Great interest rates at Bread, BMO, and Ally... even Amex. If you are looking for a stock account Id go with Ally, you can also open a trading account there as well with no real commissions to speak of.

per yahoo finance "The S&P 500 (^GSPC) is back within one percentage point of an all-time high. One of Wall Street's notorious bulls believes the benchmark index has plenty further to run this year. BMO Capital Markets chief investment strategist Brian Belski boosted his year-end target to 6,700 from a prior forecast of 6,100. Belski had previously reduced his forecast amid the tariff turmoil that tanked markets in April." you gotta be extra kind of special to change your targets so quickly without even seeing the impact of those tariffs.

(i) You're a Canadian (me too) but you're asking this on a sub which is mostly populated by U.S. investors. Your mileage, as they say, may vary from theirs. Check out some popular Canadian sources, like the Canadian Portfolio Manager blog, which I think is Jason Bender, or the videos from Ben Felix who works at PWL capital. Those resources are well regarded, although I don't look at them myself. (I'm old and my investments are in a pretty simple holding pattern.) (ii) Some experts recommend that Canadians have 20 or 30% home country bias, and I believe there's some data to support that. Many Canadians are internationally diversified, with allocations to Canadian, U.S., and international equities (and, if you like fixed income, a chunk of that). Canadians have an easy way to do that with the asset allocation ETFs from Vanguard or iShares or BMO-- e.g. XEQT or VGRO etc. Those are one-stop shopping, but they're not very exciting. (iii) If you're holding your investments in a taxable account, consider using the total return ETFs from Global X. They have considerable tax advantages. But at 23, I assume you're mostly using your TFSA. (iv) The bigger question is what's your investment horizon. At 23, that's usually not very long, and there's a good chance you'll need the money before you're 30. Think: tuition, living expenses, a move across country to take a new job, marriage, a car, and so on. All those things will drop on your head before you know it. The conventional wisdom is to keep your capital safe if that's the case. Consider putting a good-sized chunk of your money in safe fixed income-- GICs or a low-risk bond ETF.

which ratios? Their EPS is estimated at 13% going forward. Several analysts upped their price targets for CEG to $365 CFRA, $360 (Wolfe), $350 (UBS, BMO), $318 Citigroup. CEG just signed a  20-year power purchase agreement with META to supply nuclear energy from its Clinton Clean Energy facility in Illinois. CEG is worth watching & investing in - IMHO.

For the clueless who still haven't bothered to google. "Treasury's $16 billion auction of 20-year notes is met with lackluster demand Wednesday afternoon's sale of $16 billion in 20-year Treasury bonds produced below-average bidding by non-dealers. The auction was "lackluster" with a tail of 1.1 basis point and non-dealer bidding of 83.1%, which is below the 84.9% refunding-month average, according to BMO Capital Markets strategist Vail Hartman."

BMO has a pretty nice yield

Fluid_Cat2269

How much of these institutions holding Tesla are passive institutional ownership (because of the index ETFs they offer clients) and how much is active institutional ownership (ie their investment team making active bets)? As for National Bank of Canada, despite their name, they are actually a Quebec-based regional bank, ranking outside Big 5 Canadian banks (RBC, TD, ScotiaBank, BMO, CIBC). So it’s likely their asset management division that’s holding shares.

Tuesday’s U.S. debt auction showed that foreign investors held back from buying up 2-year Treasury notes, with demand from the category at a two-year low. The U.S. Treasury Department conducted an auction of $69 billion of two-year notes Tuesday afternoon.Investors accepted 3.795% as the highest yield on the note, 0.5 basis point higher than the yield before bidding. That suggests that overall, buyers had to be enticed to buy the government's debt by offering them higher rates. What was more telling was the foreign demand. A category called indirect bidders, which includes foreign central banks and private investors, lapped up 56.2% of the supply versus an average of 73%. This was the lowest indirects in 2 years, BMO Capital Markets say.

