XEQT anyone?

I'm thinking of getting in for longterm savings but i dont like the idea of the trading fee for each transation
I have money a bit all over the place so i think i need to consolidate.

I’m all over XEQT. Pennies in commission to buy at QT, and 5$ in commission on the sale.

VFV.TO has been a solid performer for me recently. Sold off a few to clear a debt that’s annoying me.

Both have done well for me however for S&P 500/ Nasdaq in TFSA and my cash account (non registered), I like HSX /HQS as both do not pay dividends and thus avoids US withholding taxes those stay in the investment for better growth and tax efficency

Also hold VUN (total US market)

i like that...maybe ill consider wealthsimple, yet another platform/account LOL

i've got investease (just MF), direct investing (stocks and other things) which is similar to investors edge and another basic investment rsp where i can put part of my bonus towards (also MF but i dont really touch it otherwise)

Wealthsimple has been great for me the past few years. They have a cash account now for daily purchases, and it pays percentage in interest monthly. Unless you truly need to go into a bank for a human, I believe Wealthsimple combined with Simplii (or another free chequing account) is the best. I was leaving money on the table by having to keep the minimum at Scotia to avoid paying the monthly fees.

Dfn was down over 25% this morning which pushed it into no dividend territory but recovered to -5%. I was down $30k at one point this morning. Meh. It's not lost unless you sell.

But did you buy at the dip?

Hell no. Dfn with no dividend sucks hard. I've been in that purgatory before. Then I tried to set stop losses to avoid it again and locked in losses on quick bounces. Now I just let it ride.

Dumped DFN split a long time ago thankfully.

On my side
CIBC opened -12% then settled on -4.6 % very quickly.

EIF was also down but got back up -4% after a big initial drop

CIBC is now over priced as it had a + 45% YoY performance

No contribution room or cash in my RRSP/ RRIF so could not top up

Not a good day for everyone

I somehow managed to buy VEQT today at the dip.

Initiated a transfer last week and it came in on the weekend.

Figured I’ll just buy and with sheer luck it had been during the lowest point today.

Not much, but I’ll take it.
