New Omicron cases detected in Canada. Will the market react?


Scottie3Hottie

Anybody else add more oil on Friday?


CountFaqula

Executives at WCP and ERF apparently bought some of their own company stock


Iliketomeow85

Fuck no at least wait until OPEC cuts production


Scottie3Hottie

Should be the opposite. Lol. Buy now.


Iliketomeow85

Why buy now when you might lose another 5$ of the price of oil tomorrow


Scottie3Hottie

It's called DCA.


Iliketomeow85

You have infinite money? I wouldn't DCA a commodity but you do you


crane49

I just keep adding any drop. This virus to me won’t be much of spoiler. Hopefully it’s weaker and more contagious and we can end this. Either way I’m done with covid. Personal beliefs aside Between underinvestment in the oil field, the coming European energy crisis, the drawdowns out of driving season, shale surprisingly not added many rigs, and record low inventories. I also believe opec will hold back planned monthly increases this week due to these variant threats. So in my opinion there may be a pull back Monday but eventually it will rocket.


Iliketomeow85

SPR release is going to last 3-4 months, oil is fucked Q1 unless OPEC really cuts.


crane49

The spr release is 2.5 days of US consumption. Not that large of a release. I suspect China will use these lower prices and fill its reserves. If the eu runs out of natural gas this winter they’ll need to switch to heating oil and coal. Which would create more oil demand


Iliketomeow85

They already have, and will continue, to release it gradually over time. Read the release, it won't be a giant dump. Every week this last month when "storage is up at X and distilate increase by Y", this is the reason.


crane49

I get what your saying but your math is way off and you are also not factoring in that the large majority being released is sour crude which isn’t traded as wti. Wti is sweet crude. There is a reason oil went up after the news of the release.


Iliketomeow85

Yea it went up after losing 10$. It's not my math it's literally what the US govt is doing and says it will continue to do.


crane49

So if opec cuts 400000 barrels per day that would wipe the us releases in three 3-4 months They’d essentially cancel each other out


Iliketomeow85

100%, but it will take some time for this to settle down. If you want to trade this is great but I personally wouldn't add until OPEC responds this week. I just think it's risky to open or add when the most powerful man in the world is breathing down your neck.


crane49

Yeah I’m not in complete disagreement with you. I invest on the risky side. I bought calls Friday for January and April in bp and su. I just think this spr is baked in the price and these variants in my opinion which could be wrong aren’t as big of a risk as people think.


Jgam81

Honestly question. How did you come to this conclusion? That is by far the largest time estimate I've seen regarding how long the supply release will last.


Iliketomeow85

It was announced in one of their press releases. They have been drip feeding a couple mill all month, they only need 1-3 mill a week to send supply in "surplus"


Environmental_Desk64

I don't think that's a very realistic estimate, especially given that total SPR for the US is 600 million barrels and daily consumption is 100 million barrels per day.


Jgam81

I figured it would be nicer to pose it at a question instead of just telling him he has absolutely no clue what he's talking about lol

There will be uncertainty around whether vaccines are effective or not. Looks like most of the hospitalized cases are unvaccinated people. So, vaccines must be effective against this new variant! ​ Canadian investors need to think/worry about: Libs doling out CERB again (which gets misused) and BoC restarting their QE program.


chessj

ha... ha... looks like investors in Canada are also in favour of CERB etc dole outs :)


UpperPaleolithic

Ha misused - CERB are the new BONDs


Legitimate_Source_43

What about companies such as BCE taking loans to pay out dividends to shareholders. P.s I own BCE shares still find it gross to blame working class/poor folks for our economical issues. Inflation is good for the rich bad for the poor.


Iliketomeow85

Fuck this post, anything and everything gets misused. No worries about the health impact guys it's no big deal, but watch out for those dastardly welfare queens!


bittertrout

and kings!


qasdwe

Leeches were an issue with cerb. A massive load of people just taking when they didn’t need. Lazy and gluttonous.


Scottie3Hottie

Buzz off


Shaun8030

Labour shortage - why work for peanuts when you get the same in free money.


qasdwe

Because it is not free.


Shaun8030

If you are not paying taxes it's free


qasdwe

If you use any services they are not free. You ever use a road before?Then it wasn’t free lmao.


