BMW’s iX electric SUV with 300 miles of range will start at $82,300

When BMW first revealed its flagship iX electric SUV in November, we speculated that it would cost $70,000 or more, based on its luxury styling and upgraded battery. Well, we were right — sort of. The German automaker has just announced that when it goes on sale early next year, the new EV’s suggested price tag will exceed $80,000.

That puts the iX squarely in Tesla Model X territory and leaves open the possibility that it may dethrone Elon Musk’s falcon-winged EV as the luxury SUV of choice for consumers. It will also compete with the Audi E-tron, ...

Passive Income: Earn $145 a Week Tax Free

June 01, 2021

There are plenty of ways to generate passive income. Most Canadians prefer rental real estate, while others would rather deploy cash in savings accounts and corporate bonds. The problem with these strategies is that they’re either too expensive or offer astonishingly low returns. 

Instead, a better way to generate passive income is to simply max out your Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) and invest it in high-yield dividend stocks. Here’s how this approach could help you generate roughly $145 every week without any effort.

Will Air Canada Stock Take Flight in June 2021?

June 01, 2021

The accelerated rollout of vaccinations in most developed countries might lead to an improvement in growth rates of these economies. It means the time is ripe to invest in recovery stocks such as Air Canada (TSX:AC) that were decimated amid COVID-19. As most global economies imposed lockdowns and shut their borders, domestic and international air traffic came to a screeching halt.

Multiple sectors were decimated including retail, energy, and tourism. But few were hit as hard as the capital-intensive airline industry. For example, Air Canada’s revenue in the last four quarters stood at $2.84 billion compared to its record ...

3 Top TSX Stocks to Buy in Any Market

June 01, 2021

Portfolio diversification remains extremely important for long-term investors. However, overdiversification can be a bad thing. Investing gurus such as Charlie Munger have spoken out about “de-worst-ification” in the past. The idea that spreading out one’s money evenly over a basket of stocks rather than betting bigger on ones that are high-conviction bets isn’t necessarily a good idea for those looking to beat the market.

That said, picking a few high-quality baskets and putting most of one’s eggs in those baskets is a winning strategy. In this article, I’m going to describe three such baskets long-term investors may want to ...

BMO Stock Is a Strong Buy Following Excellent Earnings

June 01, 2021

Historically, Canadian banks have always performed well and have been a lucrative opportunity for long-term investors. Even during this pandemic, bank stocks showed their resilience. Most have recovered to pre-pandemic levels, despite continued economic uncertainty.

One such stock that has done very well of late is Bank of Montreal (TSX:BMO)(NYSE:BMO). Indeed, its performance and strong financials speak volumes for this bank stock.

Accordingly, here’s why I think this stock continues to be a strong buy in this current environment.

BMO’s Q1 earnings reflect robust catalysts

Despite slowdowns in demand for new credit, BMO stock has continued to ...

3 Top Canadian Stocks for June 2021

June 01, 2021

The pandemic has provided whip-sawing stock prices this past year. Accordingly, investors may be enticed to steer clear of the economic turmoil and seek greater defensiveness and diversification.

Well, these three stocks provide these factors in spades. Here’s why I think these three stocks deserve a hard look by long-term investors today.

Bugatti’s Trip To The Nürburgring Made For an Awesome Photoshoot!

June 01, 2021


Bugatti’s vehicle fleet is absolutely crazy and, honestly, outright expensive. Between the Bugatti Centodieci, the Divo, the Chiron Pur Sport, and the Chiron Super Sport 300+, you’d have to pony up some €20 million or about $24.5 million at current exchange rates if you wanted to own one of each. In return for that massive sum of money, you’d have a total of 6,135 horsepower and about 4,720 pound-feet of torque in your garage just waiting to be unleashed. For a brand like Bugatti, however, it’s important that each and every car is perfect, and that’s why it routinely ...

Rimac reveals the Nevera, a 1,900-horsepower electric hypercar

June 01, 2021

Image: Rimac

The Rimac C_Two concept has evolved into a production-ready electric hypercar called the Nevera, and it’s still just as absurd as it was three years when it first broke cover at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show.

