I invest based on fundamentals and long term outlook.

Prove? Who cares about prove sounds like you're the one looking at this like a sports team. I'll ask another way what is your most heavily weighted stock.

Through most brokers they will let you choose between re-investing the dividend and getting more shares (or units in the case of an ETF) or take it as cash. It will be deposited into your investment account.
This is a good read: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/dividend.asp
Everyone was a newbie at some point.

Do you use moving averages?
Short term ones can give you an indication of what's what. They do swing wildly, so best to use them in conjunction with other indicators (RSI).

Yes but lately I feel like the usual indicators are basically useless. I was pretty sure COIN was going to bounce of $100 now it's bouncing off $50.

I think it's best to take a long term right now, set a budget and slowly invest in companies you like and expect to lose money tomorrow but win in the run.
The water level in the ocean is retreating no use trying to time the low point.

Hard to disagree. I think with any of it it’s not to get the timing perfect, but rather, good enough. The way I see it though, is the markets haven’t fully accepted the full brunt of interest take hikes. A recession is more or less a certainty. It’s a question of how bad will it be and how much will rates rise to mitigate the impact of a recession. Things seem to change monthly where the key rate a year from now can be 3%. Three months back the high was 2%.
All this means for me is personally holding off purchasing more until at least July/August. I put in quite a bit on a slight banking dip in March and regret it completely as I’m down 10% on that. Plus what I had in before. If by some stretch I need that money then I’d lose. So timing it a bit is certainly important as you don’t want to buy when there’s still solid downside. At least in my view.

There are actually a lot of unsettling similarities between now and the late '60s in the US. Very low unemployment, supply shortages, the central bank maintaining stimulus policies well past when they were needed in the prior years, large deficits, and eventually the beginning of high inflation. Essentially, monetary policy had pushed for faster growth and higher employment than is consistent with price stability.
The S&P peaked in November 1968 and then lost a little over 30% of its value by June 1970. It bounced back up to its previous high by mid-1972 but then dropped by almost 50% from late 1972 to late 1974 before slowly recovering and plodding along until the early '80s where it starting rising again. But if you adjust for inflation, it took until 1993 to reach the 1968 peak again.

Again, it does not work that way. Whether VW 'overtakes' Tesla or not (your word, not mine), does not make it a good, or bad, stock.

At least in the 60s they got some output by spending their way out of it and actually got something.
This time around they simply flooded the market with cash and have nothing tangible to show for it.
That's the big difference for me.

I used the bounce yesterday to unwind most of my SPY purchases and move back to cash for now. Seems like lower is an inevitability at this point. Target got smashed this morning and it seem like the only safe zone is oil and gas right now.

Not stocks but I figure some here might know.
Is there anywhere local one could buy a Maple Leaf gold coin in Calgary? Maybe 1/4oz or 1/2oz?
Maybe a bank? TD has them on their website, but not sure about local. Or would ordering online be better?

I don’t know about local (I’d check Albern?), but Canada Post sells gold coins as well. I think you’d have to order them though.