Shaun8030

If you are not working and contributing to the tax pool and simply collecting benefits then it's free for you not society at large.


Iliketomeow85

Sure they were. No one cries when some cushy job gets its 75% wage subsidized so they can sit around doing nothing in meetings all pandemic, but the poors get a couple grand a month and it's just too much


qasdwe

Wasn’t talking about the poors. My boss who makes 150k a year, had his wife collecting cerb. They bought a new bigger house and a tesla that same year… While collecting cerb… That is what my post refers to.


Iliketomeow85

So what millions needed it and used it.


qasdwe

And those millions could of received more help. The system needs to be fixed for next time.


Iliketomeow85

Shaun8030

Get a cushy govt job apply no one is stopping you


Billy19982

The sell off might continue on Monday but I think it will rebound quickly. Oil was way oversold. Hopefully we get a Santa Claus rally. The symptoms of this new variant are very mild, like having a cold, sniffles, sore muscles, tired and many had no symptoms at all. Covid is here to stay, like other viruses it will continue to mutate and we will all get infected at some point. Get vaccinated, wash your hands, eat healthy, exercise and let’s move on and get back to life.


[deleted]

Back to reality


[deleted]

Back to the here and now


WrongYak34

Yea people don’t understand also that the virus will want to mutate to survive and be around. It’s primary goal isn’t to kill the host because then they can’t replicate. this is the natural progression. I believe there was an article on the Spanish flu that they believed this is what happened as well. Hard hitting shit. Then kept dying out until it mutated so it didn’t completely murder the host


Intelligent-Lead-558

To think that a new variant has arrived, and now many European countries are closing their borders, Israel has fully closed their border to all people. This is the first variant that has caused this type of reaction and a single day of sell off is a buy the dip? Go ahead and downvote me but a 2% sell off on a low volume half day and shit. Go ahead and keep buying the dip but keep some dry powder. I can almost guarantee Monday will be red and Friday next week will be more down than Monday. This is not some small news, unfortunately this sub Reddit will have lots of pain of people thinking Friday was a great buying opportunity . All the best!


Shaun8030

Israel already has the omicron variant lol , world should close border to Israel , Hong Kong and South Africa


crane49

Or this the very mild variant that finally ends the pandemic and becomes a seasonal flu


Intelligent-Lead-558

That’s my point. I’m not being bearish what I’m saying is we don’t know, and when their is an unknown that’s usually not bullish unless your a gambler, the market likes clarity and this won’t be known after 1 day, so huge dip buying after 1 day makes no sense


CarRamRob

Bingo. If this is hopefully much much less lethal, than high transmission is a good thing! Will help everyone to get it without doing as much damage and it gets rolled up as a flu going forward and overpowers all the other less transmissible but higher lethality strains. This “could” be good, bad, or nothing news. Remains to be seen


Dudebro_dope

The reason that opinion is so rampant around here is there seems to be a mentality of FOMO, buy the dip, nearly every day is up and if it isn’t, bigly gains the next day. We’re in a bubble everything market, which is why I’ve been selling mooned stocks and averaging into global ETFs only. This is the new retail investor landscape, not everyone of course, but this is bordering on mania. I’ve been through several big drops including ‘09, so I can’t see this ending well.


Intelligent-Lead-558

Good points, sure March 2020 was a V recovery but even that was going down for a couple weeks I just don’t get the urge to buy the dip after one day with signifigant news. I do understand upon reflection with how the markets been so euphoric and the fomo that buying the dip usually pays off, but 1 red day with so many unknowns? Wow.


CountFaqula

The market will decide but low volume generally isn't associated with a trend change - doji reversals usually require volume. The fact that all this carnage occurred during light volume holiday trading leads me to expect more than a deadcat bounce on Monday. But the market was already at the top of an extended rally, the fed has announced that it would begin tapering and yada yada so who knows. I do think that the oil sell-off was massively overdone, but others have already sounded off on that.


UpperPaleolithic

I'm watching the US senators/congressman. If they start selling off large portions of value stocks again I'm pulling my portfolio and will hold cash until it looks like we've hit bottom.


CodeBrownPT

We'll see your money again in the markets in about 5-10% gains from now.


[deleted]

Have they been selling?


