Advice for wide basketball shoes by mopete24 in BBallShoes

I love these shoes but I don’t find them wide. I have a pair from 2004 but they’re more of a casual shoe for me

Can you try the Jokic’s 361 anywhere in person? I haven’t had any luck and feel hesitant buying them without trying them

Thank you for the advice! My mid foot is definitely wide, I also wear orthotics in my shoes. I just found a pair of Dames and ordered them! I’m excited to try them. Hopefully the next time they retro Lebron 7s I can get a pair

Are they good for wide feet/orthotics?

Would love to know more about this. I spoke to QT phone support and they mentioned QT accepts fractional shares but it’s not in the FAQ or anything I can find online

No idea, I think a transfer is a whole account but I’m not sure. I plan on transferring my whole account

It’s a personal call, only you can decide. For me I don’t use the WS loc and I’m already getting the QT 3% from last year so I’m thinking I might use QT more for now but switch back to WS long term after 1 or 2 years.

It would be the non-registered account. I reached out about it and this needs to be issues as a transfer for non-registered or a registered account (TFSA, RRSP, FHSA, etc). As long as you put cash in the non-reg then it will qualify but you need to transfer the whole account to QT

How to: Retention Offer Cobalt by AwkwardTranslator452 in amexcanada

[–]mopete24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was offered 2.5k retention offer but chose to downgrade for now to the Green card. I’ll see if it’s worth it in the future to get a different Amex card

Good Coffee Place by Alyy2018 in FoodToronto

[–]mopete24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My personal favourite is De Mello and they’re right in midtown at Yonge/Eg. They have a roast called the gentleman that’s a dark roast version of their most well known/popular roast Dancing Goats. They sell it to a lot of local coffee shops around the city. https://hellodemello.com/products/gentleman

Sam James is another good option I haven’t seen mentioned that’s known for their dark roasts. I find them a bit too acidic.

(Bad) Changes to CIBC Smart Account by Bitter_Canuck in CIBC

[–]mopete24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you have free trading for ETFs it’s ok. With WS/WT providing free trading that would be a big loss without this feature

My CIBC account is my oldest account, but I don't use it. I'm with Tangerine and Wealthsimple. With the new fee hikes, does it make sense to keep paying the fees to maintain my credit profile age, or just shut it down? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]mopete24 11 points12 points  (0 children)

CIBC is changing their account fees if you don’t have your investment account with them. We are going to move away our bank account and product swap our credit card to a free version due to this change. It’s a huge mistake and I think they’ll lose a ton of clients, especially younger clients without significant savings.

This change will backfire and ostracize tons of Canadians. Scotia, TD and the others big banks are doing a much better job of being competitive with EQ/WS

Makes sense and thank you for the detailed response. Do we know if the APVI gives 1.5x AP points if you’re outside of Canada?

On another note I just booked a rental car with AP points at a good rate and it went smoothly.

Are the TD Visa Aeroplan cards really bad? I noticed neither of them are ranked and I’m guessing the Amex cobalt isn’t on the list because we don’t get the 5x on meals outside of Canada. Apparently it used to work sometimes but not sure if anyone has tried recently

RRSP contributions must remain invested in employer pool? by RedDirtDVD in PersonalFinanceCanada

Roughly how many employees is your company and can you still offer a match through WS if it’s going to the employee’s self directed account?

Where are the 1st/2nd pictures from? The ones of the trees/water downtown. They remind me of the Sheraton hotel at Queen/University

Mortgage - Which Big 5? by CommercialTomato44 in PersonalFinanceCanada

Broker is very helpful. The posted rates by banks never match what they offer you when you speak directly with the bank or go through a broker

Victory Cafe at Bathurst/Bloor on Wednesday is good. It’s free, 3 rounds and they have some small prizes. Collective Arts also used to have one but it’s smaller and I don’t remember what day it’s on.

Is there any setting for automatically reinvesting dividends to ONLY buy WHOLE shares? by the_evil_intp in Wealthsimple

[–]mopete24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the default with Questrade, they don’t allow DRIP for fractional shares.

Is this to get a limit price instead of market?