ELV pre announced earnings (similar business to UNH) and they expect to beat earnings estimate. They did, however, expand their Medicare Advantage enrollment… although they claim that it won’t be an issue for them (that’s the reason UNH dropped was costs associated with MA). Puts are imo too risky, so long as they don’t say anything dumb the stock goes up. General Motors has earnings on 4/29 BMO, considering grabbing puts as the guidance will be heavily dependent on raw materials & 🥭. Shorting Tesla seems like a bad move in general. American Airlines (AAL) looks like a good shorting opportunity, last quarter for them was embarrassing and I don’t see how the company can turn around now. Contrarily, LUV is in a slightly better spot than AAL, but I don’t see the benefit in playing their earnings. Intel is in a unique position as a semiconductor business, but tariffs for raw materials will make it difficult for the company to issue good guidance. The Google lawsuit is likely going to be a non-issue for earnings. The big mover for the week is probably a stock I didn’t mention tbh.

The **10-year Treasury** note auction appears to have gone very well, in a **bit of relief** for the market. Vail Hartman at BMO Capital Markets says it was “very strong”: >“Before the auction, 10-year notes were under pressure with yields just off the session peak of 4.51% and rates headed into 1 p.m. EST roughly 17 basis points higher on the day. Since the results, Treasuries have rallied in the follow-through.”

Hey! I’m a newbie investor who just started buying ETFs after some research, only to notice there’s a market downturn happening right now 😆. I’ve invested less than $1,000 across several ETFs, and since my purchases are still queued (markets haven’t opened yet), I can still withdraw them if I want. I’m okay with taking a bit of risk with this small amount, but I’d rather not kick off my investing journey on a sour note. I was ready to pull out of everything, but then I saw some of you talking about buying more at these “discounted prices,” and now I’m second-guessing myself. I’m based in Canada, using a tax-free account if that matters, and I’d love your help figuring out which ETFs to keep and which to ditch. Here’s my list: • VFV (Vanguard S&P 500 Index ETF) • ZCN (BMO S&P/TSX Capped Composite Index ETF) • XEQT (iShares Core Equity ETF Portfolio) • ZAG (BMO Aggregate Bond Index ETF) • VDY (Vanguard FTSE Canadian High Dividend Yield Index ETF) • XEI (iShares S&P/TSX Composite High Dividend Index ETF) • ZRE (BMO Equal Weight REITs Index ETF) • HDIV (Hamilton Enhanced Multi-Sector Covered Call ETF) • HMAX (Horizons Enhanced Income International Equity ETF) • CASH (likely a money market fund or cash equivalent) What do you think—should I hold onto some of these or simplify things since I’m just starting out? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I've been raising cash since Dec, skimming 25% gains on winners ( usually do this as a rule) and most recently I have placed stop limit orders on almost all my stock positions so I dont lose money , and in some cases, save some gains too. I raise a lot of cash last week on stop limits, and opened positions of BLK and NFLX which declined to attractive levels. I also bought back the COSTCO stock I sold in Dec ( gains) at 15% lower to get my position back up. Didnt all work out. I had a postion in NVDA that I sold at my $110 Average position price and I have yet to get back in. Same for a large position in BMO that I SL out of. But I am confident that Orange Mussolini will F shit up again and , bam, market down 5% more. Be patient.

Best advise : NEVER invest in something you don't understand........... A good bet would be 6 month CD's from a large Canadian bank. Bank of Montreal operates in US as BMO Financial. US government will default on their debts very soon. 25% tariff and government job cuts arrive too late to rescue their cash flow.

From MarketWatch Eight of the 12 Federal Reserve districts reported flat or slightly negative growth in February, according to the central bank’s survey of regional economies known as the Beige Book, released Wednesday. Six districts reported no change in economic activity, while two saw slight contractions. The remaining four districts saw only “modest or moderate growth.” Overall, activity across the country rose “slightly,” according to the report, which comes as talk about a potential recession has picked up in recent days. “The Fed’s regional report card … suggests that the economy is slowing,” said Priscilla Thiagamoorthy, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets. Tariffs were mentioned 50 times in the report, she noted, and almost all districts cited trade uncertainty.

