I've been a longtime customer of BMOInvestorline and have been happy. However, I've seen WealthSimple offering to pay customers a 1% bonus to transfer accounts to them. For example, if I transfer an unregistered account in kind with a value of $1M, then I would receive $10K from WealthSimple paid over 10 months.
That seems like a very good ROI for the few hours that it will take me to complete the forms and submit them to WealthSimple to complete the transfer. They also don't charge any commissions on trades, unlike BMO.
I have a friend who transferred $3M and will start collecting $30K over 12 months. Not too shabby.
How do they make money when they are paying customers 1% to transfer accounts and then don't charge commissions?
Q: In light of PLTR’s decline now can you think of other similar companies from the past that have come back and become market staples now…. Like an apple, Microsoft. Or an industrial or energy stock ? Or is PLTR such an anomaly that a more significant drop might be in the offing?
You say you prefer NBIS over CRWV because of valuation. But I'm also curious if you are a fan of their other non-"Nebius AI" product like Toloka, TripleTen, AvRide.
Seems CRWV is more of a pureplay on what Nebius AI does?
Q: B. RILY Financial Corp. (RILY:US) seems to be in the middle of a dramatic turnaround after an ugly 3 years. In your estimation is this turnaround "real" or just a possible short-term trading opportunity?
Many thanks,

Q: On August 12th you gave $270 as a reasonable entry point for CLS. Now that it is around $250 and appears to be still dropping and potential for volatility in September would you add now or wait until it appears to settle?
Q: Hi guys I hold all 3 of these stocks, and have for quite a while - RCH, ADEN, and RUS. I am looking 5 years out and thinking I might sell the RCH and ADEN holdings and buy more of RUS. This would still leave my RUS holdings at below 4%. Your thoughts which one of these companies do you think would be teh best bet 5 years out?

Q: In a response to Bruce this morning regarding HSAV you state: "Note it is not 'guaranteed' in the typical sense." I had thought that holding HSAV was as safe as holding cash. As a holder of HSAV I would appreciate it if you could expand on the risks of holding HSAV. Thank you.
