The 'Safe Harbor' provision is the real story here. By granting immunity from lawsuits as long as trustees 'analytically consider' these assets, the DOL is effectively neutering the Intel-style imprudence cases. It’s hard to argue a private credit fund with a 5.5% non-accrual rate belongs in a retirement plan, yet this rule makes it legally defensible for a plan sponsor to put it there.
For anyone that reads beyond the headlines, this isn’t really a big deal. The executive order and the proposed DOL rule, that is the main point of the article, are only lessening the litigation risk for plan sponsors and employers when offering Alts in 401(k)s. Right now, they’re able to be offered by plan sponsors but there’s significant litigation risk so most plans choose not to offer them. No, you’re not going to be forced to invest in these vehicles but the rule will essentially broaden access to it if you so desire. The real world application will be having 10-12 options in a 401(k) vs. now having only about 8-10. I have zero desire to move outside of broad index funds in my own personal 401(k) but the proposed rule really isn’t a big deal at all. No, you’re not going to be forced to “hold the bag” of the “greedy private equity and private credit” folks.
Can you see trump dismantling the DOL so there will no longer be these bad reports he has to deal with
u/hiddenscout Few more names I'm looking into. Any thoughts? MLI ENVA TGLS AIT TSE: DOL
It depends actually and if a cop cares enough you can get hit for it, say you get stopped in 2020 with an Ontario plate, and then again in 2026 with the same Ontario plate. The cop can refer you to the DOL to have your registration verified, generally speaking most states have laws that require you to register your vehicle within 30 days of purchase if you are a declared resident of that state. So the DOL can eventually hit you if you don’t register the vehicle in state.
PNG or KRKNF for Kraken robotics(under water batteries, sonars etc), ANRG (my personal favorite), UCU or UURAF, DOL, ALS and much more!
DOL gets revised down almost every month and 🥭 is just straight up not reporting they’re so bad. Why would we trust those? 🤣
Oh now we take the ADP report seriously? I wouldn’t. The figures are always off from actual figures given by the DOL
Most major corporate scandals have taken years to surface, usually because everyone waits for government agencies to act first. You don’t really hear about those investigations while they’re happening, because the agencies take their time building a full case before anything becomes public. I’m telling you exactly when they started this one. What I can’t share is anything they’ve told me since, that part stays confidential. But the timeline itself matters, because it shows this is active, and it’s moving faster than most people realize. I’m doing it differently. I’m pushing it through in real time, and it’s already moving faster than almost any comparable case you can name. It’s literally their job to bury things quietly, mine is to make sure this one doesn’t get buried. I work on it every single day to keep it moving. I understand where you’re coming from, but a few points need to be clarified. Agency involvement doesn’t begin at public enforcement, the SEC, IRS, and DOL all have pre-enforcement phases like intake, evaluation, and audit referral, which are formal government actions once case numbers are assigned. Those stages are exactly what companies must consider when certifying disclosures. The fact that something hasn’t reached public litigation doesn’t mean it’s not active. I have all the paperwork on the website. Throughout this entire case I have never said one thing that I do not have proof on. That is what makes this case so strong. Fraud also isn’t limited to criminal enforcement. Civil fraud, securities fraud, and payroll or tax fraud all fall under civil regulatory scope. The FBI handles criminal matters, but the SEC and IRS handle civil and financial misconduct. The presence of whistleblower filings in those systems indicates recognized allegations, and that alone creates a duty of disclosure. Confidentiality doesn’t erase materiality either. While whistleblower identities are protected, the existence of an ongoing agency review is still material when it could impact a company’s financial or reputational standing. If a company raises billions while an active agency audit or whistleblower referral exists, it’s misleading not to disclose that context. Government agencies usually work silently, that’s how the process is designed. Most whistleblowers stay anonymous, and by the time the public hears about a case, agencies have already been investigating for months or years behind the scenes. What makes this situation different is that I came forward publicly while those agencies were already moving. I’m the whistleblower who started the lawsuit and used the federal agencies as leverage to accelerate accountability. That combination, a public whistleblower coordinating with multiple federal bodies while maintaining transparency, is something that hasn’t been done before. so I completely understand the skepticism. But it would be amazing we all have optimism. Materiality isn’t about guilt or innocence, it’s about whether reasonable investors would consider the withheld information important when deciding where to put their money. Especially them. I am going up against some of the most prestigious law firms in the country. Most likely the most prestigious behind the scenes. And the obstruction that has been in this legal case is unprecedented. And that is coming from the most “sophisticated attorneys.” Waiting for a final judgment before disclosing active investigations isn’t compliance; it’s concealment.
