I bought my second stock, one share of WISH. One share came to $41.44 Canadian, through Wealthsimple. There are no brocker fees on Wealthsimple, but they do charge you currency conversion fees. So I ended up paying an extra $6.00 Canadian on top of the stock price, adding up to $41.44, for the one share.

I went a little over my budget this month. Wish is new on the market. I wasn’t sure if it was still relevant, but I asked one of my younger acquaintances and she said her and her friends still shop there often. I myself do not. The vendors on Wish are known for swiping photos from other stores and sending you a cheaper, crappier version of the product you thought you were buying. There are many videos on Youtube of this happening. If you do shop there, make sure there are reviews with photos.

I bought the stock because it’s a popular store and the company is worth a lot of money. The next day after I bought it, the stock dropped a lot. It went up a little bit, but I’m still down (especially with the currency conversion fees). My GFL stock dropped too, but last time I checked I was up a couple cents. I’m not a rich gal yet

  1. Yikes. Dave and I odered from Wish for the girls for xmas this year. Everything came way late. The stuff he ordered was cheap crap. Didn’t know about what you said they do. What I ordered was good but it took about 6 wks to arrive. We both decided we would never shop there again. 😐
