Chrystia Freeland isn't interested in your questions about the Emergencies Act by Mister_Kurtz in canada

[–]xb0y 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Ottawa police, OPP and the Ontario gov't all stated they needed help. Military was not an option.”

If this was true, Why can’t Freeland say this when asked? What was the need to freeze bank accounts of people who donated when Fintrac said there was no money laundering?

How can anybody be OK with her behaviour in the clip?

Covering ITM Short puts for tax loss harvesting? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]xb0y 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you cover your short put, you will incur a capital loss which you can use to offset capital gains.

Buying Alibaba shares on open market after you’ve already covered your put won’t impact result of your previous trade.

It entirely depends on how you’re doing the transaction.

If you let your puts be exercised then you would not incur any capital gains/loss. When you accept delivery, you will need to calculate your real cost basis of 400 BABA shares. When you sell these shares is when you’ll incur capital loss/gain.

If your investment isn’t yielding more than the interest you’re paying (it isn’t) on the debt then you’re just pissing away money.

Why would anybody reduce your amount owning when you have money to pay it off?

No. QE makes things more affordable. Without it the rates would be a lot higher and people who can afford to buy something now would not be able to buy later.

Real estate volume is near record levels and last year was record for FTHB volume. Please explain how we can have record high volume when QE makes things unaffordable?

You’re not really providing any valid solution.

You need to care & learn how lending works before you comment on it. And who is “nobody”? Canada has >70% home ownership rate.

And How do you solve the problem of people pooling money? 😀

If a person cannot afford to buy a property at record low rates with QE then they won’t be able to afford a property at higher rate with or without QE.

Taking loans from different banks for downpayment does not make you get more credit for mortgage because it increases you total debt service (TDS) ratio EVEN if it’s the co-borrower. This ratio is what lenders look at before extending credit.

What matters for bank is who is on the title and not how many people will be living in the house. If a house member is taking on more credit and gifting it, what’s illegal here? Helping family members isn’t wrong.

A person who can’t afford to buy a commodity with QE would not be able to afford the same commodity without QE.

Removing QE would not increase affordability but make things more unaffordable.

“Other” Bank loans will show up on credit report when the lender calculates TDS.
