Can we all get back on track and share thoughts on our portfolios, stocks, ETFs and crypto we’re targeting, brokerages, tax implications of buying US stocks for Canadians, retirement strategies and information sources and experts/ investors we’re following online?

Great investment books to buy?

Are you buying and holding or are you buying to sell for short term gains?

Anyone do options trading? Several free resources online, like this one:



Several great accounts on Instagram, offering unique views.

This guy made a compelling case for buying TD stock, which I was looking to buy anyway, but loved his arguments (esp from a Canadian perspective):



Are any of you paying for Patreon content?

Or doing private consultations, like this guy is offering but his free content is already abundant and informative on its own:



I have several interesting accounts that I follow and would love to have feedback. We can all benefit from sharing insights.

I’m told this guy is very popular for those who want insight on crypto. He has a lot of Patreon subscribers and one individual told me he made several profits from his Patreon content. I don’t buy crypto but I might try at least adding a little. Anyone follow him? Here he is on dividend stocks, a clip from 3 years ago (although I’d be tempted to ask ask him about his rockstar hair and whether he’d want to join a band):



If you found this of interest, I can share more but it would be much more rewarding if we all chimed in.

Let’s do it! ✨✨✨

I got energy stocks with Embridge amd Fortis and pretty happy about it as I get a good dividend with Enbridge.

I have 2 gold stock doing well with BTO and AGI.

My dividend stocks are DGS, HDIF, DFN, FFN and GDV giving me hundred of dollars a month in dividends.


I have started trading through the MetaTrader5 app on the forex market about 2 years ago and I am currently in a test period for 100K funding where I need to get 10% without a drawdown of 5%. After two months I am at 3% profits with only a drawdown of 1.5% at some point. The good thing about this is that I don’t have a time limit to get to 10% but you can’t go 30 consecutive days without trading. Once I am Dundee I got to keep 90% of my profits.

Thx for sharing.

Not at all familiar with the MetaTrader5 app. Is that for more advanced investors? I don’t get all the intricacies.

I’ve been sticking with basic user-friendly apps like WeathSimple and Questrade.

The following proponent differentiates between the two but since this video, he has updated content on Questrade, which I include below:



Updated Questrade content:



Essentially, he claims Questrade is better/ cheaper when buying US stocks while WealthSimple is great when buying Canadian stocks.

As an aside, this individual and others are saying that US dividend stocks should be purchased in an RRSP account in order to avoid the 15% US withholding tax. He and others are stating that the US withholding tax will apply if you buy your US dividend stocks in a TFSA or in a non-registered account.

I use Wealth Simple with stocks for my RRSP, TFSA and Crypto.


MetaTrader is a multi assets platform where you can trade currencies, crypto, indices, commodities and stocks. You link your broker account to it and trade.

It looks like this. Confusing for a while but with patience and many tutorials video and some good mentors it’s most definitely rewarding.

Any links to tutorials available free online, that you’ve liked?

So if my online brokerage app is WeathSimple, I can link it to MetaTrader? The info from your screenshot is quite an eyeful. How much has it helped guide your decision making?

I like this guy.
No nonsense straight to the point and fairly easy to understand.

You cannot link WealthSimple with MetaTrader.

At first when you look at the list(1st and 2nd pictures) and the chart(3rd picture) it’s like learning a new language, which it is in some ways.

I use price action for the vast majority of my decisions along with volume and momentum while looking for divergence.
I need to learn how to trade the news as well.

Are you mostly buying with a long term view, when using the data on your app? I guess when you meant linking a brokerage to it, you meant something more mainstream, like a banking platform brokerage.

Enbridge has several has pipeline projects on the go. How you feel about their projects ? They tend to go over budget.

I trade mostly on the 5min to 1hour(lower time frame) chart while looking at the daily direction(higher time frame).

The brokers I use through MetaTrader are Eightcap and XLTrade.

I might buy some Enbridge if market dips again. I think it might. Nice 6.9% dividend.

That dividend stock @montreal said he was buying into again, is intriguing: IEP. It used to be a $49 USD stock 5 years ago, now trading @ $8.23 USD. What happened to it and what makes it interesting now?
 
I've just started buying stocks 2 weeks ago through questrade. The markets are down so I figured to a good time to start buying. I have a financial adviser who deals with most of my investments but I want to learn and understand trading as a secondary. Working on building a foundation and then build out. Any tips or suggestions?

I have some IEP and it was a good stock with a good dividend until someone heavily shorted it.

I stay away from the IEP because it has been discovered in recent months by meme stock investors who historically pick shit stocks 100% of the time. Whenever I see meme stock slang being used in the community, it's a signal to extend the ten-foot pole. And then there is the Hindenburg Report:

Thx so much for that. The article you cited gives pause.

will the Bank of Canada lower the interest rate again? and will that push the market up?

As you saw, they’re staying the course and holding steady at 2.75%.

What are you buying right now? I’m looking at Google and some crypto this week.