Canada has strict foreign ownership rules in key industries, making it difficult for American businesses to operate there, while the U.S. allows Canadian companies to enter freely. Industries with Canadian Restrictions (But Allowed in the U.S.): 1. Banking – U.S. banks face strict regulations, but Canadian banks like TD and BMO operate freely in the U.S. 2. Telecommunications – Foreign ownership limits block U.S. companies like AT&T, while Canada’s telecom firms operate in the U.S. 3. Media & Broadcasting – Canada requires 80% Canadian ownership, restricting U.S. networks, while American media is open to Canadian firms. 4. Airlines & Transportation – Foreign ownership is capped at 49%, blocking U.S. airlines, while Canadian airlines can operate in the U.S. 5. Energy & Natural Resources – Canada limits foreign takeovers, but Canadian companies like Enbridge run major pipelines in the U.S. 6. Agriculture & Dairy – High tariffs and import controls block U.S. dairy, while Canadian firms like Saputo operate freely in the U.S. 7. Insurance – Canada heavily regulates foreign insurers, while Canadian firms like Manulife thrive in the U.S. 8. Retail & Grocery – Complex rules hinder U.S. retailers like Target, while Canadian stores like Circle K expand in America. 9. Shipping & Maritime – Canadian laws prevent U.S. ships from operating between Canadian ports, while Canada benefits from open U.S. waters. 10. Legal & Professional Services – Some Canadian provinces require majority Canadian ownership, while U.S. firms have no such restrictions. 11. Real Estate – Foreign ownership bans prevent U.S. buyers from purchasing homes in Canada, while Canadians can freely buy U.S. property. Bottom Line: Canada protects its industries with strict ownership laws, while the U.S. maintains an open market, allowing Canadian businesses to expand with fewer restrictions.

BMO offers a lot of ETFS with Canadian exposure.

I wrongly assumed that America's top bank would not have cut dividends. Out of our 6 top Canadian banks only 2 have cut dividends at some point in the last 100. My bad. BMO has the longest running dividend record of any Canadian company. 196 years. Importantly the kind of financial collapse that sees companies like these cut dividends will also see your portfolio collapse. With zero return. But you still need to sell 4% to live off in retirement. But a reliable blue chip will keep paying you. A dividend ETF will shelter you from individual insolvency issues. Dividend payout fluctuates much less than stock prices. https://www.simplysafedividends.com/world-of-dividends/posts/1038-what-happens-to-dividends-during-recessions-and-bear-markets

CuteCatMug

JPM did cut dividends during the 08-09 banking crisis: https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/jpm/dividend-history BMO looks like it started paying in 2011, but if they had been paying dividends a few years earlier then it also would have gotten cut in 08-09

brandnewb

There are companies like TD, BMO and JPM that did not cut their dividends after 1929 or 2008. A true financial crisis/collapse will indeed see dividends get reduced. But not a .com type crash, or a COVID crash. These had little impact on my dividend returns. But during extended market underperformance dividends and bonds become the few areas of stable returns for a retiree. The question is more about at what point do you transition. Do you start with blue chip, or transition to them.

BMO dropped 8% and 10% the last two earnings due to having to set aside more money to cover bad loans, i think the other banks are going to start to have this problem.

Anyone have any opinions on BMO. 90 puts for Jan 17 look tasty but I don’t like betting against bank stocks

You can find the answer to most of these questions by looking at the Vanguard and BMO websites. The difference in MER is expressed as a percentage of the underlying value. A lower MER will make a "noticeable" difference if is noticeably lower than its competitor. Look at the bid-ask spreads on your broker's website or on [stockwatch.com](http://stockwatch.com) to see if the spreads are different. Hint: they are.

> Are there specific scenarios where ZSP might be better than VFV or vice versa? If your broker is BMO Investorline then you can buy and sell ZSP commission free.

Canadian here too. I'm with BMO and can't buy ELTP. Very frustrating to watch it go up and not be able to get in on it.

