I agree with this part. Two points: 1) My first house....six months after I paid for it the value dropped 25%. That meant it was only worth the mortgage and I'd lost my down payment. Ten years later I got back half my down payment but still sold at a loss. The next house, after 18 years is...

No. For many reasons. Credit report transactions don't need instant turn around so you can mine off peak, plus the volume of transactions is much less than currency transactions....just to name a couple.

I do think RBC's idea to use blockchain for credit reporting is an excellent example of how to use blockchain successfully.

PPG is a useful stat. Its not the only relevant stat.....but in my experience it correlates well over time with players performance.

Putin is looking to protect his money. He wants to get rid of the Magnitzky act.

The problem is timing. If this continues, someone will be left holding the bag. If bitcoin is to have long term value it can't continue to inflate the way it is. If you get in and out as SC suggests you'll be fine.

Leafs have a ways to go defensively no doubt. Playoffs is also a completely different level of play. Matthews is something special. Great kid and family also. Same can be said of McDavid.

I'm not an expert...but my understanding is this.... With a Stop Loss order in the scenario you represented your shares would be sold at $2. With a Stop limit order your shares would not be sold(assuming you put the limit at lets say $9.50). In my opinion the bigger issue with ETF's is flash...

Just curious.....(and not looking for a political discussion a la the politics forum)....what possible scenario do you see where you'd prefer to move to the states?

I think this is a great plan. Completely retiring with 1M might not cut it depending on how the future goes....although it could work out for you. Supplementing with income from work you enjoy is ideal. I'd be careful not to expect too much from your investments that you take on too much risk.

I don't think anyone can answer that for you. There's no question the markets as well as real estate are on a prolonged run, so do you wait for a correction for one or both? I don't think its the time to be all in, but that doesn't mean you should cash out completely either.

One has to believe that grandma wants you to be happy. Maybe give her cash for her birthday and ask her what she's going to do with it.
