rrsp (canadian)
« on: September 24, 2015, 06:44:22 PM »
So I don't know how to Google this simple question.


Basically I decided to go high risk on one of my rrsp accounts. Except even tho I'm putting money into it every 2 weeks it's now gone down.  Lol I'm in it for the long run so I expected this. 

  I'm still buying units or stock but it's just not worth as much right now?

Equities went on sale a few weeks ago, something like an 8 or 9% discount from before. Stock up. They could be even cheaper next week, so be ready to buy more.

Bread was $2.59 and now it's only $2.19, but you still have $15 a week in the budget for bread. You get more bread. Um. And the bread multiplies over time, giving you more little breads.

Just keep buying and buying. Since stocks are cheaper, you will be able to buy more for the same price.

Mine too.

I bought some VAB in early August.

I'm due to get some more in October.

Kind of frustrating to see it has gone down. But x years from now I am quite confident it will have gone up.

Ok thanks everyone

I knew it was a fairly simple question but I just wasn't getting it. Now I do

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
