    I Don’t Like PayPal, But I Might Invest in PayPal

    Byadmin September 11, 2023September 11, 2023

    PayPal is one of those companies that I have a bias against. I don’t remember precisely when my dislike for PayPal started. If you go back ~20 years, I bet I was using PayPal in the very early days. It was basically the main way people could buy things on eBay. I used to buy…

    Investing in YieldMax ETFs

    Byadmin September 10, 2023September 11, 2023

    When I first heard that there was a Tesla ETF that was returning 68% annually, my immediate reaction was that it had to be a scam. There cannot be a natural “68%” return on investment. Most of that had to be the return of capital, and the ETF would be worth nothing within a year….

    Individual Stocks

    Byadmin September 7, 2023September 7, 2023

    Over the past year, I dabbled in some individual stocks but eventually got out of them. At one point over the past year, I owned Manulife, Great West Life, T Rowe Price, and Intel. But have since sold them all. Some were sold at a profit and at least one at a loss. (Intel broke…

    Should I Consolidate?

    Byadmin September 6, 2023

    So I found a cool tool to visualize a portfolio called “Portfolio Visualizer”. I did my best to add my investments to be analyzed but I couldn’t add them all. I didn’t add any ETF that was less than 2% of my holdings. And I couldn’t find some of the ETFs, so I had to…

    Diminishing Marginal Utility of Wealth

    Byadmin September 1, 2023September 1, 2023

    I was recently thinking about my portfolio and particularly my aversion to risk. In the past, I’ve told myself that I would be happy earning a nice, safe 6-8% per year. I didn’t need the 12% long-term stock market average or more risky 20%+ returns that real estate and other investors seek. That’s because one…

    My Top 5 Largest Holdings

    Byadmin August 30, 2023

    I haven’t considered this for a while, but let’s look at my current top 5 holdings and see what I like about them. I will ignore the Money Market ETF, BMO Money Market Fund ETF Series (ZMMK.TO) for this list. This is just earning a bit of interest on my cash and is not a…

    Reached a New Milestone

    Byadmin August 29, 2023August 29, 2023

    You have to celebrate the little milestones, I guess. Do you know that feeling when driving a car, when the odometer ticks over from 99,999 to 100,000, and that feels like something significant? Even though it’s not? I just looked at my investment portfolio and saw that the odometer ticked over to a new round…

    Cash Is the Worst Investment?

    Byadmin August 29, 2023

    I watch a guy on YouTube, Ben Felix, who talks about investments. Ben is very research-focused, and each of his videos delves into some long-term study on investing that has some exciting results. Much of that still goes over my head, and I wish someone Explained It Like I Am Five. His latest video shows…

    Pushing More into the Markets

    Byadmin August 10, 2023August 10, 2023

    Today, I made progress by a few yards. In fact, I made a first down! I reduced my cash balance by 7%!!! Specifically, I was buying the Vanguard FTSE All-World Index (VWCE). As well as a couple of other index and high-dividend funds of SCHD and UMAX. The FTSE All-World index covers 90-95% of the…

    Another Inch of Progress

    Byadmin August 3, 2023August 3, 2023

    This is probably dull content. Sorry. But today was a bit of a red day on the market. That means it’s time to push a few more bucks into index funds. My investment mix yesterday was: The latest mix is: I’ve been watching videos that have reinforced my feeling that index funds (particularly VT, the…