> I understand your point, but this isn’t a “trip and fall” civil suit. It’s a federal case tied to fraud, shell-company structures, and thousands of employees, with three government agencies already involved, the IRS, Department of Labor, and SEC. I'm not sure what you mean by government agencies involved, did the IRS, DOL, or SEC bring concurrent civil litigations? I don't see any related cases so can you point me to an actual judgment, complaint, or settled case by any of these agencies? > When you have ongoing agency actions, whistleblower filings, and federal litigation connected to potential tax and securities violations, those are qualitatively material events that investors deserve to be told about. No, that's also not true. I have been personally involved in whistleblowing lawsuits with the SEC and IRS, and the relator's identity is always kept private and is never disclosed unless the relator chooses to disclose that information. The SEC and IRS wouldn't disclose that information for the whistleblower's protection, even if a concurrent related action was brought.
That’s a fair point from a valuation perspective, but materiality under Rule 10b-5 has nothing to do with the dollar amount of the claim. It has to do with the implications, and in this case, those implications are serious. We’re talking about documented fraud allegations, shell structures, and thousands of employees tied to the same concealed network. This isn’t theoretical, it involves three government agencies (IRS, DOL, and SEC) and an active federal case already on the record. And it’s important to remember: it’s not up to the company to decide what’s material. That determination rests on what a reasonable investor would want to know when deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold. A case of this scale, touching tax, labor, and securities law, is inherently material because of its potential regulatory and reputational fallout. The issue isn’t the number attached to the lawsuit, it’s the scope and substance of what’s being uncovered. That’s why disclosure matters. Rule 10b-5 exists to prevent exactly this, the concealment of material risks before investors commit their money.
Directs DOL to begin working with SEC to clear regulations to allow 401k investments in alternative assets (private equity, real estate, crypto). It's 100% about injecting crypto markets more cash for rug pulls.
Absolute nonsense. Amazon pays H1B employees on par with US citizens. It's public data, their average H1B employee makes $150k excluding RSUs because only base salary is considered by USCIS/DOL. H1Bs also literally can move to another employer, only L1 employees are tied. Stop spreading false information about topics you don't understand
[DOL.TO](http://DOL.TO) boys, great hedge for a trade war, goes up during bear markets goes up during booms
i have calls in [DOL.TO](http://DOL.TO), couple monthly, and one yearly. chart looks good, great hedge stock for trade war, and she been expanding hella.
I mean, the damn DOL has been closed since last week. Might as well shut down the IRS as well. We’ve hampered the FAA, so air travel is fucky. Why would we need to withhold taxes on our pay this week?
It appears it is going to come from BLS - The DOL, in conjunction with the Bureau of Labor Statistics, has several key reports upcoming that will provide important clues about the direction of the economy and inform Federal Reserve policymakers ahead of their next meeting in October.
Is it common to only get a fraction of what you bid for IPO's? (using Robinhood or similar). I got a notification a week or so ago, and placed $3k on it, had I known I'd likely get only a portion I'd have bid higher. Was afraid of some downturn economic news or DOL reports could show fears in the economy. Yeah, I think flipping it is the way. Maybe hold some long term in case it tenfolds or becomes a major player. It's tough disecting exactly what they do, I know Amazon is notorious for seeing which white labels sell well, then they basically copy their marketing and algorithms to push their own. Wonder if they can copycat that here and win out long term.
Companies should report earnings like the DOL report job growth. Revise it down after 12 months.
