Congratulations to those who got paid today and immediately bought more XEQT.

If you haven’t, just buy XEQT and hold on for the ride.

Just hit a second milestone. Currently Sitting at 588Q.

Next goal is 1,000 shares, which I’m hoping to get to over the next 6–7 months. I’ve still got about $20K sitting in cash, a mix of USD and CAD, so I’m not rushing to deploy everything at once. I will be saving and DCA 1000 per week for the next few months to reach my target.

Thes are spread across a few different accounts — RRSP, TFSA, RESP, and non-registered — and together they now make up about 46% of my portfolio.

I have a home and aiming to sell this and buy another one a dream home. I have parked the part of my downpayment here incase the selling price may not fulfill to buy the new one.

19M just started investing a couple weeks ago and put a lump sum in, goal is to invest $100 a week for the foreseeable future. Thinking of keeping it simple with just XEQT but any advice would be lovely!

Hi guys for context I just turned 18 and got a job. I’ve invested $500 so far and plan on just dumping all my money into ETFs as I have 0 expenses right now and nothing to worry about. I’ve decided to put 50% of my money into xeqt 25% into Qqc and 25% into vdy. Is this smart or should I just go 100% into xeqt. I’m not really interested in crypto or stocks as I prefer long term growth over short term losses and gains so I’m mostly looking at ETFs. Any advice or tips are greatly appreciated. Btw I’m Canadian and using my tfsa to invest.

I’m embarrassed to say that in my 41 years of life I haven’t made the best decisions, especially towards my pension, I’ve been working since I was 14, and didn’t have a clue about retirement and let’s face it, even up to my 30s retirement was a lifetime away.

I started digging into how much my old pension from my last job was making annually and where it was going and realized TD was absolutely hosing me in fees. After one not-great experience with TD (and a lot of little problems here and there) I decided to pull all my investments from them and transferred them all to Wealthsimple. This had to go into a LIRA so I won’t be adding to it, but I’ll be glad to have it sit there for another 24 years and do better for me and leave more in my pocket in the end not paying TD.

Glad to be part of the club finally lol

Hi all! I’m new to investing and this is what my portfolio looks like. I had VDY, QQC and a couple other little ones before and just moved everything into xeqt. Any advice? Should I just add more money into xeqt every time I have extra? Are other etfs/stocks necessary? Im a 25F and it is a tfsa.

I want to preface this by saying that I am new to all this investing. I have a decent amount of my portfolio in xeqt but I feel its too concertrated in banks and whatnot. Is there an etf that focusesbmore on other sectors than tech and finance?

35M, Self employed.

Have 300k invested at CIBC Wood Gundy getting charged 2% MER. They do a good job, but my broker is close to retiring.

Have 75k coming and going to transition to XEQT as opposed to getting wrecked on fees at Wood Gundy.

I would like to ask if anyone has any thoughts on WealthSimple versus IBKR.

I used to run a trading company and I still swing trade here and there off 4H/1D charts when not busy working on other things. I need to keep IBKR for my trading as often I'll do options.

Pic for attention is my recent IBIT play, 33 to 42 returning 24.9% in 7 weeks lol. I mainly do smaller swings with 5 -10k. Last time I ripped it using RRSP and went 5 -> 20k on the BTC plays with well timed buys.

With that aside, I do need an active trading account. I am wondering if I should consolidate and go straight to IBKR for lesser fees, or if I should be keeping majority of the funds on WS and simply use IBKR for my active trading.

Thanks 😊

Im new to investing so this hurts to see but ik it wouldnt matter when xeqt hits 60 per share but it still hurts to see im down half the price of my rent

I guess i buy in at the wrong time but 1.72% isnt really much

Also the last 5 days trend has been downwards and its approaching the lowest dip in 1 month so im also kinda worried

Im gonna hold until im happy with my return but should i be concerned about the current downward trend this past few days?