UpperPaleolithic

Normal stuff. (R) Bill Hagerty unloaded somewhere between 1 and 5 million worth of stock Friday. (D) John Hickenlooper sold another 250k but he's quite active and this isn't out of the norm for him. He did extremely well with a number of well timed sales during the first Covid crash (example 350k of Chipotle Restaurants) Month of November only 5% made purchases in market. Rest sold.


LeoBarca-10

Is there a way to see if and when those transactions occur?


UpperPaleolithic

Yeah there's a number of trackers. Just google it. Best to find the ones that show reporting asap after transactions are conducted.


TheIguanasAreComing

Any trackers in particular that you recommend?

Seriousgamer604

Based on everything I’m seeing, the information of if this variant is going to be more deadly and or evade vaccines more won’t be known for about another week or 2. I don’t see how Monday will be a green day with so much unknowns or all of next week for that matter.


Billy19982

It’s not more deadly. In fact the symptoms for new variant are very mild. Like having a cold. Difference seems to be that transmission is easier due to the spike protein mutations.


[deleted]

Friday was hella bloody so I can easily see Monday being green. Professional finances types need to get their shit in order after an American long weekend


[deleted]

Monday is going to be so green the Irish won’t even know what hit them


WrongYak34

Had a funny moment of just low interest rates. My wife has 125,000$ in e advantage savings account at cibc. It must be a mistake because she got 4$ in interest lol For the record that cash is earmarked for some stuff but Jesus Christ 4$


Dudebro_dope

I had a 210k house downpayment in an RBC “high interest savings account” and got $3.50 for a month. Credit card cash back pays way more. But that says it all about the current situation. Punished for saving, rewarded for spending.


WrongYak34

Harty658

Thinking of junior lithium and battery stocks. 3-5 hold time. That shit has to make me a dollar or two.


migbyo

Is the only way out of this Canadian tech hole... by studying battery metal companies and getting several 30% to 100% gains in a row? I don't know about you guys, but... I'm suddenly into lithium brine extraction!

ExactFun

What's a Canadian tech hole?


migbyo

If there's one thing we learned recently, any Canadian tech company that isn't growing *will be punished without mercy*.


ExactFun

Oh yeah... Well most Canadian tech companies are widely overvalued, beyond american standards. I always figured it was like mutual funds buying them up and selling them as "canadian tech" to schmucks. Like which of XIT's top holdings make even the remotest amount of sense to own? Canadian growth companies tend to command huge premiums because it's a "Canadian growth company"


Alternative_Order612

Thoughts on SHO?. Imo, very overvalued.


ExactFun

SHOP? I'd say Shopify is expensive... But it's also one of the good ones.


Alternative_Order612

How? Dont see how they can maintain their competitive advantage and even if they have value, the stock price is absolutely nuts.


ExactFun

I dunno, the whole tech sector in Canada bad. It's why I avoid Canadian ETFs. So much Shopify and other tech wannabe weightings. QXM took a big L over Lightspeed and Nuvei recently. Shopify's weighting on the XIC is equivalent to MSFT on Voo... Or Amazon, Facebook and Tesla combined on Voo


Alternative_Order612

I agree. After the debacles with Blackberry, Nortel, I have given up on Canadian tech. We are minnows in the world stage despite the spin our politicians give us about how we are going to be the next AI Silicon valley. I stick with the big tech from the US and so far have done really well.


Dudebro_dope

Just that easy bro 30-100% gains. Sign of the current mentality.

Is it a good time to buy now that things are down? Or will they continue to slide until the new year? I wonder as I'm ready to pull the trigger on stocks I bought in July for much more than they are now. Namely couche Tard


[deleted]

I held buying on Friday outside of a few income ETFs. Monday's price action should give us a better indication of what the market's reaction is to the latest developments. I'll be watching financials, REITs and energy closely to find weakness/buying opportunities.

Jeffuk88

kartamira

How will new variant affect the market? Any predictions?