Who’s feeling cooked on MSTR? 🙋♂️ https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOL7LP-jtSi/?igsh=cWl1eHl4ZDhjem5q
From what I understand tho the last DOL report showed resistance, and unemployment is still within healthy limits historically. I know July was a shit month for unemployment but if we continue to show resistance if not recovery what would justify the cut?
fired DOL director, one of the fed governors, and now the CDC director... when does it stop
Well the new DOL head isn't gonna fudge the numbers when they come out. It's based on actual factual data. Cutting interest rates are Bullish for stocks, but what will that do for keeping inflation in check?
They say to invest in what you know and believe in. Don't just pick random stocks because theyre trendy at the moment. For me, my individual stocks are: - Dollarama (DOL.TO) because I am Canadian and believe in the brand - United Health (UNH) Because ive done a lot of research, and I dont see a company like that going away. And I know how heartless US health insurance companies are. - Amazon because their business model is unmatched, and they can have an order at my door the next day in a small(ish) canadian city. They're also into brick and mortar grocery stores now (whole foods). And their cloud computing business is just getting started - Cameco (CCJ) because I believe nuclear power is the future Other than that im mostly QQQM and VXUS
The value of stocks is based on a real company with real products, services, and financials. What is the value of crypto based on? >An executive order was signed to allow 401ks and other retirement accounts to allow people to invest in crypto Not quite. The EO was to instruct the SEC and DOL to rewrite the regulations to allow crypto. Will still take years for anything to actually happen.
Nothing has changed in your 401k, and won’t for several years probably: 1. The executive order simply instructs the SEC and DOL to pursue amending the regulations. This will take time to happen. 2. If it does happen, employers would still need to adopt the changes in their specific plan. Since it’s likely to cause litigation for a violation of the fiduciary obligation of ERISA, I’m guessing most employers won’t want to risk that sort of thing. 3. Even if your employer adopts changes to include crypto and/or private equity, it would still be one of many options in your 401k. It’s not like you’ll be forced to invest in crypto.
It literally isn't law. Thats the whole point. Cryptards losing their mind in here and can't even be bothered to learn what it is. 401ks are bound by a fucking federal law passed by congress called ERISA, DOL and SEC provide regulation enforcement and guidance. Trump has issued an EO telling DOL and SEC to look at accommodating these alternative assets which include crypto. But they cannot change the law, bound by ERISA. Secondly because of the chevron ruling, the executive agencies have even less power to interpret this law in favor of the EO. It's just fucking stupid from start to finish.
Trumps 401k EO effectively is neutered by the same chevron ruling his SCOTUS brought in. I swear there are too many actual regards out here. Like not even in the fun joking way. Helmet on level. Chevron essentially said agencies cannot interpret the law or write it. So DOL and SEC under same ruling can't interpret or write the law. Judiciary and legislative work bound by ERISA.
It's how many people are continuing to claim benefits each week. States pull the totals weekly and then the DOL aggregates them. Usually, it's used to track how long people are staying on unemployment because they haven't found work.
Doge got involved with DOL back in feb - so are we really surprised that being short staffed may have impacted accuracy or that trump would fire someone because they told the truth
401ks are participant driven. Meaning you select what you want you’re money invested from a list of options. I don’t see tons of plan fiduciaries adopted this due to the regulations ERISA and The DOL. High fees, illiquidity, and lack of transparency. Time will tell
Is that true? That was pretty dumb of them if it is. Why would the president get to just impose his will on the DOL on a financial issue like retirement accounts? Shouldn’t there be some kind of process inside of the DOL for making big changes like that?
Because the law that congress passed left the details of what specific kinds of investments would be allowed to the Dept of Labor, thinking that DOL would know better than they (congress) would.
Damn, the DOL is definitely cooking numbers lmao.
The Canadian answer to this is Dollarama (TSX:DOL). Our version of Dollar Tree, up over 300% over the last 5 years and doesn't really ever fall too much. Currently destroying expectations because of economic and tariff uncertainty pushing Canadians to try and save money. But they're also using their profits to expand internationally, recently acquiring an Australian dollar store chain and I think one in South America too.
Canadian here. Need some advice: DOL | 194 shares | Avg $170.9 | +11.92% NA | 168 | Avg $126.34 | +11.95% VFV | 42 } Avg $144.65 | +5.2% I need 10k in 1 month. Which do I sell?

