None of these steps are required. They’re just noise. They’re not going to get you further ahead.
More money’s been lost trying to time the next correction that is lost in the correction themselves.
>Man at my level of investing intelligence this is the best I can hope for and the odd “good job” from you every now and then would make your other comments a little easier to swallow.
It’s the same mistakes, over and over again - you can’t time the market. Eliminate idiosyncratic risk (through diversification) and keep costs low.
No matter the price, buy the market. Check back in 30 years.

lz5c87h | I struggle to see how this ends less poorly for Canada than the USA.
The CAD is inextricably linked to the USD. It fluctuates unilaterally downstream of what happens in the USA. The majority of Canadian exports go to the USA, while being a much smaller proportion of imports in the USA and the USA has more domestic production. Those exports can't just be diverted overnight.
This would come at a time where the USA and NATO want Canada to increase its defense budget, and Trump wants increased spending at the border. Canada hasn't been meeting its targets even without these added complications, where is that money going to come from? Public services are already stretched thin and healthcare looks like it's on its way to a hybrid / private model.
The Canadian economy is already struggling far more than most developed nations and is arguably at the brink - look at metrics like GDP per capita and employment rates over time, or debt to GDP ratios. The Canadian government has been doubling down on propping up the housing Ponzi scheme as if it was some sort of productive economic workhorse while shortchanging every other sector. High skilled labour has been leaving in droves and the GDP stopgap / backfill of temporary work visas has been slowed.
Real estate is already starting to lose some of its speculative power, and most other industries are drying up, what's going to happen when people stop trading property like pokemon cards?
How can any of this possibly hurt the USA more than Canada? | 2 | qhzpnkchuwiyhibaqhir | 2024-11-26T22:14:59 | null | 2 | /r/CanadianInvestor/comments/1gzzdlo/trump_promises_a_25_tariff_on_products_from/lz5c87h/ | 7 | t3_1gzzdlo | t1_lz0pis6 | false | false |
