[@foxy654]

I love wealthsimple to trade because it’s very user friendly! I use to use questrade but never stuck with it because I found it a bit complicated (mainly because I have very limited experience!)

[@stephandden]

Agreed, it’s laid out in a very user friendly way!

If I have a TFSA with RBC and want to make the switch but my account is at a loss at the current moment, should I wait for it to go back up or just go ahead and open up a TFSA with Wealthsimple and start investing there.

I see TFSA accounts under 'Invest & cash' as well as 'Trade & Crypto', Are they both the same TFSA account or separate accounts?

[@alrightride]

This is perhaps a really basic question, but what is the difference between invest & cash vs trade & crypto, I was hoping you guys would explain that before diving into how to use it.

[@itzjusbrian]

Hey, I was doing some research myself, basically wealthsimple is a investing platform that is managed for you. It seems to be on the safe side. So Invest & Cash will put your money in mostly ETF's in different sectors and markets based on your risk tolerance. On the other hand trade & crypto is the platform for buying stocks you want specifically including crypto.

I recently found Steph & Den and I am soo thankful. Because I have learned a lot and its hard to find young Canadians talking about finances. So thank you both 🧡🧡🧡

You actually aren’t down $1000. It’s because your January deposit hasn’t fully processed in their system (that’s why your % is still positive). Usually takes about a week for it process properly (not sure if you noticed that). I use both platforms so I’m really familiar with it.

Hey! We found this on the Wealthsimple site - 'Day-trading is not generally encouraged on our platform, however, it is technically possible to do so using Wealthsimple Trade. Once purchased, assets are immediately available to sell, and when an asset is sold, the proceeds are available to use right away. It is important to keep in mind that the quotes offered via Wealthsimple Trade are 15 minutes delayed and that we charge a currency conversion fee on all trades (buys and sells) for US-denominated assets.' 😊

As a fellow Canadian, I want to move my TFSA and RRSP from a Big 5 bank (with a 2.5 MER for mutual funds) to WealthSimple Invest. I’m a bit hesitant because I keep hearing that I would have to pay ‘withholding tax’ on US ETFs/stocks. Should this be a big concern what does that really mean and financially how much of an impact does it have? Thank you for the awesome videos!

[@mctreasure]

Its 15% of dividends paid by US exhcange traded stocks you own. The brokerage has to pay the US that money. If your US stock investment is in a TFSA, this will apply to dividends.

I just signed up for WS Trade and deposited funds into the account but it constantly shows as pending. I thought there was an instant deposit limit of 1500$? I deposited just a couple hundred into the account. I'm not sure why its taking so long to process or even to use WS. opening a WS was easy but to use the account and wait in limbo is not the greatest experience as a new user, kinda disappointed. As thoughts or comments?

[@estacionsurrock1]

Hey! Yes, just as you would with any investment platform or financial institution 😊 they're regulated by IIROC, like the big banks!

[@mitsonjoseph5201]

Nice tutorial! Are you both familiar with Acorn? What do you think of that platform?

[@stephandden]

Thanks, Mitson! We are familiar but haven’t used it ourselves - I’d look into their fees as a first step 😊 We did talk about it briefly in a past ‘money apps’ video that’s on our channel!

I wanted to start investing with wealthsimple. Can two people be an account holder? My sibling and i are still young so we wanted to start small. If we start a wealthsimple account can both of us use the same tfsa account to invest. How would that affect the maximum contribution.

[@stephandden]

Hey Zarin! There are join spousal accounts, but no joint accounts for siblings, etc - so the account would have to be in one of your names. 😊

I make huge profits on my investment since I started trading with Anna Lawerence , her trading strategies are top notch coupled with the little commission she charges on her trade.

I dont feel safe about putting my social insurance number on there

[@stephandden]

You'd have to share your social insurance number with any investment platform (just as you would at a traditional, in person bank) 😊

You guys put me on to Wealthsimple invest this year! I was looking to start investing in index funds. But so far on my portal, my money just sits in my Traditional IRA and has started to rake in some returns (USA resident here). Is it possible to invest in index funds within Wealthsimple invest?

Hello guys, I’m a new to investing and later in life. I opened a TSFA account in EQ Bank because of high interest. I’m also looking around at other options. I am very tempted to open an account with Wealth simple. Can I open a TSFA account in more then one bank? Thanks 🙂

[@stephandden]

You sure can! You can have multiple TFSA's, but keep in mind that your contribution limit is across all of them (ie. If you're overall limit is $50,000 and you have $30k in one TFSA and $20k in another, you're maxed out) 😊

[@beaut.soul444]

@@stephandden thank you for the fast respond. I didn’t deposit much, I wanted to learn how to use the account first before I can comfortably put in more. Opened both Wealthsimple and Wealthsimple Trade. 🤞Hopefully I can understand enough so I can be more involved with the investment platform. Thank you so much for your help😊

[@EPSGplayer]

My Wealthsimple TFSA has only made $5 the past month.... 🙄

[@stephandden]

Hopefully you’re investing for the long term then! 😊

I just started using Wealthsimple Invest. Do you know if you can change your goal (retirement or buying a house) after the fact?

[@stephandden]

Yes, I believe you can through your settings - you can also change your risk level 😊

[@jrparis9187]

I can not get your referral to work. The one where I deposit 100, and you get 25. Is it correct, and do I get something as well from the referral? Thanks

[@jrparis9187]

As well, your video convinced me to finally invest! Great video!

Hello sir,,, I want to talk about a canada Compny

[@stephandden]

Do you have a specific question? 😊

[@CrankingAllDay]

Wish Wealth Simple Trade had a USD account (1.5% each way is kind of expensive still). They are also kind of slow after you "make" a transaction. I had a few market trades @3:58pm (2 min before market closes) and they didn't go through. Questrade often cost more than TD for me (ecn fees + 1c per share). US & OTC stocks and research on TD. Canadian stocks & crypto on Wealth Simple Trade.

[@stephandden]

That's definitely one of the cons! We'll have another video out about Questrade, what Den's using to invest, in a few weeks!

@@stephandden I was actually speaking with an agent at Wealthsimple and it wasn't encouraging. He indicated that there is always a possibility of accounts being hacked. I was going to invest but lost my desire after speaking with this agent.

Can you use this platform if you reside in the Caribbean ?
