Just an FYI, calling @sle "a complete noob" is, trying to put this nicely, laughable. I'm actually a little embarrassed for you because you are a generally intelligent well meaning guy here, and that comment doesn't paint the most positive picture of your situational awareness.

You do it in the same account so you can journal over the stock, so if done that way I think you would avoid the AML concern. However if there is a concern that you're "printing the tape" with a self-dealing transaction where you took no market risk (if that's the "really bad thing"), then you...

What about doing Norbert's gambit? It appears that it's done somewhat routinely to convert between CAD and USD and if you want to be risk free about it you'd need to simultaneously enter a long and short on the same stock, albeit on the U.S. and Canadian listed versions.

Bit of both to be honest. I'm actually started out being tounge in cheek when calling myself a flaming liberal because any real liberal would consider me pretty conservative. As the party lurched right it did cause me to reexamine positions I had taken on because they were orthadoxy without...

To be fair a few of the most vocal democrats (and republicans) are a mob of lunatics! It just doesn't represent most of the party (hopefully not republicans either). Regarding the discrimination comment, three points worth considering, again you don't have to agree but I'll throw them out...

No, you're completely wrong on all counts there. You seriously need to talk to a CPA or tax attorney. I use BDO Canada for my Canadian operations, highly recommended.

So this is hilarious. @ElectricSavant's response to this was to immediately block me. It's very illuminating how hard folks like him and @MarkBrown have built this "us good, them bad" world that is so fragile they effectively have to put their hands over their ears and scream "I'm not listening...

I won't claim to have "The 5" but here are 5. -A health care system that provides affordable health care to every American. -A robust environmental protection program that requires those who use the common air, water and ground as a dumping ground for the output of their industrial facilities...

I want to respectfully push back on what I think is a very corrosive line of thinking if you let it get too far. I'm a former conservative, used to listen to Limbaugh, read all of Ayn Rand as a teenager, attended a service academy, 20+ years as an officer now retired, entrepreneur on my second...

Do me a favor and look up a timeline of Syria and Yemen would you? We can't have an intelligent conversation when one is just making shit up.

Anyone with even a cursory familiarity with macro understands that the United States is unquestionably better off with a trade agreement with Canada (or anyone else), even if our subsidized dairy farmers can't sell milk and it's so unfair, then if we have a completely "fair" situation with 100%...

My only caution is that there are fundamentalists and there are Christians. Fundamentalists are responsible for the vast majority of the hypocrisy and evil propagated in the name of Christianity, nearly 100% of it today. Christians, on the other hand, can believe in a non-literal interpretation...

Thanks for this. I personally find it highly illuminating because I too was brainwashed in the Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) system from first to fourth grade. Luckily I like to read so I was able to see a little bigger piece of the world and subsequently questioned the evangelical...

He really is rather sad. If you want to really cause him to lock up, point out to him that there's an intersection between his Good and Evil, it literally blows his mind. In my case military-good, democrat or liberal-evil. When I pointed out that I was retired military and a "liberal" democrat...

I think the most frustrating thing for me is this idiotic viewpoint the populists have taken where "if it pisses the liberals off it must be good" (usually stated less articulately and with a few juvenile insults thrown in). Besides being utterly moronic it ironically means they're allowing...

And that's a populist position, not a conservative one. Hey, 100% tariffs by every country against every other country is FAIR. And anyone with an iota of economics background, especially conservative economics background, understands that such a FAIR situation is disastrous to the U.S. economy...

Free trade is a conservative principal, which is what the thread's about. Tarriffs and protectionism are a populist position, and as such are understandably hard to defend on their merits, so you're left with ranting about puke and bizzare threats to leave, as if anyone cared. Don't let the door...

Or short the people who shop at Walmart.

I know, right. Sadly that knowledge and $2.00 will barely buy you a cup of coffee at Starbucks. Actually the cranberry co-operative is a famous operations case study that pretty much every first year MBA has to do. Depending on how well rounded your operations prof is you may get a riff on...

Ad hominem attacks is all the guy's got. Anyone who disagrees with his political viewpoint is a lazy, freeloading, unpatriotic, pervert, apparently. And when you call him on it, for example when I offered to share my retired military ID with him via private message because he didn't believe...