now there's a surprise-------- NOT - here's a synopsis - if you were given a $1M bonus today, tomorrow you'd be on social media complaining it wasn't grossed up for taxes. you'd be asking if that was legal and whether you should file a complaint with the DOL and looking for references on what type of attorney you should hire and whether it waa likely the owner would have to pay your legal fees to try and sue him
Wow, that’s incredibly frustrating — and unfortunately not uncommon. Employers sometimes misconfigure their benefits systems or rely on third-party platforms that aren’t flexible or compliant with the latest IRS rules. If the $500 "employer" contribution isn’t guaranteed and you're capped at $3,800 regardless, that’s effectively **denying you the ability to max out your HSA**. And yes, that could be worth a DOL complaint if it’s limiting your legal tax-advantaged contributions. This is one of the reasons I’m so bullish on solutions like **WhiteRock**. In a world where finance, compliance, and benefits are increasingly automated, *transparency and programmability* should be standard — not some black box with endless support tickets. Imagine your HSA settings being on-chain, rules encoded in smart contracts, and no hidden catches or opaque workflows. But until we get there — I’d document everything, follow up in writing, and consider escalating through your HR or legal team. You *should* be able to make up the difference through payroll deductions or direct HSA deposits to hit the IRS max. Good luck — and this is exactly the kind of thing that shows how legacy systems are overdue for a serious upgrade.

It’s because Biden used the DOL to push changes to who can be classified as salaried. Just like Obama did before he left office. Trump cancelled Obama’s technically, but by then so many businesses had already adjusted in preparation and the genie couldn’t be put back in the bottle. Obama legit used that trick to give one of the largest raises to working class folks in 40yrs and when it wasn’t blared everywhere and touted by dems, I knew that the powers to be controlled almost all avenues of info and both parties. They pull big levers silently all the time and then try to point to different reasons for causation, it’s all a big fkin show of distractions.
I have big positions in PLTR and DOL.TO Your FUD doesn’t even tickle.
No it doesnt. It only counts people that are doing there weekly reporting with DOL
ADP and US Dept of Labor painting two different pictures. The difference is DOL has been revising by down their numbers for 4 consecutive reports now by nearly 30-40k.
XIT - is for tech heavy stocks. So it can dive but it's potential is higher than VFV over the long term. ZCH - is for chinese exposure. Not sure if its worth it but the stock is only 17$ rn. So not that bad to see whats going on. Just keep in mind that they are not a free market. Lots of market manipulation. it can jump 5% in a day and drop 5% in a day too. XEQT - More exposure to global markets in guess. Kinda trash imo but I still have some. DOL - Dollarama stock. My best performing stock so far. Think about it. The worse an economy is, the more this stock increases in value. Cuz people still need stuff, but now they need it cheap. But when things are good, this stock is tanking. And lastly HMAX - a banking ETF. With an ex-banker as PM i thought why not. You could also get VDY but I chose this one cuz it has 13-15% dividends instead of just 5%. Its not as established (only a year or two since it was created) Anyways keep in mind im very new too. This is just everything I know now. And ive given up learning more. I put 60% of my net worth into a mutual fund and theyre doing better than I am (they're up 10% vs me losing 5%)
DOL is one of my best performing stocks this year. Canada is heading into recession and DOL is by far the best positioned to capitalize on it. I never see an empty Dollarama. The most expensive thing at Dollarama is what? $5? Soon it will be $6, then $7. I will probably never sell this stock TBH.
I know ppl are waiting for bad numbers to come out tomorrow and I want a market avalanche to prove how pea-brained TACOmango's "policies" are but I also remember how mad he got at DOL's mega upward revision last summer so you'd better believe he's got the DOL and BEA looking like the kitchen at the mf'n French Laundry right now working on these books. We're not gonna have bad numbers until we're already well past the point of no return imo.
It falls under dept of labor which executive claims to control. None of that really matters as both DOL and BOL have been "audited" by doge and staffs cut, legal or not.
Nothing coming from Trumps DOL can be taken as fact. Nothing coming from any of his departments can be taken as fact.
Employment data has been captured by the same methodology that entire time. I was a participant a couple of years ago. I had a monthly call with the DOL for 8 months plus 1 follow-up call around month 13. I can't remember the exact details, but my interviewer was a pretty cool lady.
