In case you're interested in the state of the Canadian banking landscape and geographic exposure, I just came across this chart, which seems useful that way.

All of them nickel and diming us on fees and services of course, but if you're worried about your savings and which bank is most exposed to the kleptocracy south of the border, TD is the worst and National the best, against that broad measure.

#Canada #banking #investing.

A detailled stacked bar chart of the big six Canadian banks and their geographic exposure, broken down into Canadian deposits versus US, and other international exposure.  Lots of detail on there, but to highlight some elements of it, All the banks are primarily focussed on Canadian deposits still, though TD bank has 38% exposure to US deposits and at the opposite end National Bank has only less than visible exposure on the chart, so likely less than 1%.  

For other international exposure the extremes are Scotiabank with 18% and National again with 4%. 

Total assets are TD as the biggest with 1.5 Trillion and National the smallest at 308 Billion dollars. 

Date on the graph is Q2 2024

@samir @mawhrin @GossiTheDog

Many years ago, I came across something called the 'Vice Fund', a fund that invested in tobacco, alcohol, and guns. They had some numbers that showed that they tended to do really well when the overall market went down, and have slightly worse returns than average when the market was doing well.

If I could find them again, I'd probably invest...

How rich people avoid paying tax

(Originally by Instgram user @newmoney.blog)

This image appears to be a satirical illustration about how wealthy individuals can minimize their tax burden. It depicts a scenario where a CEO receives $1 million in salary and has $1 million worth of company stock. The illustration shows the CEO borrowing money against the value of their stock, spending the borrowed money as if it were income, and then claiming they have no income for tax purposes. The text suggests this strategy allows the CEO to pay significantly less in taxes.

@infobeautiful Ordinary people can do similar things, like taking a 401(k) loan, which is essentially borrowing money from yourself.
