Why are people so fixated on capital?

    Actually that sentence would have been more like fourth or fifth to last but I decided to restrain myself. Anyway, you need to beef up your comprehension skill. That remark was not at all about Trump.

    Right. You just threw Trump's name in to add toxicity to your remark.

    Trump doesn't listen to anyone but himself. OP also doesn't listen to anyone else but himself. So what is it about my remark you find so toxic?

    Only downfall, what if you absolutely need 100 grand due to illness to stay alive, bank is not going to loan you that amount based on 20k. People everyday get major problems of not having enough for good reasons.

  5. The more you trade and the more you make, the more you'll end up on their radar.

    If you really need the income (17-year-old sports cars can be expensive to keep alive;)), or you don't care about the lower return (26.58% is less than 35.87%) or the 8th Wonder of the World (according to Einstein), then high yield, high expense, declining principal investments are a good choice for you.:)

    And, assuming "cpp" stands for the Canada Pension Plan and not the C preprocessor or something else, dividends will not increase your Canadian pension.

  7. It's not a lower return lol...BITO goes up too so even when IBIT recovers your -22k loss to break even, so too will BITO...but you will also have received 50-100k in dividends!

    You are a perfect example of somebody being fixated on profits lol. The game plan is never have dead money stuck in a position...and yes, getting stopped out all the time to try to avoid losses is the same as dead money.

  8. Not a concern here. We have universal healthcare in Canada like every other developed nation...:)

    When we invade Canada, you’ll wish you didn’t have healthcare and you’ll wish you had a 33 trillion dollar debt burden.

    Have you read any of the posts by our Canadian brethren down in politics?
    Trust me, they'll surrender long before we have to invade.
