Didn't think you were at all.

I'm enjoying the banter in this thread. And the advice.

Do you get free trades? I was thinking of the percentage of your investment that may have paid for the trade fee. When I was getting started, I bought a couple of shares from other investors and ‘dripped’ until I had a more sizeable holding. These holdings were then moved to a brokerage. It eliminated the trade fee and built up some decent holdings surprisingly easy. This strategy has its pros/cons like anything else. If you are unfamiliar with this method/interested I can point you to more info.

ETFs are basically free to buy. I think I pay a small ecn fee.

Stocks are like $5 minimum plus the ecn fees.

Slava / anyone else more financially literate than myself:

I have a question.

My partner has money invested with some RBC mutual funds. I have been trying to get her to move them into other financial products as the MER's on these, I find, are quite drastic and have long term effects on total earnings. Anyways I am looking at the mutual funds performance analysis which RBC printed out for my partner which shows the funds yearly returns, is the MER typically built into this percentage or do I take another 2% off that percentage to get the real return?

I think the MER is built into that percentage and what you're seeing is the net return after all fees. Some of those funds charge criminally high fees of 1.5% or more which over time can seriously erode annual returns

This. The returns are net of fees.

Take a look at TD e-series funds. You can buy them on RBC DI as well now. Their fees range from 0.33% to 0.5%.

I’m anticipating a purchase soon. I’m curious to see what happens in the next few weeks.

Can these TD-E series funds be bought on WeathSimple, not seeing them there?

Market correction ongoing. When to pull the trigger to buy? Not yet for me.

The moment I heard about the Coronavirus I yanked all my put credit spreads at whatever they were worth and stayed the hell out of selling premium.

I don't think we're at the bottom yet. Hell, I might actually consider buying put options at this point with the way the market is reacting, but volatility is driving prices through the roof.

I'm thinking in another week, but it really depends on the spread of the coronavirus. I will probably only jump in when it looks like that is under control.

Just goes to show how bloody clueless the analysts are.
Tesla was up to $917.42 on Feb 19th. Today, $698.21. One year ago, $314.74.

Low point in the last year was $178.97 last June.

I remember when it was $32 in 2012 or 2013 and I thought it was obscene when compared to GM and Ford.

TSX/TSXV are closed for the rest of the day, just FYI. There were some technical issues with order entry.

Maybe I should have said "order entry problems". The main problem being that they're all to sell?

I saw a headline about the TSX halt and thought maybe the system got overloaded. Doubtful but why not add to the panic.
