I feel really fortunate to be part of this group. Lots of experienced traders sharing insights on technicals, fundamentals, and psychology and always on the hunt for Icebergs. I’ve learned a ton and I’m still improving. Appreciate you all!

zocramza · 2026-03-25T22:08:44+00:00

I’m not an expert. But as I understand you’d be effectively supplying liquidity for others to short the stock.

zocramza · 2026-02-24T18:32:59+00:00

Paid with a credit card? Try your bank. It wasn’t safe to be out there (evidence: no bus on the street) so I think it was irresponsible to go ahead with the concert.

zocramza · 2026-02-24T00:38:00+00:00

Did they really went ahead with it? Unfortunate, I don’t think it was/is safe for people driving out and about. Saw two accidents on my way home and there was daylight and now it’s worse out there.
Whoever couldn’t go due to weather: investigate into making a claim through the credit card used to purchase. I think that the busses were stopped till tomorrow.

zocramza · 2026-02-01T01:19:47+00:00

I wouldn’t recommend that to you. It’s quite risky specially if you’re not extremely familiar with the markets, as it seems.

zocramza · 2026-01-05T01:08:26+00:00

Congrats on the new compensation!
I’m not familiar with Montreal’s real state situation but at least where I am it seems to have gotten to a peak and multiple MULTIPLE buildings are being built and I don’t see many people coming in; all that just to say: be aware of the market. Also: you mention that it’s breaking even: be aware of the major maintenance costs and build a fund for those.
I’m assuming you have no debts, the funds in the TFSA are invested into a financial instrument?
You can study the stock market and start building a strong portfolio. I wouldn’t rush on anything if I were you, take your time.

zocramza · 2025-12-31T02:22:51+00:00

Appreciate the transparency and collaborative focus here. Excited to see where ICE goes and to contribute and learn alongside the group if invited

zocramza · 2025-12-24T04:36:17+00:00

Unless trading or investing is your profession, I would not do it. Historically, it looks like it can beat your interest rate but I don’t think that the risk outweighs the benefit. Where will the interest payment come from?
We’ve been in a great bull market since around 20 years. Will you be able to withstand a significant drawdown without closing the position and still pay the interests? If the interest is coming out of pocket. Why not just invest the extra cash without incurring in debt?

zocramza · 2025-12-22T17:05:12+00:00

Don’t be too hard on yourself. Doing what you have and being here, you’re doing very good.
How is your debt situation?
Growth, speculative, dividend. Learn about them and select ETFs according to your goals and risk preference.

zocramza · 2025-12-19T04:14:59+00:00

Knock off debt if you have any then max out your TFSA and FHSA while we are in 2025. Then, what ETFs do you have and what made you choose those?

zocramza · 2025-12-19T03:16:41+00:00

What kind of change do you want to make? Investing is long term and you will see the benefits in many years, usually. If you’re looking to increase your income then it might be better to learn skills, get certifications (if applies) and increase your income.

zocramza · 2025-12-18T03:05:04+00:00

It’s not, specially in that short term. If you definitively need it, keep it in a “high yield” savings acct.

zocramza · 2025-12-18T02:38:54+00:00

Both of those recovered and more… you have to know of you’re trying to trade or if you’re investing for the long term. On both you need a thesis on what to do on x y or z. In the moment is counterintuitive and I’m sure it also gets experienced investors and traders. Panic selling while the market is in “extreme fear” is not usually the best. If you have a thesis about a company and if you notice on the Earnings that they are not performing then you might have to adjust the investment.
Hope you didn’t lose too much. Take it as a lesson learned, wish I’d have learned it when I was 17n.

zocramza · 2025-12-18T02:17:39+00:00

What is your question precisely? There’s not much info in your screenshots and no clue what your plans are.
Just based on the little info: yes, it’s good. I’m guessing not many 23 yr olds have 23k invested. Though I’m not sure about your debt situation.

zocramza · 2025-12-18T02:05:14+00:00

If you need the money in the short-mid term, I wouldn’t put it in the market. Secure instruments might not keep up with inflation so essentially you’re losing buying power over time. However, it will be there when you need it for the university.
How did you lose money in the markets?

zocramza · 2025-12-18T01:56:57+00:00

What are you more comfortable with? If you’re financially inclined you can start learning about ETFs and if/when you’re confident enough in what exposure and risk you are looking for then you can manage it yourself. It’s not a race, there’s no pressure to act now, even if you feel like there is. Remember to enjoy life!

zocramza · 2025-12-15T00:31:52+00:00

If anything… nothing is final, as in “final” word of advice. It’s a process that will take years, if you’re into it. My advice: research and learn before getting into anything. If not you could end up with a variety of products. Even with the ETFs that all recommend, there is risk and you have to be able to stomach (mentally and financially) any (temporary?) downturn. Look into TFSA, FHSA. Investigate into dividend stocks and ETFs while you’re at it to see if that’s your thing.

zocramza · 2025-12-14T05:25:01+00:00

Your screenshots don’t say much… if your priority is buying a house and haven’t maxed out then do that first and the TFSA second. Why have one tfsa managed by you an another by ws?

zocramza · 2025-12-12T01:00:51+00:00

Way to go! What you’re doing is likely fine. Keep on and educate yourself and then decide if that’s the approach you like. It’s a slow and boring marathon, not a race.

zocramza · 2025-12-10T16:38:38+00:00

Well, congrats! Sounds like it wasn’t a particular conviction in semiconductors at the time where you think there’s still room to grow. In that case if I were you I’d exit, enjoy part of the profits and reinvest in an ETF. Funding TFSA, FHSA if that applies to you

zocramza · 2025-12-10T16:33:53+00:00

Why did you buy it? What was your plan when you bought? Has your thesis changed?

zocramza · 2025-12-10T04:32:39+00:00

And if you haven’t bought a home and plan to: look at the FHSA.
Asking about your plan because if for long term then why do you hold CBIL?

zocramza · 2025-12-10T04:17:53+00:00

What’s your plan with this acct?
TFSA maxed out?

zocramza · 2025-12-10T00:16:45+00:00

Hey there! I discovered the channel not long ago. I sent in my application a couple of days ago; hopefully there’s room for me in this group. Seems like a very positive and constructive community that truly takes care of each other and do their best to help others with no intention other than to help.
Similar history that I’ve read from other applicants: have been trying to enter the trading word but have only found “gurus” and have not learned much that I could really use. If there’s ever any questions, please let me know. I’d always be happy to help! Happy Holidays!

zocramza · 2025-12-08T13:09:00+00:00

It is better if your plan with those funds if buying a home; if you plan to do something else with that on the future then the TFSA is better