I’m back in from 30% cash high to ride the wave. I’meaching out for companies that have good strategies to deal with Trump or capitalize on lower spending power. So far BRK.b, DOL.to, L.to, and CA/EU index (for dollar Risk) is my next 1-3 months. Trump is softening (AKA getting his asskicked), i don’t see as much risk as before.
DOL jobs report about to be Doge'd
DOL baby!! Mass immigration in Canada bring alot of people looking for cheap goods to begin with and everything is getting more expensive all the time. The equivalent to Dollar Tree. They also bought their equivalent in Australia. They are having inflation issues too.
I've been writing CC's on DOL as well. I've come to the conclusion that it's a not an ideal CC play, the bid-ask spread on options is insanely high so you're going to lose a buck or more a share rolling, although you can usually ask for say 20-25 cents better than the current bid/ask and still get filled. I mean, look at the bid-ask spread for options on a high volume american stock like NVDA or AMD and they're only ten cents apart for similar pemiums. A lot of stocks on TSE suffer the same problem, which makes rolling that much harder to stay profitiable. One thing you want to look at is intrinsic vs extrinsic. Current price 171.30 ish. Look at the extrinsic on what you buy (the 165) - 6.30. Buying to close costs say 8.20 so $1.90 of extrinsic. But you can sell a 170 call for June at around $7.25. That means the June call is 1.30 instrinsic and 5.95 extrinsic (i.e. the "free" money you make by taking on the risk). So it's kind of like you spent $5 bucks to get an $5 increase in the CC strike (which means zero net gain if the stock goes up $5) but gained a net of (5.95 - 1.90 = 4.05) extrinsic. So if the stock stays where it is, maybe you could do it again in another moneth or two and gain your $5 instrinsic back, but that's a gamble. Historically speaking, the 30 day increase in price we saw last month is out of the ordinary, but whether you gamlbe it's a historical aberration or an expected response to FCF and earning under the US tariff conditions is your call. But if it goes down then you spent $5 on instrinsic rolling for nothing.
I'm high income and the tax cuts that Trump put in place during his first term will become permanent. Tax cuts for corporations will help my company and industry thrive. Deregulation to my industry is even more important. The previous admin was trying to push regulation through the DOL that would have been painful. Lots of things don't affect me personally. No president has ever affected me personally. Most things you vote on don't affect you. That's a disingenuous argument. I don't want un-vetted people in our country. It sounds like you're OK with that. That's why we vote. I don't believe it's fair for girls to compete with biological males. Sounds like you want them to. That's why we vote.
It’s almost like the DOL had a study conducted that concluded Tariffs in the last administration killed jobs in our domestic manufacturing industry. Too bad nobody read it. SMH.
I had SCHD because everybody recommended it but it’s my worst performing dividend fund over 3 years and lost about 9% in value since the dip. I’m in Canada and able to get better yield like 7% monthly dividends and better growth with SRU.UN.TO and its only come down 3% in value. Others my watch list ENB - 5.96% JEPQ - 5.15% JEPI - 8% Not a dividend but underrated are dollar stores. I also invested in DOL.TO which is a dollar store that is expanding to other countries and it has not dropped in value since tarrifs. It seems to go up like COST when everything else is Red. Maybe something to look into.
Play on Canada or Mexico? Smuggling/hoarding at border town dollar stores/grocers Dollarama (DOL-Toronto)... Awesome lomg-term stock record Brazil and Argentina arguably great aggy plays... Each country ETF has issues though
DOL should send a link to "Coal Miner's Daughter" to further sweeten their recruiting ad.
Will he ever back off completely? I dont,think he can help himself Convincing myself,to sell it all.. Even non-tariff names go down,with market sentiment Dollartree in Canada is interesting. Dominant dollar,store. Great management.. Usa customers drive to Canada and hoard? Smuggling? All purchased at Dollarama (DOL-Toronto.. No USA revenue that i know of 95% Canada if not more).. Same argument Canadian Tire or grocers,like Loblaw
Move your $ to Canada. We have stable bank, property REITs, and energy securities. Most pay a dividend between 4-7% Check out CM, ENB, FTS, REI, CPX… some of those trade on on the US markets some on the TSX only For a Canadian growth stock look no further than Dollarama which is Canada’s largest dollar store but is more like a mini discount Walmart with all name brands these days. DOL.TO
Shouldn't be a problem once they finish the plans for OSHA and DOL.