Long time lurker first time poster. Just realized how imbalanced my portfolio is recently. Initially I thought that my home bias was too much then I realized something I thought about one of my ETF's was completely wrong. Need some advice about rebalancing my portfolio and what I should buy to get it more balanced. Mid-Late 30's living in Canada. Full time employed making 65k CAD/yr. My objectives are retirement, ideally making 100% my pre retirement income so I can coast into retirement comfortably. Time horizon is 28 years to retirement. Would like to retire at 65 (or earlier) if I can swing it. My issue is that I realized I had too much home bias considering that Canada is only like 2-3% of the entire worlds economy (I estimate I'm holding ~34% Canada if looking at the geography of VCN and XGRO). I also originally thought that the XAW ETF was All World ex-North America but in reality it's All World ex-Canada and there's a ton of US holdings in it so my US holdings are about 42% of my holdings (from XGRO, XUU, and XAW). Risk tolerance is medium-high, I've maintained an 85/15 ratio of Equities to Bonds/Fixed Income. I also value simplicity over optimizations. I was originally in XUU, VCN, XAW and ZAG. Current holdings are as follows: XGRO (BlackRock Core Growth ETF) 35k XUU (BlackRock US Total Market) 40.5k VCN (Vanguard Canada All Cap) 39k XAW (All World ex-Canada) 11.5k ZAG (BMO Aggregate Bonds Index) 23.5k Total holdings value 149.5k If my calculations are right I have about 42% in US, 34% Canada, 3% Europe, 3% EAFE and 16% in Bonds. Is this decently balanced or should I drop some of the Canadian bias and get slightly more Europe/EAFE and Emerging Markets.

Yeah so you're exchanging the funds twice. You had CAD, you paid your bank's exchange rate to turn it into USD, and now you're paying your bank's exchange rate again to turn it back into CAD. You aren't getting the bank of Canada rate your getting whatever TD or BMO or whoever you bank with charges you. On-top of the volatility of the currency.

At this point , Embridge and BMO, for there dividends cause i\`m 10 years away from retreadment. Umm, ya.

Switch to BMO Investorline....they just lowered options trading fees

lovemyshittyBMer

TD is about to linger in mediocrity while RBC eats them at home. The US lending market is extremely competitive and both TD and BMO are waking up to that reality. Forget the fine, the bank is focusing on what made them great, Canada...and RBC has been doing that all along with great success.

Glad to share, wish I could help with reliable banks, have had hysa with BCU and Capital One, nothing bad but I moved everything over to my Vanguard brokerage account, and just have a checking with BMO. Have not really shopped banks and don't want to give bad advice other than read the fine print, go for rate close to the feds fund rate but if it's higher than there may be something off, some withdrawal terms etc. nerd wallet probably has some good reviews and options, I'll let others chime in too

Jvnasbk

did some research on UBER stock today, they have their earnings on 11/31 BMO, last earnings they shitted ik but their stock portfolio is looking good now, what are your thoughts?

Status-Property-446

I think you have the concept of IV crush calendars backward. TRV reports on Oct 17 BMO. The 10/18 strike is the one you want to SELL as its IV is going to be elevated. You would buy the back month to make it covered. The 10/18 option is the one that will lose the most value due to IV crush.

> Uber to remain primary autonomous vehicle distribution partner, says BMO Capital Wow. This sub kept saying Uber was done for a Mag 7 company such as Tesla or Google would create their own platform. Why did this sub hate Uber so much to bury head in sand and downvote people saying the obvious news of Google partnering with Uber. I am so glad I bought Uber heavily in August below $60 since I just ignored the Mag 7 bias this sub has.

