OTEX, GIL, SABR, CVET, V I'm always early. Horny to hit the buy button. So, I'm learning to nibble.

I remember WEB saying one-time, that the time to take credit is when you don't need it. Cuz, when you need it, your on the wrong side of the "trade" - you're paying big time.... Amazing to see him raise 1B with a YTM of 0.04%... like you say, for fun...

It sounds like you have an RESP for each kid. You can have a "family" resp, so, I have one account 2 kids. That way you have more $$$ in the account and you can buy bigger positions and diversify. Mine is held with CIBC Investors Edge...probably Canada's worst bank-broker...LOL. LL

DD - I'm channeling Spek

maybe approach your neighbors with a case of Doritos and one of these: https://www.amazon.ca/Purifier-Washable-Pre-Filters-Particle-Allergens/dp/B073WJDQMN/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?gclid=CjwKCAiAsIDxBRAsEiwAV76N814EJE6qlvximk7X8ivReMlOBb-O3-WkmHgmdmI9jIhOuomzz9BDdRoCvWoQAvD_BwE&hvadid=267144885509&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9000801&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t1&hvqmt=e&hvrand=7793352959613316797&hvtargid=aud-854277239427%3Akwd-297656059159&hydadcr=25028_10278448&keywords=apartment+air+purifier&qid=1579205636&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExMlJOMEc4Q1FGV1RKJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNzc1Njk3MUVTNTZWSFlJQUFHUCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMTAwNzc2RTlXWldaMzBCTlo1JndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

Thanks Rod, I owned the DC.D sometime ago. I'm not up to speed on DC. I did worry about the underlying business. I think they have a better balance sheet now due to higher gold prices and their ownership in DPM. Buying back these discounted prefs does seem like a no brainer.

any low vol Canadian pref ideas to park some $$$ for a bit ( until the next market hissy fit )? I think BCE has some monthly pays.

Has anyone seen any interesting mis-pricings in the prefs lately. I currently own AZP.A and BPO.P. I'm looking to park some more $$$ in prefs while I wait for lower equity prices. The FFH's seems to offer some value. LL

Merry Christmas everyone. All the best for 2020 and beyond. This is a great community of smart investors. I certainly receive more than I give from this board. So, I contribute to some local very worthy causes - where almost every cent goes to the cause. LL

My wife is my best unpaid retail analyst. If I had just more closely observed her shopping patterns, I'd be far wealthier. I'm learning. She hasn't set foot in Reitmans in 5 years. It's a goner.

More $$$ down a rat hole.

your order doesn't have to be large to tip off HFT. I really ticks me off - even as a retail investor making a trade for say $20K, I am always front run and my order is $0.01/share higher then the last trade. I guess my broker is complying with the "best effort" rule, but it still stinks. LL

SNC - after it was dumped from the MSCI world index last week.

No, but I will. Its fascinating stuff. But im a geek.

if you get a different answer, i'd be happy to hear what your lawyer says. LL

sure, you can manage your rich Uncle's account, your wife's account and your neighbors account for free. But, in Ontario, and Canada generally, once you are: " in the business of trading, advising and dealing in securities" you need to register. Full stop. Consult a securities lawyer. LL

bad idea, if you accept fees, you are in business - therefore you must register. You should consult a securities lawyer for more information. LL

I am familiar with Ontario and the National Instruments. I won't argue that some regulation is good - of course it is. However, the current rules stifle legitimate people starting new firms unless you fit a very narrow scope of rules ( no allowance for unusual but safe and legitimate situations). Even with the strict rules, we still have blow-ups and crooks in Canada. That likely won't stop. It would very good if we moved to the LP, accredited investor model that the U.S. uses.

Be careful, I have been looking at this for sometime - in Ontario. There are significant regulatory barriers. You will trip the "advising and dealing" in securities rule, therefore you will need to be registered and be a portfolio manager (you can't just LP like you can in the U.S. - our regulators are anti business growth and cater to the big firms). PM me if you want more detail. LL

I'll post and update on the Gildan thread