Thats a great question. Given the halo these things have by falling under DOL Safe Harbor rules, its only a matter of time before an employee group gets together and tries to pierce that fiduciary bubble. Old, pleated pant, Drakkar Nour wearing bankers designed these things using the 60/40 framework - during a time when correlation between the two worked in investors favor as a "hedge" to volatility. TDFs only get crushed like this when sequencing risk AND inflation are high. To fix them, a non-correlated asset class would be needed to added in order to mitigate this adverse scenario. Adding fixed immediate paid up annuities as an option when someone was behind on their replacement ratio ( variable income streams that supplement SS ) would be one idea. Crypto? Real Estate? Others?
Because it's an over-rated stock. Reddit is totally reliant on free moderator labour to function. They're one unfavourable DOL rulling away from the whole thing collapsing.
FYI - DOL just announced expansion to Australia. Very well run company.
That's complete nonsense. Name one thing Biden did to somehow *bucked global trends*. The US economy bounced back faster and better than the rest of the world because our economy was stronger than any other economy in the world, not because of something that the president did. If anything, Biden badly exacerbated inflation here by dragging his feet on reversing the national emergency, not using DOL to push states to reinstate work-search requirements on UI payments, dumping almost a trillion **more** dollars in to the economy with the ironically named "Inflation Reduction Act." Name one thing he did to actually *fight* inflation.
I'm not so sure to believe the business noose reports. I checked the Unemployment new claims and continuing claims at the [DOL web site](https://www.dol.gov/ui/data.pdf) and it looks like unemployment and layoffs is very stable. I keep waiting for new claims to surge and it never happens after I bet money that it will happen. Also, the deportations don't seem significant, only a few dozen or so, not millions of persons. It seems the media is lying to keep everyone confused. I'm guessing that prices will be going up and then the economy will slow down and months later unemployment would become a problem. Also the options market may prevent a sudden crash. So the decline and panic probably won't be until this summer or next fall.
My broke bitxh picks: L.TO DOL.TO TSLQ AAPL - because they actually make money.
Singapore? Who cares? Let me know when Trumps SEC or The DOL get involved.
You should talk to DOL - Employee Benefits Security Administration at https://www.dol.gov/agencies/ebsa
Dollarama or Stantec on the TSE. DOL or STN. Amazing growth and blue chip.
if we pretend for a second that unemployment reports are real, how is the DOL gonna fake the numbers after this quarter with all the federal employee layoffs ?
In a post on Bluesky, Jesse Rothstein, a University of California, Berkeley public policy professor who was the DOL's chief economist at the start of the Obama administration, addressed the dire situation we could soon be facing.
I'm not familiar with the union, but I'm sure you could look them up with DOL's LM-2 Database and see their audited financials: https://olmsapps.dol.gov/query/getOrgQry.do
Fire people from the DOL, instill loyalists... fudge numbers. Unemployment keeps going "down".
If the IRS and DOL did their job and stopped FedEx from violating labor laws en masse that would certainly help. As would better labor rights for the rest of the workforce in the US.
I actually never held any SPY! Solid gains spread out across stocks including NVDA, TSMC, SOFI, CRWD, DOL, SQ, KEC, L
It’s not really for you to dictate one way or the other honestly. It all comes down to the plan document and the definition of compensation and if tips are included or excluded from that definition. If the employer adopted a typical prototype safe harbor plan, then the likely definition is that which is present in box 1 of the W2, to which tips are included. So if that is in fact what we have, then there honestly is effort and obligation on both the employer and employee side to figure out a situation in which to satisfy the rules of the plan. So to give me a blanket what is or isn’t something is really an unknown to all parties here right now. It’s not about complying with OP’s wishes, to some extent, it’s about carrying out a fiduciary duty to accurately carry out the terms of the plan as designed and offered to the employee. So the answer is read the plan document, define compensation, if such compensation does in fact include the tips, then everyone has the answer, the next step is figuring out the solution. Otherwise it opens a lot of other things I’m guessing the DOL would be curious about, which is the reason some 70-80% of the DOL budget is based on penalties and assessments they levy.