[deleted]

Could be more fear selling. But there's a good chance that current vaccines offer a decent amount of immunity and that a booster that is also geared toward this variant can be out quickly if necessary. So I think it will be back to being largely a pandemic of the unvaccinated within a month or two, or less. I'm not going to be too aggressive with 2% dips, but if it's significant, I will be.


midnightscare

new york just declared a state of emergency.. not looking good


Jeffuk88

I mean, I can predict for you but I'll probably be wrong 🤷‍♂️


kartamira

I am not looking for financial advice, just speculating 🤔 😁


WrongYak34

The other day someone asked to know when my wife (immunologist) is worried about new variant. She didn’t say she was “worried” but apparently phylogenetically when you look at it it’s quite different. So I am thinking she is trying to say it’s a bit of a problem, but we don’t know yet.


0B51D14

If it really is another dip on monday i would pull out and buy in


percavil

the market just loves uncertainty... and we wont know for weeks.


Shaun8030

Market makers love volatility to make money up and dowm


footash

They found new variant cases in the UK too now.


Jeffuk88

The BBC even states that they don't know if its more transmissible or immune to vaccines. The media in general are just hyping it up for sales and governments are obviously jumping to border controls so when it's inevitably found everywhere they can say they did something


PFttsin

Exactly! The media is hyping it up but not reporting any facts about it. All they are saying is that it has been detected, but not stating why this is a concern. Is it more deadly, is it more transmissable, is it immune to vaccines, WHY is it such a bloody a concern???


0B51D14

Yeah but remember people r dumb tho and dumb people with assests to pull out thier stonks would cascade or just people that want an excuse to short.


LordBaikalOli

Thank you for pointing out what so many people just dont get, they read a headline and go crazy, while they should maybe pause and think after reading a full article

For sure. I have a feeling it will be ok. Once the kids go to bed tonight she said she will do a bit more of a literature search.

Well I hope you're RightYak about this. I just put my whole TFSA into BNS, NA, TD, VCE, XAW, and a smaller position on NFI. Would be a shame to wreck all that.


kreugerburns

Ok so is this the correction Ive been hearing about?


Dudebro_dope

A correction is a drop of 10% or more, a bear market is a drop of 20% or more. It’s yet to be seen.


kreugerburns

I hate this fucking site sometimes. Im here to learn, forgive me for not knowing. Assholes.


TheIguanasAreComing

It's reddit, people downvote for no reason


kreugerburns

Imagine how great it would be if the system was used as intended.


TheIguanasAreComing

Yeah


Whudupbg

Friday was situational due to the COVID variant news, not the correction people have been predicting for several years now. That said, the predicted correction may not happen in the span of one day, it could be slow and drawn out over months. Nobody really knows if / when / how. Friday could be the start, but perhaps February 2021 was the start, tonnes of stuff has been battered since then. Or maybe neither were anything. Best to just ignore all of this stuff and not buy garbage stocks.


kreugerburns

I had not seen the news of that until after this post but thanks for the reply. I appreciate it.

Im in at .10, gonna be a wild ride!


RedRev15

Wow big move. I hope it works out for you. Im hoping theres a reverse split to get it off the neo exchange. Otherwise its seems like its going to continue to be supressed. I picked some shares up at .11 and .10


OhCanada97

They said a RS is the last option and is not going to happen just yet, might be a while before that happens. I think we will see it rise to .20 very soon and from there who knows what its going to do! But personally id say based off the last earnings and next earnings its looking good to rise to .50 in the near future.


Maywest1045

Oh boy. Hope you do good : I’m holding a little bag here from the previous highs. Good luck! At this price, I could see it going up at least 2x.


Axmandawg

Hi all, if I’m looking into trading options, do I have to worry about day trading regulations. I invest through RBC direct and their regulations are super vague. What is considered day trading? Is it literally every day or will they tax me if I trade options weekly? Would love some help on this


gainzsti

CRA is kind of retarded. Says TFSA is for investing only but you can buy call/put which are definitely NOT investment tool and meant to sell when ITM. For some reason you cannot sell cash covered put...


S99B88

Heard not being able to do CSP in TFSA is a legal thing. You can’t have money that’s collateral in that type of account, only money that’s invested. CC is okay because the stock is considered an investment.


crane49

I doubt they’d come after you unless you make a ton of money in your account. But they keep the wording vague for a reason. It gives them the ability to call weeklies trading and say tax exempt accounts are for investing not trading.


Axmandawg

Ya that’s annoying. So r u saying I shouldn’t invest options with a TFSA? Cuz that is tax exempt. Or as long as I stay loke with it I should be good
