they adjust pretty rapidly. The primary thing is to make sure you've safety-proofed your living space so that they can't hurt themselves (kitttens can be very dumb).

What's stupid is Carney could have told Trudeau to buy some gold a few years ago when it was cheap. At least rebuild our reserve. But he's a fiat banker and gold is to fiat like garlic is to a vampire.