Powered by a 120kWh battery pack, the Nevera uses four electric motors — one for each wheel — to put down an almost unbelievable 1.4MW of power, which Rimac says is roughly equivalent to 1,914 horsepower. The quad-motor setup can push the car to 60 miles per hour from a standstill in just 1.85 seconds. It has a top speed ...

The remains of 215 children were found at the site of Kamloops Indian Residential School after a ground-penetrating radar survey was conducted by Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation. The school was in operation from 1890 to 1969 and was one of 139 residential schools that existed in Canada. (In 1969, the federal government took over administration of the school from the Catholic Church, operating it as a residence for students at local day schools until 1978.)

The horrifying discovery was met with grief and mourning over the weekend, reigniting an ongoing conversation about the intergenerational trauma caused by Canada’s ...

The 2 Best Canadian Renewable Energy Stocks to Buy in June 2021

June 01, 2021

Renewable energy stocks delivered exceptional returns in 2020. However, most of the top TSX renewable energy stocks reversed some of their gains and have witnessed a healthy pullback in the recent past, providing investors a solid opportunity to buy these high-growth stocks at the current levels. 

I see significant upside in renewable energy stocks thanks to the growing emphasis on carbon footprint reduction. Meanwhile, growing adoption, declining costs, capacity expansion, and significant capital investments provide a solid foundation for growth in the future. 

Furthermore, top renewable energy companies are known for paying solid dividends, thanks to their contractual ...

That’s right, dressing our children in bright colours doesn’t only protect them in a crowd. While your kid can disappear at an amusement park in the time it takes for ...

These 2 Undervalued Gems Are Ready to Take Off

June 01, 2021

The economic reopening following a year-long pandemic signals things seem to be moving in a positive direction. Accordingly, many investors are now switching to more aggressive names, as inflation concerns are brushed off by the market today.

That said, it’s always a good idea to have a stable of defensive value picks in one’s portfolio. In this article, I’m going to highlight two undervalued stocks that I think are poised to take off. Here’s why Alimentation Couche-Tard (TSX:ATD.B) and Kirkland Lake Gold (TSX:KL)(NYSE:KL) should be on every investor’s watch list right now.

Royal Bank vs. TD Bank: Which Is the Better Buy After Q2 Earnings?

In April, I’d discussed why investors should look to bank stocks as the Canadian economy was on the rebound. Ontario, Canada’s most populous province, is set to pursue the first phases of its reopening on June 14. We all hope that it will be the last we see of the restrictive and lockdown-heavy pandemic life. Royal Bank (TSX:RY)(NYSE:RY) and TD Bank (TSX:TD)(NYSE:TD) are the two top bank stocks on the TSX. Today, I want to compare the two after the release of their second-quarter 2021 results.

Dogecoin vs. AutoCanada Stock: Which Is a Better Buy?

June 01, 2021

The cryptocurrency space has taken a breather in the last month. Despite the recent pullback, several cryptocurrencies have delivered astonishing returns in the last year. For example, Dogecoin is down over 60% from all-time highs. However, it has still gained a staggering 14,400% since the start of June 2020. So, a $500 investment in Dogecoin one year back would be worth around $73,000 today.

But investors should be wary of the massive risks associated with investing in Dogecoin and several other digital assets. There are also other stocks part of the TSX, such as AutoCanada (TSX:ACQ), that have ...

These 5 Things Don’t Make You Any Less Bisexual

June 01, 2021

1. Being in a monogamous relationship.

Entering a committed relationship with another person doesn’t mean you’re choosing a side. Bisexuals are allowed to settle down with a partner without being quizzed about their identity or told their truth doesn’t matter. Remember, a person’s sexuality doesn’t change based on who’s sleeping in bed beside them. You’re bisexual when you’re single, when you’re casually dating, and when you’re in a monogamous relationship with one special person.

2. Coming out to only a few people — or no one at all.

You don’t have to tell the world you’re bisexual if you’re ...
