If you really understand risk management you shouldn't have a problem.

I got stuck moving money peer to peer. I sent a cheque drawn on a BMO US dollar account to my landlady in the US. Her bank wouldn't cash the cheque. In order to cash the cheque they would have sent it to collections and charged her a fee. ($50 I think). I couldn't sent an interac e-transfer...

Bollocks?? :) Try to move dollars from a Canadian US dollar account to someone in the US. Got a friend in the US? Send him 10 bucks. I have the problem solved but it's a work around. Nothing easy. I have a US dollar credit card for online purchases. The problem is peer to peer, which crypto...

Why would you need a credit check? Broker will only give you margin on the account balance and believe me they won't let it go to zero.

Done that. Plus have a US dollar credit card that I can use while I'm there. Bitcoin might have been simpler but it's tough to get us old farts into anything new. I'm all for change as long as I don't have to do anything different.

It's been a while since I had to borrow money, but at one time anyone with a job could get an unsecured line of credit. If you are personally liable it's not really an unsecured loan. The interest rate would have to be less than what you reasonably expect to return.

I guess that would work but there are fees involved and I'm trying to move US dollars to the US, not Canadian pesos. You get beat up twice with the fees and the exchange rate. I have a US dollar account with a Canadian bank but it takes 10 days or so for a cheque to clear as Canadian and US...

Thanks for sharing

What are you scanning for that brings these stocks to the top.

A sawmill that wants to lock in todays price.

Well I guess with the Canadian government seizing bank accounts it might be a safe method of keeping some of your networth in your own hands.

Ah; It's a new service with BMO. (Jan this year;maybe in response to crypto) I had my problems a few years back. I opened an account with BMO Harris in the US to solve it.

Well I had to send a security deposit to my landlady; Can't send an e-transfer between countries. What bank do you deal with? I couldn't get a Canadian bank to transfer money to a US bank.

Ever tried to cash a cheque drawn on a Canadin bank in the US. (Even if it's a US dollar account) Especilly if it's a regional bank.

A solid trading plan should answer the question "What the Hell do I do now?"

Keep asking yourself why. Why did I feel the need to do something? Be like an annoying little kid and reply to any answer; Why? When you get to the point where you answer, "because it's part of a well thought out plan." you can answer the next "Why?" with "Because that's how I make money."...

OK I'll back off a bit. The questons are for you to ask yourself. I know that when asked a question I'll try and rationalize what I've done so that it makes sense to others and might not be the real reason I made a decision. Just by your posts I can imagine that you are going thru the same...

Quite a few meet that criteria, what made you choose PSA? If I'm getting on your nerves let me know and I'll back off.

What boxes did PSA check that made you pick that particular stock.

It's the process I'm asking about. Why did PSA show up this morning? What led you to look at it? Are scanning or getting suggestions online or listening to some talking head on TV?
