didn't things stagflate for pretty much the entire 70's?
How much do you know about financial independence?

To be fair there have been periods of stock market stagnation that lasted 20 years.
What's the most recent long period of flat returns that you are thinking about?
If just looking at S&P 500 then dot com bubble and 08 crash both were multiple year flat to no growth dips.
Dot com bubble took 8 or 9 years to return to start levels. And per previous post, 6 years for 08 to return to high.
Classic case is Japans lost decade in the 1990s.

VAB +1.25% YTD, plus 3.39% yield
HISA 2.35% interest, more if you’re willing to chase bonus offers.
Just sayin. Diversify short term needs.
So, about those covered calls… who knows a good source to learn more about covered calls on stable dividend paying companies? I have a basic understanding, need details.
When trump gets his head blown off my portfolio will recover nicely.
I just put $950 in dividends and interest back into the S&P, following my plan to reinvest into the lowest allocation.
Turns out I am a robotic index investor. Don’t tell Lee.
Anyone here fluent in income tax? I have a bit of confusion around my FHSA contributions.

Good link, thanks. I'm evidently not fluent in FHSA either but I was able to amend my return on the CRA portal. I think my mistake on was filing my 2023 return before the T4FHSA document was available, I entered the contribution amount on line 68935 but 20805 was empty and no document was attached (oops). My 2024 filing made a lot more sense and got me thinking..
