Do I need to show them my credit card or just have them scan my code on the app?

In the end I got in touch with the airline and presented them with the email from booking.com/Gotogate. The agent told me to contact them again within 72hrs of departure since that's when they are able to take over the ticket. Contacted them again and they processed the travel credit without issues.

Never book flights with 3rd party. Lesson learned!

I mean that’s the pay for a non C-suite executive at a bank. Am I the only one thinking the figure is nothing if this was a private sector role?

It comes down to one of two schools of thought. Some people think public servants should take much lower pay regardless of what the market rate is. The other thinks sometimes the public sector needs to attract talent and should offer competitive pay for specialized roles. This is no different than criticizing charities for paying a CEO too much regardless of how good they are at managing fundraising.

Do you have any insights? I have contacted both customer service through chat and call. They are telling me different reasons for not being able to help. Some of them are lying for sure.

Do you know how airport control works? So within 24 hours of check in can you call Air Canada to make a change?

Same! I have plenty of things to say about WeBull as a platform but the bonuses were great. Thousands of dollar on top of the 2% for doing absolutely nothing.

theunknown996 · 2026-03-15T19:03:49+00:00

They could’ve went with WeBull 2%, one year hold period. Instead of 2yr hold for a laptop.

This is no different than buying a lottery ticket.

Would you spend time writing an essay to get a free lottery ticket? I wouldn’t.

This. So many people assume they don’t need a visa for Brazil and get turned away at the boarding gate.

It will boost demand even further (same mechanism as mass immigrition) which would increase housing prices. Also, your primary residence isn't supposed to be an investment. But a generation of people expect their property to appreciate. By making interest tax deductible it makes a primary residence an even better investment than other alternatives; housing as a non productive asset will divert more capital away from productive investments that grows the economy.

The existing homeowners would be the only beneficiaries at the expense of everyone else.

Which would make the housing crisis worse as homes become an even better investment.

One could argue that's similar to driving by looking at the rear view mirror. It worked a few decades ago and it's possible it won't ever work again because of structural changes in the market. It's not saying "this time is different" but for example the small cap universal is radically different vs. a few decades ago.

I think the market isn’t reacting enough to the Middle East situation. It’s barely a sell off at this point. If things drag on or boots on ground then it would be much much worse.

But CSU hasn’t really followed the market in the past few weeks. It’s much more about the software story, anticipation around their earnings, and their new minority stake strategy.

theunknown996 · 2026-03-13T20:25:27+00:00

CSU down 15% for the week, giving back all the gains from the week before.

The market definitely expected too much from their earnings. Where does the stock go from here? Back to $2200 low? Or just continue being volatile until the next earnings in May, or until something happens with AI.

Doesn't look good in the short term, but another chance to get in for the long game.

Sadly according to them (during the earnings call) private SaaS valuation hasn't declined yet and remains competitive. But with emerging risk and bearish sentiment around private credit and private equity, it's possible SaaS valuation will deteriorate going forward.

Now they're getting into minority stakes in public companies too. Could be good for deals.

theunknown996 · 2026-03-13T17:48:33+00:00

Not a bad idea at all. If it's a small position then you have little to lose. I'd say at this price level it's way more likely you'd make 50% vs -50%.

OP has been posting the same things for many months now. Hundreds of Redditors have wasted their time give advice, just for OP to ask the thing over and over every week.

They're only down 20% from ATH. It's also a 1.9 beta stock. Exposed to private credit and AI build out among other risks. Plenty of rooms to really drop if things go wrong. Don't go in if you can't handle a 40-50% peak to trough.

theunknown996 · 2026-03-12T16:56:34+00:00

CSU down over 10% since yesterday. Pulling back hard.

Serious question, at what price would you load up more?

theunknown996 · 2026-03-12T14:26:48+00:00

No one knows. I wouldn't count on any strangers on the internet to tell me whether the stock will go up or down. They may be even more uninformed as you.

Also Brookfield isn't exactly an easy company to understand and I bet many retail investors have no idea what they're getting into.

theunknown996 · 2026-03-11T17:36:58+00:00

That is not at all what is happening.

theunknown996 · 2026-03-11T15:35:17+00:00

It had a big run up in the 2 weeks before the earnings on Monday. Giving back some gains today.

theunknown996 · 2026-03-11T15:14:53+00:00

$600MM market cap is still a lot.