Does anyone like DOL.TO on here ?
BRK.B is 100x more diversified (and better run, and therefore safer) and as such allows you to sleep as well as anyone: +800% in 10 years (vs. DOL +760%). But, yes, selling cheap sh*t from china to poor people has always been a good grift. Ask Sam. Or the Don.
I work from home... my "drinking place" is home, part of the climate change upgrade meant that "For certain occupations, DOL has predetermined there are not sufficient U.S. workers who are able, willing, qualified, and available" capable, available, and willing American... does that mean I created a job at a drinking place as a [Schedule A occupation](https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-6-part-e-chapter-7)?
Meanwhile, Dollarama (DOL.TO) is doing very well.
I'll take a nothing burger with well cooked calls, thank you DOL
Indicator could be DLTR closing a thousand stores 6 months ago (15%-ish)? And DOL is opening stores in Canada + Latin America with 50.1% ownership of Dollarcity.
Yes and yes. I like a defensive stock + Gold. Being CDN I follow this thesis with DOL (TSX) - similar to your Walmart thesis and Dollarama pays a little dividend and I like ARTG (TSX) for the mining of gold in B.C.
We've always done self-directed, even with EDJ. We had one EDJ FA leave, got a new one who later went out on his own, so we followed him, but our accounts stayed at EDJ. We moved and stayed with EDJ then. We only moved all the EDJ accounts to WF when EDJ went off the rails with their interpretation of the DOL fiduciary rules. We already had opened SEP IRAs at WF, so that consolidation was easy. I love the WF interfaces. If you don't do the work and like the person, follow him. If you like your current holdings most if not all can transfer in kind.
DOL (Canadian stock on TSE) not up there but it is a dollar store and reporting earnings tmrw - puts?
Based on recommendations and family, probably DOL.TO, DOO, TD, and RBC. Yes I am from Canada.
Mostly ETFs, across varying industries. DOL, ATD, LVMH and PLTR are my only individual stock holdings. Rebalancing a couple times throughout the year, yeah I think I do have that part figured out. There’s plenty I don’t.
So the DOL has been lying, and lying, and lying. Between this, the glut of steel in the US, the glut of natural gas in the US, etc, we may already be in a recession.
Fed doesn't. The DOL does as they have done for decades. In 2019 it was -501,000 adjustment for instance
The NEWSpeople were reading too much in the one week new claims. They didn't even mention the 4-week average of new claims. I had to go to the DOL web site and check the [data](https://www.dol.gov/ui/data.pdf) myself to find that the 4-week average is up by 2500.
I saw some "news" stories that say not to worry about the unemployment because new claims fell this week. But I want to the DOL web site to see that [data](https://www.dol.gov/ui/data.pdf) myself. The 4 week moving average is still up by 2500 new claims. So I'm not convinced that the threat of a recession is gone. I also found that Paramount Global is cutting 15% of it's US workforce.
Every Canadian with a TFSA or RRSP is buying USA equities. The candian dollar could slide anytime if people lose faith in the biggest real estate bubble in candian history. Our government has spent all the money stimulating in the good times, then even more during COVID. Position: Dollarama (DOL.to), APPL (big tech with less AI exposure) & USD index funds.
Most company's had kept their pension plan perpetually underfunded, ergo companies going under and not having assets to pay out and the whole pensions crisis thing. So less assets then would have been needed/expected were actually put into the market. Lots of pensions have their funds actively managed since it's the company itself handling it, I do pension audits and they all have advisors at big banks who manage the assets, lots of individual stocks, lots of reallocation based on risk. So not much different then a regular institutional/individual investor in terms of being able to dump if they feel theres a bust coming. 401k's are unique in that regard, there's generally no significant pullouts since your usually disincentivized from making lots of trades/reallocation's. And self-directed accounts are very rare. And since people have individual accounts and it's there money, company's can't underfund the 401k and not have people notice. DOL is very very strict on that too.
