BRM.V 10.8%
BRTL.V 6%
CAF.V 5.9%
XSP.TO 3%
XQQ.TO 2.6%
AHC.TO. 2.2%
CWL.TO 2.1%
HMM/A.TO 1.5%
AWI.V. 1.5%
MR/DB/B.TO. 1.5%
NIF/UN.TO 1.3%
Then a bunch of random stuff (including a basket of Canadian REITs) below 1%

Yeah because Moderna would have easily raised $1 billion in the private market to develop this vaccine. Seriously, go back to the politics forum.

Dundee increased their offer for the Series 2 Prefs to $19.50, a fixed price, plus will take up as many shares as are tendered, so no prorationing. As an added bonus they will also pay a prorated dividend of 26 cents. So $19.76 with an expecting closing of September 10th. Trading at 19.30 now, so an annualized return of around 40%. Not too shabby.

This thread got did not get anywhere near the traction as the "will s&p retest the lows" thread 'cause it just screamed obvious troll.

I think the bigger news over the past couple of weeks that the market is completely ignoring (not pricing in) is the rise of Biden in the polls. A Biden win would surely lead to an increase in the corporate tax rate and reduced earnings. This could end up being more consequential than a prolonged fight against the virus.

Bought VFV (S&P index fund) using about 5% of cash reserve. Never bought the broad index before but decided to dive in today with a starter position.

Just a shade under 20% for me. First year since 2011 I underperformed the major indexes. Held anywhere between 10 and 25% cash for the year but mostly was held back by a few big mistakes coupled with deep value stocks really lagging.

Thank you for that post writser as so much resonates with me and I don't even have a child (although I was taking care of my 2 year old niece twice a week in the Spring to relieve some pressure on her WFH parents).
As for myself, I was up 30% on the year. I had actually sold a bunch of holdings in January/February as the market was looking a little frothy. This ideally positioned me for the March drop but unfortunately everything just moved so fast that I never had the opportunity to fully take advantage (other than a bunch of quick in and out swing trades). Most of the year's gains came from purchases made in June/July as things settled down and as I was able to pick away at some market laggards.
