Bitcoin ETF in Canada

Purpose Investments, which is the company that offers what is by far the best gold ETF here in Canada, will now be launching a Bitcoin ETF. Purpose claims it's the world's first Bitcoin ETF, as the fund will directly hold Bitcoin and not use derivative instruments to gain exposure. (I didn't realize...

Re: Latest from Bridgewater

Phenomenal link. Thank you for sharing. The mention of what they call "AltCash" is something I found very enticing. I feel like there's many layers behind that term in their thinking and that they are likely keeping a lot of their cards close to the vest.

Let’s just travel back in time via my hot tub time machine and buy Bitcoin in 2010.

While we’re at it we can warn Ulbricht to not create Silk Road.

Re: ITT's or modified barbell?

We've got 3 options on this: 1) barbell, 2) ladder, 3) bullet. In the long run you're not likely to find material performances differences between the three. At least, as long as average duration and credit risk are comparable. In the GoldSmith PP we utilize a bond ladder via Vanguard all-in-one pro...

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion

One of my friends who lives in Alberta is sick and has COVID-like symptoms. He's getting tested as we speak. Hoping he's okay and that it isn't actually COVID.

Alberta is pretty much the hardest hit province in the country.

It is times like this I am thankful for all-in-one funds that mask the price fluctuations of internal components like the long bond. A little less hand wringing this way.

Re: Milestones to Financial Freedom

I am currently in my final semester of school.

When I finish school I'll switch from part-time to full-time work again. For that first year or so I'm working though, I'm planning on staying with my folks so that I can do some serious moolah accumulation.

Re: Ross Ulbricht And Silk Road

Curious and fun fact about this case. Ross Ulbricht was obsessed with the show Breaking Bad. He had it on in the background all the time while working on Silk Road. The show parallels his own story in many ways. The series finale of Breaking Bad aired on September 29th, 2013, which he noted watching...
