Costanza of investing?
So what, buy bonds or stuff cash in a mattress?


I was gonna say... after today I should have bought the M2CS :rofl:

Most of my energy stocks are in RRSP's.
Future me will be happy.

Nasdaq futures looking nasty. More pounding tomorrow. Not sure I can take anymore.

[Disoblige]

People keep saying #1 thing is to preserve capital which is why they sell.

I say, I don't sell because I want to preserve capital long term lol. I don't trust myself to time the market even if SPY 369 is the next known support.

It's hard to look these days. Averaged down quite a bit on a few things, but it just keeps going!!!

[BavarianBeast]

MFC and SLF. Hold n forget

These dividend stocks going to all time highs

[90_Shelby]

RIP to all gains

RVV & PTK, are you riding it out? Averaging down?

I decided to finally get into ETMC two days ago...... That was a mistake.

[BavarianBeast]

My average on PTK is 70 cents so just holding that position.

Didn’t average RVV, holding at 62 cent avg.

Bought more PLTR, myco and Numi today though. Have a bit more cash to see how Monday unfolds

As many as you can buy below $1.20! Lol

Got in at $1.21. Missed the $20 PLTR flash sale though, that one will hurt.

[90_Shelby]

As many as you can buy below $1.20! Lol

Numi in at $1.18
Myco in at $0.37

I also sold FPX Nickel Corp at $0.73, trying to protect my losses, it was headed downwards like everything else and I bought in at $0.72 a month ago. An hour later it was at $0.80.............. :facepalm:

[taemo]

hopefully green going forward and next week

I think you could have picked any ticker this morning and made money. Bring on the stimulus haha

[pheoxs]

Had some options in Canaan, was +100% early morning and sold, would've been +250% if I waited until now to sell, feelsbad damn paperhands. but oh well. It's been up and down the past few weeks.

[Chandler_Racing]

Bought FIRE (Supreme) at 25c.

I wanted to have some participation in the cannabis space as I have none.

Not sure how I feel about the management team constantly dipping into the honey pot (at market equity issuances, BMO's investment, etc.)

Plan is to exit around 45c.

[89coupe]

GME is up over 400% in two weeks.

Reddit is awesome

[sabad66]

So with the upcoming 1.9T US stimulus expected to pass tomorrow, is there any reason not to expect a massive stock market increase? Anyone buying anything in particular? Was thinking just VGRO or SPY but curious if people think specific sector etfs or individual companies might command a bigger slice of the stimulus? Can anyone recommend an Energy ETF they like?

[msommers]

I'll check where I read this but there was a survey asking people what they'd use the money for an like a third said stock market lol. So yeah, unless bond yields go way the hell up again, expect gains on tech again.

[pheoxs]

Has anyone ever had experience with their platform (Specifically TD Web broker) showing an incorrect ticker price when making a purchase?

BTCC.B (current value: 10.67$) has options/puts
BTCC (current value: 11.80$) does not have options/puts

But when I go to the trading menu, select options and type in BTCC it only gives me one choice and displays the ticker price for BTCC (11.80$) so when I bought a call with a strike price of 11.00$ I was under the impression that it was slightly in the money. The trade gets filled and now in my holdings page it says jk, it's only worth 10.63$ because apparently it bought the option for BTCC.B even though it showed the live price of BTCC.

The same happens in the research page, if you search BTCC.B and click on the options tab it shows various options/puts with a live price above of BTCC.B (10.63$) but if you click on any of them then select buy the trade menu that opens up all of a sudden shows the other ticker price of BTCC (11.70$).

Given a strike of 11$ those are two very different values and affect the outcome significantly.

I called TD and after an two hours of jumping between representatives I finally found someone had a options license to look into it. Initially he kept saying I was just looking at the wrong ticker but then finally saw what I meant and realized something is linked incorrectly and said he'd have to contact their support and put me on hold .... then disconnected on me. Sigh. Back on hold.

Either way ... what happens in this situation? Guessing TD says oops my bad and thaats your issue not ours.

Edit: See the price change in blue as I click red.

https://i.imgur.com/5AED7cX.png

[mr2mike]

I've seen it in rbc DI and maybe a long time ago with the td platform vs on the website showing differences. I chalked that up to a different refresh rate.

[FunWheelDrive]

I'm pretty sure unless you're using their Thinkorswim platform that the market data is delayed by a set amount of time, like 15 minutes.

[pheoxs]

It's not a delay though, there is two different tickers and it's linked to the wrong one. Same ETF but one is currency hedged and one isn't apparently? They seemed to have mapped their Webbroker to the wrong one in the trade menu but it settles the trade using the other one.

Sold my Air Canada shares this morning for 35% gains. Held them for 2 months
Also sold my NUMI and MYCO earlier this week for 18% gains between them, held for 2 days.

Up close to $14,000 on these ones, good enough for me, and that should pay for 3 months of fuel for the Trackhawk.

Hahahaha! Buy Suncor, Petro 94 for my rides, I filled up this morning, hence the stock bump.

I'm up a little over 20% on my SU holdings and I think I have personally contributed to 5% of those gains at the gas pump.

Nice green day today so I’m working on my next hit album.

a bio etf will have much lower volatility than the individual stocks that are going up 200%. You don't have the same risk or return in an ETF.

Choosing biotech stocks is fun. Look at prevalent health issues and diseases, the companies working on drugs/vaccines/treatments, look at their pipelines, look through the fda filings, management team, financials and roll the dice.

I'm fairly conservative with maybe 10-15% of my money in individual stocks, so even the big down swings I've had with some of my holdings haven't moved the needle much from a dollar perspective. I don't have the stomach for it and I don't like to gamble. With that being said, I trust Bavarian Beasts recommendations!

Oh yeah, my "real" money is in passive investments I don't look at more than once a year. Anything I talk about in this or the shrooms thread is play money. I'll still be pissed every time it goes down, but I need something to be angry about.

I know it's been asked a lot but what brokerage does everyone prefer?

I have experience using Scotia itrade, interactive brokers & wealth simple.

I don't particularly like itrade or wealth simple. I want to move a LIRA account away from itrade but interactive brokers don't have those accounts as an option.

I'm probably 60-70% active on my phone when trading and really dislike itrade, so that's my main reason for wanting to move away from there.

I've been researching questrade but don't know anyone that uses it. Any other options, real world experiences?

I use WS and the only reason I use it is because its easy to use and im new to self investing. I don't particularly like the delayed quotes and frequent app problems but I do like free trades. I expect that there will be better companies doing this in the future but for now this is ok.

Is there a particular reason you don’t like iTrade?

Trading with 3 or 4 brokers seems like a big waste of time to me.

[brucebanner]

I'm not trying to trade with more than one but it seems as though it'll be two.

I like interactive but they don't offer a LIRA account, so moving everything there isn't an option.

My biggest gripe with itrade is you're not able to set a upper and lower limit sell at once. It has to be one or the other. It's probably irrational how big of a pet peeve it is for me but it's one of those things.

Another day of fun with this, TD still shows the incorrect price but apparently can't fix it. 20 minutes on hold with the options trader going to his manager to discuss the issue and now filed an escalation to have the options voided and refunded and supposed to hear back in a few days. Such stupid BS, wasted probably 10 hours on resolving this now.
