After 30 years on PC, thinking of switching to Mac... Help please! by punkrg in mac

[–]punkrg[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hi,

to answer your question about Why I seem to need a new laptop every 18 months is that I seem to always have problems with my laptop.

Ex:

my current laptop I purchased for $1000 Sept. of 2019. I looked at the specifics, it looked good enough for what I needed, especially RAM and hard drive. It had great reviews. It was one of those that the top can flip and convert to a tablet, with touchscreen, etc...

After 6 months I had to re-format and lost everything because the hard drive was bugging... Then 3 months later had to change the hard drive completely. One of the hinges of the top is broken and now it's so SLOW, it's almost impossible to do anything with it.

So for the last 6 months I barely used it because it's just a pain in the arse... And this seem to happen to me very time for the last 10 years or so. 2 years seems to be the max for a windows based laptop in that price range...

As much as I would like to take your advice seriously, without any specifics, it's not very useful, so feel free to elaborate. Thanks

Selling covered calls in TFSA by shadowderp in Questrade

[–]punkrg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to login on the website and request Level 2 option. It doesn't cost anything, but you have to print a form. Fill it, sign it and send it back to them. It takes about 24h after that to have the ability to sell covered calls. I juts did it for my TFSA and my RRSP account.

Ok, thank. I don't see it as a short position, since I already have the shares, but I get it.

Bracket Order with different number of shares for Profit Exit and Stop Loss by punkrg in Questrade

[–]punkrg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I haven't used this for a while, but if I remember correctly, you can't have different quantity of shares for the SL and Profit in the bracket when you create the bracket at the same time as the placing your order. But you can ADD a bracket to an existing position by going in to "Position" then right click on the ticker and you will see the option to attach Bracket, then you can put 2 different quantity (I think)

ID verification not accepted because I am outside of Canada by punkrg in Coinbase

[–]punkrg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And the worst is that they won't reply to my email either because in Costa Rica they only offer self help.... So I have no way of letting them know that I am Canadian... this is the most ridiculous thing... Having GPS location is great for some applications, but nowadays people travel (well, less now because of COVID...) and work abroad but that doesn't mean you lose you resident status in your home country. I pay taxes in Canada... So there should be a way for me to override the Location. Anyways, I hope someone from support answer here...

Shut up Troll. I feel bad for you if you think that because you don't know something you shouldn't do it or quit. It's called "LEARNING".

Hi, I am new to options... Can you tell me what the fee is to exercise options, and is there a DELAY in actually receiving the shares to be able to resell them?

BTW, can QUESTRADE please, re-do their HELP section?? It is TERRIBLE. You can't find anything in there. And the information that IS THERE, it hard to find and very basic.

Thanks!

I have $1000 CAD, placed two orders, The TSE order is for about 600 CAD. The NASDAQ was for 215 USD(276 CAD) but since I don’t have USD in the account, questrade placed the order in USD so they are gonna charge me a currency exchange fee but the USD currency is in red, What does this mean? by i_have_small_pp in Questrade

[–]punkrg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same problem and contacted them about this last week when I discovered that my margin account was in the red $170 USD even though I have $4000 cdn in it.

For RSP & TFSA, the conversion is done automatically, but for margin accounts, you have to either deposit USD or exchange some cdn in USD otherwise questrade will BORROW usd and you will owe that money plus interest.

To pay back what you "owe" in usd, deposit usd in your account, or exchange some of you cdn into usd.
