I'm starting to invest, what are some canadian stocks to invest in? I'm looking for safe stocks. Thanks!
DCA most of your money into XEQT. Simplest strategy for Canadians IMO, especially if you have no idea what you’re doing. You’ll probably beat all your friends in the long run who are picking stocks based on reading hockey forums :p (or doing voodoo technical analysis crap)
It’s super boring though. Feel free to take some risks with smaller amounts, on asymmetrical opportunities. You’re probably knowledgeable about something… think about what you think the future will look like in 5-10 years in that particular industry/field and then invest in companies that are early in shaping that future (and nobody in the mainstream is talking about it yet).
It’s fun and will you will learn about the emotional side of investing too. You will sell too early on some and hold too long on others.
Either way, you’ve been DCA’ing XEQT the whole time so you’re doing well.
Most importantly don’t follow any of my advice because I’m not a financial advisor.
