    Gains can also be taxed at your marginal tax bracket too..preferred shares on the other hand get the capital gains tax credit. REITS also get a favourable tax treatment.

    I don’t try and time the market, 60% equities (about 20% Canadian 20% US, 20% overseas stuff ) 40% safe stuff, Corp laddered and govt bonds, REITS and preferred shares. Set n forget, rebalance once/year to maintain 60/40. 2008 people that panicked solidified their losses..like 30% or more. Me? Within 18 months regained all losses and came out on top with an 18% gain. So what’s the lesson? Even if the Dow takes your hypothetical beating, bear markets are short lived. Just stay invested, rebalance and fugetaboutit. Statistically do you know who’s accounts do the best? Dead people’s.. that’s right, grammas accounts that haven’t been touched in thirty years often out perform idiots running active mutual funds..lol

    The economy has been smacked by covid, people are going back to work and so up she goes…the Dow will be pushing past 40.. Meh, I made 7.4% last year and it was kinda a crap year, so far I’m up over 15%, if there is a pullback I may only finish up the year at 12%..oh darned.

    Y’all left over 80 billion dollars worth of military equipment and weapons…clearly the powers that be never listened to their mama when she said “pick up your toys!”.

    Maybe they should head to the tourist spot of Afghanistan and share their views..loudly .

    The Russians where only in Afghanistan for what? 5 years? They don’t exactly follow Geneva conventions or rules of engagement and even THEY said “fuck this place” and left after 5 years. No not us..20 years all for pretty much nothing. Sure they eventually killed Bin Laden but seriously. If you are going to go to war in a country you just go in, kill them until they are tired of dying and then …leave. You don’t build their roads and schools and all that crap. Just kill them mercilessly to show them AND the world “don’t ever fuck with us again”….instead you get to wait for the next terrorist threat because the insurgents think you are weak andddd depraved..and they in their minds hold the moral high ground. Good luck with that next time.

    You mean like this? The Situation in Afghanistan Is Much Worse Than You Realize - by Thomas Joscelyn - Vital Interests VITALINTERESTS.THEDISPATCH.COM The U.S. military is downplaying the Taliban’s gains, and the U.S. and U.N. are pretending there is a viable peace...

    You wonder? Let me spell it out for you…fuck yes they will, what part of they have been waiting for 20 years for this power vacuum did you not understand…same bullshit that happened in Iraq with Isis. Meet Isis 2.0…

    Peter…it is Pakistan that is funding and supporting the Taliban. They were just biding their time for the last 20 years for us to pull out. If you recall..whenever UN would share intel with so called ally Pakistan about a bombing run or any mission at all the targets were “miraculously nottttt there. When they didn’t share intel? Click click BOOM!

    You mean like..don’t remind people that the best way to fight terrorism is to simply take their money away? Like what if the El presidente declared a “real war on terror” and started by NOT buying oil from the Middle East and ohhh I dunno..getting all its oil imports from sayyyy…CANADA!? Hell you could even totally stomp environmentalists concerns by declaring it an anti terrorist defence initiative and national emergency measures act. Derp?
  17. Jules Troy
    Canada has oil eh…lots of it. Maybe this time instead of begging the US if we can pretty please build a pipeline to supply you…maybe the US can pay for us to build it for you…

    The mask does absolutely nothing to protect you, if you have symptoms it MAY protect others from catching whatever the fuck you might have. So common sense prevailing you’d think “hey I feel like shit I better just stay home”. If feeling healthy I’m like “fuck ya all I’m not wearing that.

    They all deserve to get crushed. Consequences…. These behemoths obviously never heard the phrase “Don’t bite the hand that feeds you”.

    Wish we had jackpots that large in Canada.. One of the GOOD things about Canada, if you win the lotto it is 100% not taxable until of course you invest it, or put it in the bank(the crap interest is taxable)

    Fuck Biden I hope he strokes out, old demented cunt. He should have some family father/son time. Maybe they can bond by smoking crack together.
  22. Jules Troy
    Some of us just want to be left alone. I’ll be retiring soon and will be getting the fuck outa here..
