I'm not into the fancy exotic stuff. Just a bread and butter investor. If I like a stock, I buy it. If I don't like a stock I sell it. No, I never won a Nobel Prize.

Keeping it “simple” is not a bad thing Darts. That why I included a warning. Some retail investors do dabble or get into options. Either as a way to place bets, or hedge their stock positions.

I was rooting for TD. It is down by about six percent today and hasn’t been doing well.
Considering it is a well established bank in a protected industry, it is amazing to see. It is almost as if Justin Trudeau got his hands on the most steady country and made a mess of it.
