    Easy Equities good or bad?

    You aren't gonna go wrong with a globally diversified ETF. S&P 500 while more focused on US large cap stocks, is also great. Just don't overlap your ETFs. Open the factsheets and have a look at the sectors and regions they are comprised of.

    long term saving/investment for newborn?

    I would say they are fine for my current situation. I mainly invest in ETFs and they have all the main Vanguard / Blackrock ones was looking for. If you are looking to trade frequently, I would probably look at a different platform. Customer support is slow and is done via email. But to...

    He mentioned it is tempting cause he has encountered way more dramatically overvalued stocks in his career then under valued. He said he had done it and had lost money. He didn't like the unlimited loss potential and the fact that people can promote the stock in the short term.

    Buffet in an interview said he doesn't like short selling. It was old, so don't know if he has changed his mind

    Or not looking at the cost of their products. just a change of 1% in costs over 40 years is insane.

    That's a Retirement Annuity not a TFSA

    long term saving/investment for newborn?

    Why would you transfer out of a TFSA, just for higher yield? do you realize the saving you are getting on CGT if you withdraw after 60 years of compounding from a TFSA.

    Why are we assuming that the OP is financially constrained, when he hasn't mentioned anything about that. I am giving the OP my opinion on the TFSA. Which is actually not what the OP was asking for to begin with. Giving advice to some that is financially constrained as you mention above...

    Would say you missed the point of what everyone here is saying to you. No one is saying not open up a TFSA as soon as possible, they are saying that it shouldn't be withdrawn from as soon as your child has access to it. Not many kids have sound long term financial knowledge at 18.

    long term saving/investment for newborn?

    I use Easy Equities for my TFSA. In my opinion they are fine for buy and hold ETFs. Browse through the various ETFs they offer. They also have a demo account. If you just want it as simple as possible, just go for a global stock market ETF. Would also consider putting some in Sygnia 4th...

    long term saving/investment for newborn?

    TFSA is a must, however in my opinion it is a retirement investment vehicle, not ideal for educational cost. Think that everything has been covered regarding the effects of compound interest over the long run and the fact there is a limit to contributions. Go 100% offshore in a low cost ETF...

    Where should I invest excess cash? Advice needed please.

    Yes EasyEquities is probably the best bet to get started with. I think that they are fine for buy and hold investors, which i assume you are. Their customer support is average, but you shouldn't really have to contact them often, as they have a lot of FAQs. They also have demo accounts to mess...
