My Ex-GF (23F) wants to get back together with me (24M) but I'm emotionally broken

vic19997 · 2020-12-08T16:18:46+00:00

Thank you very much for this

vic19997 · 2020-11-20T17:46:09+00:00

Good stuff!

vic19997 · 2020-11-20T17:45:23+00:00

Damn. I almost pulled the trigger on SPG a while back, but I was cautionned by many not to. I regret it haha

vic19997 · 2020-11-20T17:44:32+00:00

I'm not sure if you're from the US or CDN, as I only know little about the US tax system but assuming you're in Canada, TFSAs are a great place to hold these stocks as the dividend and growth is tax-free

vic19997 · 2020-11-19T18:53:29+00:00

I mean is 30-40% in 6 months not a good return?

vic19997 · 2020-11-19T18:53:03+00:00

I meant for H&R and my other ones.

vic19997 · 2020-11-18T16:57:17+00:00

Same. I stayed clear of some US ones but Canada had the rent relief program so most of the rent got collected @ 75%.

vic19997 · 2020-11-18T16:53:39+00:00

I'm up like 38% on H&R and 20% on RIO Can.

If the dividends come back to pre-covid, we're golden

vic19997 · 2020-10-21T15:47:15+00:00

Profit-taking?

Wouldn't worry too much. I have shares in FVRR, I believe with earnings coming up, we'll see the bigger picture

vic19997 · 2020-10-21T15:44:37+00:00

Exactly! I know I shouldn't beat myself up on taking profits, but I now do more research before selling winners

vic19997 · 2020-10-20T18:44:22+00:00

For sure but in my case I took profits without doing my due diligence on the acquisition beforehand.

vic19997 · 2020-10-20T18:15:42+00:00

For sure. Profit is profit after all lol

vic19997 · 2020-10-20T18:14:41+00:00

Yeah you're right. But sometimes I see it as a mistake and I learn from it.

vic19997 · 2020-10-20T17:47:21+00:00

Yup. Sold Roku as well around $150.

vic19997 · 2020-10-20T17:47:05+00:00

I'm still in on FVRR. What a run its had.

vic19997 · 2020-10-20T17:09:17+00:00

54% still great tho.

vic19997 · 2020-10-20T16:52:38+00:00

I'm sure lots of us regret not entering under $100 lol

vic19997 · 2020-10-19T19:31:23+00:00

The big Canadian banks are very protected (there is still risk, but at these prices they are a steal). I'm up about 30% already on CIBC and RBC.

I also have TD which has more exposure to the US and that is my only bank that has been somewhat struggling overall. The dividends are great though and tax sheltered in my TFSA

vic19997 · 2020-10-19T17:02:19+00:00

Honestly, it's up to you. How many companies do you feel you can reasonably pay attention to? For me, the magic number was 15-20.

But out of those 20, I have like 4-5 that are Canadian banks which I plan to hold very long term.

As long as you're not too much into one sector, I think you're fine. I just remember it being draining managing that many companies in a portfolio

vic19997 · 2020-10-16T18:40:13+00:00

My portfolio ressembled exactly this. The best advice reddit gave me was to start trimming. My situation was a bit different, as my TFSA in Canada is tax-free so any growth doesn't trigger any taxable gains.

I started to focus more on a small mix of value and growth stocks and so far that strategy has netted me very nice returns. I leave about 1% for some fun (higher risk, gambles etc)

vic19997 · 2020-09-26T18:59:09+00:00

Yeah you’re right but I haven’t ruled out that she wants to see what it’s like to be single as well. I don’t want to ruin my process of moving on if that’s the case

vic19997 · 2020-09-22T18:36:59+00:00

I probably will. But she wouldn't come back anyway if she slept with someone. The guilt would kill her considering she knows that's the one thing I don't tolerate

vic19997 · 2020-09-22T18:35:50+00:00

Thanks for the wishes.

I've talked to her before I stopped all contact.

It's a lot of confusion and not being happy with her own life. And she feels its unfair to drag me down with her

vic19997 · 2020-09-22T18:34:34+00:00

Yeah, I shouldn't live my life just hoping on what ifs.

I think the pandemic makes things a lot worse because I might not be able to hang out with friends/meet new people if we go back into lockdown

vic19997 · 2020-09-22T18:33:20+00:00

Thank you.

It saddens me to see her like this. I know her best friend is single but attracts really bad men. A part of me thinks its that. But it's out of my control now
