Short Takes: Happiness Lessons from Frugality, Free Credit Monitoring, and more

Here are my posts for this week:

The Empowered Investor

Changing RRIF Withdrawal Rates

Here are some short takes and some weekend reading:

Mr. Money Mustache tells an inspiring story of embracing challenges in living a frugal life instead of complaining and living an expensive lifestyle.

 Financial Crooks gives a detailed account of what to expect if you sign up for an Equifax Premier Account provided by Home Depot for their customers who made credit card purchases during the “hacking period.”

Daniel Solin debunks 8 common investing myths. This is a rare list-type article that is truly worth reading.

Million Dollar Journey has some advice for people making investment choices within their group RRSPs at work.

The Blunt Bean Counter explains the complex rules surrounding whether you are eligible for the $800,000 capital gains exemption when you sell shares in your small business.

Big Cajun Man reports that TD now has the capability for their credit card customers to make purchases with their Near-Field-Communication-enabled smart phones. He says “They keep making it easier and easier to spend your money.” However, I get the feeling he doesn’t think this is a good thing.

My Own Advisor reviews the book Wealthing Like Rabbits. This sounds like a book to add to my reading list.

    I'll bet there is a market for a phone app, that when you try to access your money asks, "Do you REALLY need that?", but I am too lazy to write it.

    Thanks for the mention, enjoy Aboriginal Summer in Ottawa

Short Takes: InvestorLine’s HISAs, 24-Hour Trading, and more

I recently moved some cash into BMO InvestorLine’s high-interest savings accounts (HISAs) that are structured as mutual funds.  Their designations are BMT104, BMT109, and BMT114, and they purportedly pay 4.35% annual interest (which they can change whenever they like).  However, the way they report the monthly interest payments is so baffling that I wasn’t able to sort it out in my first 15 minutes of trying.  A further complication is the following text in the HISA description: “The Bank may pay, monthly or quarterly, compensation to your Dealer at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the daily closing balance in the BMO HISA.”  I couldn’t find any evidence of such a charge, but I haven’t been invested for a full quarter, and I can’t yet say that such a charge isn’t buried somehow in the confusing reporting.  I have more digging to do before I can recommend these HISAs. Here are some short takes and some weekend reading: Preet Banerjee explains the dangers of Robi...

My Asset Allocation

I’ve resisted discussing my asset allocation for some time, but now is finally the time to describe it and the reasons behind it. I’m not holding it out as a model portfolio; I believe it’s suitable for me and not necessarily anyone else. With that warning, enjoy the discussion and feel free to ask questions or take some pot-shots. The main reason why I haven’t discussed my asset allocation in detail before now is that I don’t want readers to treat it like a model portfolio and follow it blindly. Everyone’s situation is different. The need for variation in asset allocation from one investor to the next usually isn’t huge, but there is no one-size-fits-all portfolio. A secondary reason for keeping my asset allocation to myself is that I can’t be sure I’ll never change it. For example, I recently made the minor change of switching from an ETF of small-cap stocks to an ETF of small-cap value stocks . I don’t have any plans to change my current allocation, but I may think differe...

What to Do About Crazy Stock Valuations

Image
The last time I had to put a lot of effort into thinking about my finances was back when I retired in mid-2017.  I had ideas of how to manage my money after retirement, but it wasn’t until a couple of years had gone by that I felt confident that my long-term plans would work for me.  I had my portfolio on autopilot, and my investing spreadsheet would email me if I needed to take some action. I was fortunate that I happened to retire into a huge bull market.  I got the upside of sequence-of-returns risk.  The downside risk is that stocks will plummet during your early retirement years, and your regular spending will dig deep into your portfolio.  Happily for me, I got the opposite result.  My family’s spending barely made a dent in the relentless rise of the stock market. However, stock prices have become crazy, particularly in the U.S.  One measure of stock priciness is Robert Shiller’s Cyclically Adjusted Price-Earnings (CAPE) ratio .  In the U.S...
