The common complaint with the in-branch advisors is that most of what they do will be related to their own products. That's also a reflection of the typical Canadian investor, though. Our experience with a solid and robust banking system has led us to put a tremendous amount of faith in the...

There is a distinct difference between a financial advisor and a bank teller. Telling people that a licensed advisor is putting money in everyone's pockets but theirs makes it tough for them to evaluate that advice.

That's gold. That should be your signature. I had lunch with a couple of lawyers a few weeks ago and one of them asked them asked about the best place for tires for his bike. I told him to call his dentist.

Whenever you look at apps, check for the data vendor. This one uses Yahoo Finance, but doesn't specifically include Canada - so it may not include all Canadian Exchanges.

So the selloff appears to have been because of the Veteran's Affairs minister announcing a reduction in what the federal government would reimburse for veterans. They're reducing from 10 grams (yes TEN) to 3 grams per day. At times, different governments have been more aware of how such...

No you can't just go to any ServiceOntario - you can go to ONE in Ontario. If you did the test through a Recognized Authority (RA) such as a College, or RTI or Learning Curves, then you have to get the upgrade at a DriveTest Center OR ServiceOntario-College Park (and ONLY College Park).

Supreme planned to raise $40 million. It was oversubscribed and they got $50 million. Then more trickled in before they closed and they ended up with $55 million. It's all in the form of convertible debentures (very much like the Aurora financing, I think). They've go the cash to keep going...

I'm embarrassed to say that I haven't even noticed it! I just made a comment today about the horrible laugh track on the M*A*S*H.

I'm enjoying the great indoors. Joel's funny, but as TK titled the thread, I like the laugh at millennials part.

...or the opposite as people come to their senses. Opened at $12, down $0.60. Traded up to $12.45 before the freefall down to $11.00. Looks like it go sideways for a bit. Judging by the last several days, there should be gradual slope up, then a gentle slope down, then a spike at the end of...

Thanks Gary - it looks like MEG generally follows the crude price, but with less volatility than something like Baytex (BTE), which is one of my faves to trade.

Good work! I spend a lot of my time watching, but I'm restricted from trading so many of them that it's mostly that - watching. I can imagine there are some lucky and some really unlucky people that are getting whipsawed on CGC volatility. The daily volatility for a stock in that price range...

Anybody come along harbour between Bay/Yonge? Police were just taping up the scene when I went by. Tarp on the sidewalk. Some kind of tragedy no matter how it happened.

Hmmm both ours. Check the monthly reports.

The Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC) is the market regulatory for all of the exchanges and other marketplaces in Canada. Essentially, IIROC monitors trading activity and enforces their Universal Market Integrity Rules (UMIR), the trading rules that apply to all...

I think so. But why not ride the wave? This is one to trade until you can keep some for free, I think. One of the things that concerns me is the undertaking they provided to the exchange when they got listed (through an RTO with capital pool company): "The Exchange has conditionally accepted...

I got a $475(?) ticket for parking in a handicap ramp access area (front st between bay and Yonge). When I came out and saw the ticket, I was shocked, then I realized the bike was actually about 2 feet to the left of where I parked it. I knew this, because I left it close to a scooter and now...

I'm not mature enough to acknowledge that I'm old enough to be looking at dividend funds...
