I am in the business: CFP, RIA, FINRA OSJ, etc but only in the US. Am a nerd for information - my CPA background

Offsetting the inclusion of SpaceX in indexes is the huge amount of private capital, both in SpaceX and some other huge private companies planning IPOs, is about to make $billions of new wealth liquid to buy other stocks and investments after they cash in on public offerings. Many new...

And a certain person in the US has reportedly made over $US 1 Billion from his coin deals, and his SEC new chairman is trying to better define "fiduciary" rules so more cybercurrency can be held in pension plans, etc., and eventually replace the $US with a coin.

I would never invest in an ETF, since you don't own the underlying stocks. ETFs are very complex and not understood by most retail investors. Market makers and authorized participants make huge profits on trades that investors do not see. The Bid/Ask spread may represent an overvaluation...

I think you mean lyla's list now at www.lyla.ch. Gosh, my old login still works after years of not being there. I just did a quick look and not much current activity but lots of stuff from 10+ years ago.

Old post, but reminded me of Fred Zed, who died years ago. I don't recall the MERC board, but I recall that Fred had another board I was active on pre-terb, etc. I only recall a kind of funny name. I was also active on Canbest, The Big Doggie, and the one run by a woman, which I think is...

It is also too cold up there for some of us in the US, i.e. me in Phoenix. I had enough cold and snow when I grew up in the Minneapolis area :)

Glad to meet an almost me person. Except I said Diet Coke or Pepsi. No sugar just artificial sweetner that doesn't get absorbed in gut.

Yep those were the good days of Victoria BC. I sort of recall the names but no details without looking at my old website https://sexworkvictoria.com I am no good for current advice on Montreal since I was last there in 2000, it seems. My old website is still up with my extensive report on...

Interesting. I am more of a boring but sensual nerd. Old Big 8 CPA firm background (Touche Ross before it merged with Deloitte). Am not a party animal but enjoy personality, intelligence, and sensuality in a woman. When I go to strip clubs, I have my Diet Coke or Pepsi. Never smoked or...

Decades ago, I took trips to Vancouver, but I much preferred Victoria (and the beautiful crossing by boat). BC ABC has very restrictive rules on strip clubs and massage places. There still is Number 1, I believe, but options are very limited compared to Toronto (or Montreal). I also didn't like...

For about 30 years, I have had no interest in downtown Toronto. I enjoy Mississaguga near all the strip clubs I have an interest in, massage places and now most escort agencies have incalls all over the Sauga area. Also, the Marriott I stay at is almost half the cost of downtown, and I hate...

C36 Supreme Court Decision = BAD ? https://decisions.scc-csc.ca/scc-csc/scc-csc/en/item/21132/index.do Someone with a more legal mind needs to interrupt this. From a quick read and a summary I saw, it seems bad for drivers and agencies. I believe Kloubakov was a driver. He lost his appeal, and...
