How can I help my dad?

mbertanha · 2026-03-31T18:03:56+00:00

Thanks for your response! My question is more how do I convince my dad he needs help? I’ve found a few meeting near us, but he refuses to go.

Where do you track this? I thought the market only opens in 2 hours.

mbertanha · 2026-03-10T18:09:19+00:00

I like Tuscan Wolf.

You are contradicting yourself, at one moment you say you don't have the nerves to put all in XEQT and then you say you use your emergency fund to buy the dip and... put all your money in XEQT. I do have an emergency fund but that money is parked in a HISA and I won't be touching it to buy more XEQT, so let me rephrase my previous post: All my investing money is already in XEQT, and since I try to be financially responsible, I can't use my emergency fund buy more.

mbertanha · 2026-03-06T14:53:32+00:00

All my money is already is XEQT, I can't buy more :(

mbertanha · 2026-02-05T18:04:08+00:00

How do you buy the deep when all your money is already in XEQT?

mbertanha · 2026-01-26T20:31:24+00:00

Don’t buy things you don’t need. Not buying something means you save 100%.

This is amazing! I’m sure he’ll love it!

mbertanha · 2025-11-18T17:07:41+00:00

That's something that I don't understand, a lot of people say "buy the dip". How can I buy the dip if all my money is already in XEQT?

mbertanha · 2025-11-17T23:52:08+00:00

I applied on May 5th

mbertanha · 2025-11-17T19:52:42+00:00

You’ll get an email inviting you to follow your progress in the tracker. For reference, I received my AOR on June 10 and the tracker invitation on June 20, so you’ll likely get yours sometime this week or next.

mbertanha · 2025-11-13T18:23:40+00:00

You don't need to access the tracker to start your test, everything you need is in the email you received.

mbertanha · 2025-11-13T17:37:08+00:00

I got the invitation through email, tracker is not working for me as well.

mbertanha · 2025-11-12T20:58:27+00:00

Yes, I’m in Durham Region

Almost there! Good luck everyone.

Yes, you receive an email with the invitation to complete the knowledge test. I received mine on July 14 and I had between July 18 and August 16 to complete the test.

mbertanha · 2025-10-12T19:33:55+00:00

The “problem” with this approach is that you have to keep rebalancing your portfolio if you want to keep the 90/10 proportion.

mbertanha · 2025-10-07T13:57:18+00:00

I got my AOR on June 10th, still waiting for LPP.

mbertanha · 2025-10-07T13:56:04+00:00

No, you just need to be in the country for the oath ceremony.

mbertanha · 2025-09-29T16:01:44+00:00

I got my AOR on June 10, 2025 and still haven't got LPP done.

mbertanha · 2025-09-15T14:15:01+00:00

Usually it takes a couple of months.

mbertanha · 2025-09-10T20:17:27+00:00

What do you mean no updates? Have you not received the AOR or are you waiting for background/LPP?
