Similar advice as previous posters: - Buy a trackball (specifically one where you move mouse with your thumb)...this helps me a great deal. - Ibuprofen can help a bit (anti-inflammatory) Haven't personally tried a wrist brace yet, I find the two previous items keep my own wrist issue in...

I agree that we are likely to see a big bounce, with further downside to follow.

For what it is worth, I completely agree. I personally feel that the primary responsibility belongs to the lenders. Nobody can get a mortgage unless a lender a) has an appropriate product and b) specifically approves each individual borrower. Some lenders have deliberately structured products...

Anyone have an answer for this?

I was watching some commentary on BNN the other day regarding short selling, following the recent changes to short selling. The investment fund manager that was being interviewed felt that naked short selling was quite common, and was glad of the changes. He said one specific thing though...

I cannot provide you with a 100% firm/accurate response, but I doubt that they are able to determine that you are a particular individual client with "x" brokerage, beyond hunches. My understanding of brokerages is that they typically hold securities in trust for you (i.e. they are registered...

Hopefully this question hasn't been covered already in too much detail, my apologies if it has. I am currently seeing some success with my trading, i.e. good control of risk, good entries, and ability to increase the scale of my trading to higher quantities of shares. That said, I have...

Great video, thanks for posting this. S&P dropped about 8-9 points during the course of that interview. :)

I would suggest two things if I may - perhaps consider tighter stops, and definitely continue to utilize stops of some form. Regarding the second suggestion, it is easy for you to look back on your trade now and see that you would have only lost "x" amount of dollars, but the trade could...

It concerns me that you want to go work for this type of firm, yet state that you cannot afford to go without compensation for even one month. I think it is critical that you have some form of backup plan and some form of financial cushion or supplementary income, this would hold true for any...

Yup, lending in Canada has certainly become quite interesting, even for "prime" loans. My personal favorite was CMHC deciding to begin insuring 100% LTV rentals, particularly at a time when I could not see how one could make that work economically (e.g. purchasing an expensive home 100% LTV and...

Sorry, bit of a rhetorical question - I personally think that the Alberta housing bubble is set to pop, or at least trend downwards.

Good article, particularly some of the details regarding the servicing of mortgages. Very good point that it can be difficult for a mortgage servicing company to adapt when default rates climb substantially.

Also worth asking another question - what about Canada?

My suggestion to you - ignore the negativity on this thread. You have accomplished a personal milestone, and your confidence is growing. Do you still have much to learn about trading? Yes. Is that a bad thing? No.

Nothing wrong with adding to your education, particularly if you actually enjoy what you are studying. I would personally be inclined to go back to school again at some point for a second degree, master's, etc. It will only make you more valuable long term.

I can only offer perspective on Canadian mortgage rates, but our fixed interest rates are typically tied to GOC Bond rates, and our variable rates are typically tied to the Prime interest rates of the major banks. That is only half of the picture though, as the "spread" between mortgage rates...

I'm personally considering taking a position in T.HFD (double beta inverse Canadian financial sector). A bit tricky to time this well, particularly with a large down day Feb 29th, but the overall Canadian bank sector is not looking very good right now, and I don't see this substantially...

My understanding is that your components determine power draw, not necessarily the power supply. The power supply does however factor in a bit due to efficiency issues. In short, your system will draw "x" amount under load, regardless of the size of your power supply; the power supply rating...