For earnings, I start with just generating a list of everything that has earnings coming up today AMC / tomorrow BMO. Fundamentally the risk premium around earnings would make it so that you should just sell all of the ones on this list that are liquid. I personally do a bit more filtering for - positive short straddle performance historically - implied move > avg jump (move right in the morning) - implied move > 4% (high implied move == good) I know people who will layer a couple other things on top, but I try not to add too much since a big part of earnings trading is trading a large volume of events. As for the structure, just short straddles in small size on lots of events is the way Outside of earnings I do a really boring systematic way to extract VRP, I just sell vol on a basket of ETFs that have proven to have the variance risk premium. The core filters are: - implied volatility 30d - subsequent realized volatility over 30 days -> average of this over 4 years **must be** **greater than 1** - 4 years 30d short straddle performance (daily delta hedge, cross the spread to enter) **must be positive** - IV Rank lower than 95, because there's no added compensation (% of premium wise) for trading when things are blowing up. I monetize this using a strangle swap method where I sell weekly d20 strangles under the hedge of a 90 dte d20 strangle. I sell 4-6 weeks worth of strangles before either rotating to a new ticker or rolling out the hedge. The core idea of both strats is to minimize "forecasting" and focus on "measuring" the risk premium.

I know exactly what you are talking about... and sadly came to this thread looking for the answer as well..... Now the one thing that i notice is that i trade options in multiple different accounts.. and the idea of making the bid in 5cent increments is not true on all brokers.... for example.. (i'm in canada) when i trade with CIBC (investors edge) the trades have to be in 5cent increaments.. but the exact same opitons trade or stock trade with TD or BMO.. can be in increments of 1cent.. WTF???

Can't wait for the BMO guy to come to CNBC at the end of the year again and apologize and try to be humble again

> They're exclusively commodities because they are commodity perma-bulls. Doesn't seem like that's the case when looking their blog history. They've been quite bearish on wheat and other agricultural goods (in terms of prices) since 2019. > I would be careful listening to them because their bias is towards marketing for a world of commodity shortages and how retail investors like you could make money from it. This is the case for pretty much all sell-side analysts. They operate off a set of guiding assumptions and are looking to justify their principles. Bears always see the end of the world around the corner; bulls never see market crashes coming and buy all the way down. Is G&R (oil & metals) any different than Wedbush (technology) or BMO (small caps) in this respect? > They're anything but contrarian, all these bold predictions come out when commodities are at some highs "Commodities being at some highs" has little to do with contrarianism. You are a contrarian when the market votes with their feet in one direction and you vote with your principal in the other. We haven't seen enough investment from retail, let alone institutions, to make gold stocks a popular trend. In general people don't pile into the sector unless it's the end stage of a meltup. > conveniently talking their own book, and likely dumping their actual holdings, if they even have any, on retail I fail to see how this is realistic. G&R doesn't have the influence to move the needle on asset prices. They only have slightly above $370 million AUM.

Sure - in some countries - Computershare offer registry services to ETF sponsors. I don't see that as a service in Canada. And if BMO GAM uses Computershare for registry services - it would be conceivable that you can simply keep those shares there. >The red and green and up and down graphs incentive you to buy and sell You don't have to look at them. And also why I suggested that you just use an advisor.

greytoc

ZDY is an open-ended fund. It would be odd if you can DRS creation units. Perhaps BMO GAM who is the ETF sponsor offers a shareholder registry so you can custody the shares directly with the ETF sponsor. Investment managers will sometimes offer accounts to hold mutual funds directly - but I've not seen an ETF sponsor offer similar services. You would need to contact BMO to find out. What investing problem are you actually trying to solve? You are probably better off just using an advisor if you don't want to deal with broker directly.

FNGU still popping off Now I just need Justin Trudeau to stop fucking up the economy before BMO becomes Credit SUSS

For reputable investment firms in Ontario, you might want to check out RBC Wealth Management, CIBC Wood Gundy, or BMO Nesbitt Burns. They offer various investment options like mutual funds, ETFs, and index funds and can help manage your funds based on your goals. It's worth meeting with a financial advisor to make sure their strategies align with your needs. For those with larger investments, platforms like A9 might offer additional options worth considering.

I have an appointment scheduled with BMO to discuss the possibility of having them manage my investment. However, if I can handle it on my own, that would be ideal. I’m aware they charge a fee for management services.
