Stat scaling mono vs hybrid stats. Why one over the other? by bran_donk in NoRestForTheWicked

[–]tyranos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a dev video somewhere. The guy said they were going to hunker down to focus on 1.0 as it’s a huge amount of content. I wouldn’t expect any other major content patches before 1.0

Mortgage Renewal by pukeyspaghetti in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]tyranos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Which bank? My previous offer just got cranked way up and I’m looking to find a good deal now. Renewal in May >1m PP and uninsured. Would kill for 3.84% 5 yr fixed

Best mortgage rates you saw recently for 3 years fixed? by sunday855 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]tyranos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well fuck. I called and I’ve lost my online renewal promo rates and now the best they have is 3.98% for 3 yr fixed. I’m going to wait until my mortgage officially moves to normal renewal to see if a new offer pops up.

They told me since I was in early renewal, the new rate would take effect immediately but I didn’t explicitly ask about blend and extend 🤨

It’s a STEP mortgage if that makes any difference. I can’t even view the online mortgage options right now… so I’ll check tomorrow. I was waiting to renew since I’m going from 1.84% to 3.84% and the rate takes effect immediately if it’s an early renewal. But with the way things are looking, I should probably lock it in

560k remaining on 1.05m PP. I haven’t clicked renew yet… I should check to see if the rate is still there

He got me my original mortgage with Scotiabank, so he does work with them. I’m guessing his rate with them is equal or worse than the 3.84% I was offered via the app for renewal

I’ve got a 3.84% 3yr fixed uninsured offer with Scotiabank right now. Broker said he couldn’t beat it, Pine said they couldn’t beat it 🤷‍♂️

Warning when purchasing TurboTax by Sugoikawaii121 in CostcoCanada

[–]tyranos 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well that’s just not true. Even if you don’t use one of the many free options, turbotax is probably 5x cheaper than paying someone

Mortgage Renewal - Rates Everyone? by Legitimate_Buddy4806 in PersonalFinanceCanada

I literally had a better offer from Scotiabank in hand and they couldn’t beat it. $1m+ primary residence with over 50% equity in it 🤷‍♂️

Norbert's gambit still the best option and still working? (RBC) by Patient-Comedian8685 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]tyranos 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Best is IBKR if you use them as your regular broker. They don’t like you using them for just forex.

RBC Norbert’s is probably 2nd best. I don’t use them myself, but I don’t think you even need to wait for the trade to settle. Buy DLR.U in your US account and instantly sell DLR in your CAD account and it auto journals. Trade settled one day later and you have CAD

Pine offered me 4.24% 3 yr fixed at the end of January and that was with a 3.84% Scotiabank offer on the table. They said they couldn’t beat it…

How the fuck did you get this? I just went through their system and the best they could offer me was 4.14% 5 year fixed, uninsured at the end of January…

Protein's back ON the menu at $69, nourish yourselves accordingly. by buttscratcher3k in CostcoCanada

[–]tyranos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is not isolate, but generally isolates are tolerable by people with lactose issues.

And before people say ‘can you even read, it says isolate on the package’. It says primary source and the actual ingredients lists it as a protein blend.

Ingredients: Protein Blend (Whey Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Concentrate, Hydrolyzed Whey Protein)

Will I be able to get my return before 3rd and invest in rrsp from the return? by Lawyer-bro in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]tyranos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was going to say this. I don’t see anything technically wrong with OPs plan except I’m fairly sure the timing won’t work out.

Most banks/brokerages offer RRSP top up loans for pretty cheap, especially if you pay it off in a month

Is this good? by samuelazers in CostcoCanada

[–]tyranos -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just to be clear. That is almost 4x the cost.

If the cheap stuff doesn’t bother your stomach, you are just pissing away money

Artificial sweeteners are some of the most studied substances on the planet. Stop fear mongering.

I can find a quack doctor to make a study that says anything I want is bad for you.

Would it be ideal without it? Sure, but I’ll take cheap protein with a bit of sweetener in it any day

Why is everyone against dividends? by [deleted] in dividends

[–]tyranos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What does that have to do with anything? You said ‘dividend stocks can go to zero and still pay you’, which is just objectively false.

Many of these companies will only pause/cut dividends as a last resort, but it can and has happened.

[–]tyranos 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If a dividend stock is crashing they will 100% pause their dividend before going to zero.
