Quotes of the Day

Estimate your protein target: 1) Estimate the daily energy (calorie) requirement for your age, sex, and level of activity. You can do this by using something called the Harris Benedict equation calculator, available online at numerous websites. 2) Estimate the portion of those calories that should come as protein (i.e., your protein intake target) by multiplying that value by: Child and adolescent: 0.15 (i.e., a 15% protein diet) / Young adult (18–30): 0.18 / Pregnant and breastfeeding: 0.20 / Mature adult (30s): 0.17 / Middle years (40–65): 0.15 / Older age (>65): 0.20 3) Divide that number by 4 to get the number of grams of protein per day you should eat. [2020] - David Raubenheimer

All of the banks have a brokerage arm-RBC Direct Investing, Scotia iTRADE, BMO InvestorLine and so on. There are a number of non-bank-owned firms with good offerings as well: Questrade, Qtrade and Virtual Brokers, to name a few. The Globe and Mail does a comprehensive review of all the major online brokerage every year, and this is worth searching for online. Most online brokerages waive administrative fees if your account balance (or the sum of all your accounts) is higher than a certain amount (e.g. $25,000). Commission-free trading is an excellent feature. Questrade has long offered free purchases of all ETFs, though you still pay their standard commission when you sell. Qtrade and Scotia iTRADE have a limited menu of ETFs that trade commission-free. National Bank Direct offers commission-free trades on ETFs as long as you purchase at least 100 shares at a time. [2021] - Dan Bortolotti
