Re: Japan Crypto Exchanges

Going back to previous question, bought bitcoin at BitFlyer Japan, moved it to crypto.com where exchanged it to other Alt Coins I also do not see Crypto as an investment, but a gamble. Considering the possible outsized returns, I put a small amount that I am prepared to lose in it. I can confirm Bi...

Re: Pros/cons/differences between index fund vs ETF

Maybe some confusion as to 'fee'? On the one hand, there may be no purchase/sale fee (no 'load' in US terms). On the other, there is what I would call an expense ratio (or management fee, perhaps including the 12b-1 fee in US terms). Yearly, and ongoing. Yeah, could be. But the gold fund he mention...

Re: Pros/cons/differences between index fund vs ETF

I have been going along with the generally top-rated or low expense mutual funds for a few years now and found they are convenient with the auto-purchasing for automating finances. But I finally happened to discover late here now that there are rough equivalent ETFs that seem to be hands down no con...

Can you start a new thread for Canadians? Crypto in Japan is classed as Miscellaneous Income. What specific issues do you face as a Canadian? Everything went well. I paid a hefty tax bill and received a bit back 8 months after filing because I paid too much. The misc. income ended up being taxed so...

Re: Buy land, build later. Thoughts?
