  1. I have US cash. I'm Canadian but taking a trip to Nashville. What is the best way to buy gold bars. I can buy at a big 5 Canadian bank but then I pay the exchange rate conversion and possibly get a worse price. Is there any convenient options in the US. I would prefer not to buy online because I'm concerned about theft.
  2. Where did you find it? EDIT: Nevermind...found it at sedar. Surprised this isn't on their investor website.
  3. I own shares of MHY.UN (Marret High Yield Fund Strategies). This company announced several distributions as follows: https://webfiles.thecse.com/MHY_Distribution_Announcement_Dec_2021_FINAL.pdf?2XyIz5vWnFSPsoFQN4Sq_c2cvareJ3AU How is this viewed by the CRA for tax purposes. Is this a dividend or return of capital? If its a return of capital I'm assuming I reduce by acb to zero until I register a capital gain. I'm not sure what MHY.UN is. It calls it itself a fund but its exchange traded. I'm assuming I treat as mutual fund which is return capital back to unit holders. But I'm confused.
  4. I purchased A Sonic Aerospace a singapore company on Interactive Brokers (IB). It has a warrant which expires on April 3rd that is in the money. There doesn't appear to be a way to sell the warrant since i don't think its traded on an exchange...or at least IB doesn't have a price for it. Does anyone know how I would exercise this warrant on IB?
  5. Actually, I think forced delisting of chinese companies from US stock exchanges could create up some interesting opportunities. Like what?
  6. What other Go-Privates do you own? How do you size these?
  7. Definitive merger agreement came in June of 2020. Spread is <5%. But original advice of writser was correct as its take 3 years for this to get to this phase.
  8. I've read a Brothers, Notes from Underground, C&P and the Idiot. I would say if you haven't read one just read Notes from Underground. Its short and brilliant.
  9. Wow....you do realize that the design of the internet was the product of government research right? :) In fact when I read the history of how it happened I think it would have been pretty difficult for the internet to have been done without government since it required a 20 year incubation period where all the kinks were worked out. Actually these days I can't even imagine it being done within government...time horizons have shrink too much.
  10. There are a few things I've found working from home the past two months. I was less productive when I did WFH and everyone was in office pre-Covid. But I'm more productive now that everyone is working from home. I think the difference is that WFH employees were usually second thoughts when everyone was in office..so managers would not call you, meetings often had no conference line to call, people would not be at their desk so you had a hard time reaching people. But now that everyone is WFH you have the opposite effect...everyone is reachable easily. Its interesting to see how this will play out. I work at a bank and its pretty obvious they will save huge amounts of money on office space if all their employees worked from home. They recently spend millions training and outfitting "ecosystems" where there is no assigned desks and you just sit anywhere...I asked the person working on this why they were willing to spend so much money and it basically came down to huge savings on real estate since there would be less desks than people. But WFH renders this idea really stupid....why even bother with an office?
  11. Yes. Only ones that weren't from the screen are the cruise lines. Hawaiian Holdings which i bumped on its thread looks very cheap.
  12. Following stocks look cheap. Found them with a PE >1 and PE <4 screen. This gave 150 stocks which had valueline reports...narrowed down to the following. Children's place looked particularly interesting...no debt, high returns on equity...very cheap. delta airlines alliance data systems Royal carribean, norweign, carnival viacom (VIAC) fiat diamond back eqm midstream enable midstream brinker international delek logistics dana incorporated designer brands discover capri holdings commercial vehicle conn inc comerica caleres amc networks giii aparell gap haiwaiian holdings husky energy kohl's corp macys mednax modine manufacturing movado marlin business pbf energy dave and busters children's place spirit airlines sally beauty signet jewellers spirit aerosystems texas capital united airlines unum group
  13. The problem is caused by all of you being stupid assholes. If you were rational you would accept that to avoid shortages in situations like this markets have to rapidly increase prices to multiples of normal levels. But you don't accept it. You complain and moan about price-gouging. You punish retailers that do increase prices to rational levels by refusing to ever shop their again. You complain to your politicians who promise to investigate these evil retailers. The result is shortages and hoarding. And then you have the audacity to complain about the shortages. Its like cutting off your hand and then complaining that you are losing blood...of course you are dummy. These problems could be solved if prices responded rationally. They don't because of you stupid assholes. Its not a supply problem..its not a demand problem...its a stupid market, stupid person problem. Lineups, shortages, rationing...this is what socialism looks like.
  14. As far as I can see the stocks with the biggest cliff drops have been airlines and cruise companies. I don't know of any other companies that have seen such big hits.
