I’m 55. 25 K sitting in my weathsimple TFSA doing nothing for a year (I know). Have larger sums in GIC as well as a conservative work mutual fund RRSP. Is throwing it all at XEQT in a lump sum a good move today at this ridiculously inflated market. I conceive I’ll just leave it alone for at least 5 years if not longer.

Micro-cap volatility: opportunity or illusion?
Watching a small-cap where volatility is consistently high.
At first glance:
It looks like opportunity
But digging deeper:
Liquidity is thin
Float is small
Price moves aren’t always tied to fundamentals
Which makes me wonder: Are these moves actually exploitable…
or just noise that looks like opportunity?
For those with experience here: Have you found a reliable way to navigate this?
Is TROO early or just unclear?
Trying to figure out if $TROO is: Early stage or
Just unclear business-wise
There’s definitely movement in what they’re building, but not everything seems fully developed yet. Feels like one of those “comes together later or not at all” situations.
Thoughts?
Trying to understand how people value “story stocks”
Genuine question for experienced investors here.
How do you approach valuation when dealing with highly speculative “story stocks” where:
Revenue may still be limited
Catalysts are pending
Most excitement comes from future plans
Do you:
Ignore traditional valuation entirely?
Compare them to sector peers?
Treat them as sentiment trades only?
Interested because I’ve been reading through a few smaller fintech-related names and it feels difficult to apply normal frameworks.
Anyone looking into smaller financial names beyond the usual big caps?
Been reading about $TROO recently and found the business structure interesting.
It seems to combine lending operations with digital platform ambitions and some asset exposure, which is a bit more layered than many small-cap finance names.
Still obviously a higher-risk play, but interesting to research.
