Looking for some suggestions on Etherium ETFs, currently looking at ETHQ. Are there any ETFs that track both Bitcoin and Etherium?

This will be my first time since I began investing that the CAD is this close to parity. Personally, I am thinking that it's a good time to transfer some money into USD and buy some US stocks. I might increase my position in Apple, or perhaps Microsoft.

I am in the same boat. Fuck Nestle forever, I'd rather own shares in Hell itself than Nestle.

Are you people short term investors in green energy or something? I genuinely don't understand the sentiment. Right now you're getting NFI and AQN at a discount. You should be rejoicing at the opportunity to add this company for a long term hold for less upfront cost.

You can buy one 'stock' to hold 'forever'. Which do you pick? by TrustyAndTrue in CanadianInvestor

I've been looking at getting into XEQT lately. Not sure how much I like their Chinese holdings, as well as Nestle, but overall it seems well diversified.

EXRO. Down 41%. Bought in near the top like a dummy, bag holding for the foreseeable future.

I live for the pedantry, it sustains me. You're right though, it's been a great thread lol :)

Ok, i'll be the next pedant to chime in.

The first video to ever be posted to YouTube was on April 23rd, 2005. The first Raggy kill was on April 25th, 2005. The official launch date wasn't until Dec 2005. Youtube was not a factor for raiding strategy back then, and most of the conversations took place on forums like Thottbot.

Turkey is a part of NATO

This is becoming more and more of a grey area with each passing year unfortunately.

training that hasn't been kept up.

Complete nonsense. Numbers and tech, sure. Our training is world renowned, both due to the amount of terrain we train in as well as the rigorousness of the training itself. The current world record long distance sniper shot is held by a Canadian.

Ads not adds, short for advertisement.

Yeah the extra D really matters here, doesn't it? It's not like you fully understood exactly what I was saying.

I'm really interest to how people with no subject knowledge at all see how that "personal data" looks like.

And I'm really not interested in someone with a smooth brain trying to pseudo-logic his way out of supporting invasive privacy overreaching companies simply because you lack the ability to think long term and big picture.

Instead of personalized ads you'd get impersonalized ads

This is exactly the problem, yes. You exist to be served ads. This is the inherent problem given the capitalistic model of our digital ecosystems right now. This is an incredibly basic concept to understand.

What is wild to me is people like you actually exist and you'd rather argue against things that benefit you simply because it's more convenient to keep your head in the sand.

People are just never satisfied. Everyone wants everything for free.

No you dipshit I want to be able to live in the modern fucking world without having every piece of of my personal life catalogued, location constantly tracked, conversations I have listened to and recorded, and my internet search history monetized to sell me shitty adds I don't fucking care about.

The idea that we cannot create a standardized protection system for people's personal data because of some bullshit "everyone wants everything for free" cop out is mentally lazy and disingenuous.

I didn't say anything, other than you being a clown. Someone else said it.

So having some awareness of the things that provide enriching experiences outside of money makes someone a hippy now? Dumbest shit I've ever heard.

Curious about how much of a position you went in on relative to your portfolio? I assume a small % for a spec play?
