When you wake up do you stick each others voodoo dolls and chant curses for the other to get their predictions wrong every morning?
I picture you guys hissing whenever you see each others names.
My dad gave me 40k CAD to put into silver for him as I have been buying silver since 2019 and he seen the run up.
He doesn't know anything about investing, what it's like to deal with premiums when buying or deal with getting undercut when trying to sell.
Hell I haven't even tried to sell yet but I'm furious at the amount they offer below spot.
I bought 100 oz physical for him at around 70 USD spot. I still have 30k left of his money to invest.
I'm curious if I should maybe invest into some miners or stocks for him instead so it's easier to cash in if there's ever another run up.
I've never bought stocks before, only physical, but I'm wishing I maybe did half into physical and half into miners or some sort of stock.
Another thought I have is to just sell him 30k worth of my own physical and enter the stock market with the money he's trusting me with.
Curious of your opinions and advice, what do you guys think I should do?
I'm in Canada, looking at a condo I am interested in. I am ignorant in a lot of things, including the terminology used for this, but I want to see a list of when the house was for sale, and how much it was sold for and listed for in the past.
I've seen it on videos before for other people looking at real estate, but I am unsure how to check it myself.
Can anyone help me?
I am contemplating buying this condo that's on a top floor along Bowen road. I am not from Nanaimo, but I grew up in Port Alberni in the 90s and 2000s. Moved away in 2008 and have been back in Port Alberni for the last 2 years.
Always treated Nanaimo as a shopping center and the hub where you get on and off the island from, but never spent a ton of time here, definitely not over night.
I was in Nanaimo yesterday and decided to linger around until about 10PM and decided to park where the apartment was and go for a walk to feel out the vibes.
I seen about 3 lingering homeless people in the vicinity. I've always been from small towns so I wasn't sure if maybe I should have had a weapon on me in case.
The covered parking area of the apartment building I want to buy had a bunch of homeless people writing to each other in jiffy marker, which is a pretty good indicator that homeless people are probably sleeping there to stay out of the rain. I assume as long as I keep my doors locked and any valuables out of sight, my vehicle should be fine over night if I live in the area?
A mild walk in each direction gets me to 2 different pubs the Land Lubbers Pub and in the other direction there's Quarterway, just in case that gives you an idea if where along Bowen Rd the area is.
Anyway yeah, the 2 places I've mostly lived are Port Alberni BC and Yellowknife NWT. Was in Fort McMurray for a few years but that was long enough for me.
I'm used to being able to walk home at night and not really worry for my safety, but is this part of Nanaimo an area where I should be concerned about?? Bowen Rd doesn't exactly scream neighborhood friendly but seems like other people live around the area.
I guess I'm curious, is my vehicle likely to get smash and grabbed if I have to park outside at my condo? Am I likely to have a knife or worse pulled on me walking home from the pubs?
