My vacations are really great. I had enjoyed my free time. I didn’t do that much, if not blogging a bit and writing a blog about Youn Sun Nah. Her birthday is on August 28. Mine is at a very close date, but it’s basically all we have in common lol :) Youn Sun Nah is a Korean jazz singer who performed at the International Jazz Festival of Montreal. Those pictures were taken after her performance. I try to load those 2 pictures on my HubPages article but the loading was terribly slow. So instead, I am publishing the pictures here so I can publish them on my HubPages through the Web. Isn’t she so nice, taking a pose for me? I think Youn Sun Nah is very gently actually. And her voice is terrific, amazing, grandiose. She knows Korean, French, English and Potuguese. Listen to Youn Sun Nah right here.
The wheater today in Montreal was quite grey as I finish my Saturday shift at my weekend job. I just don’t know if I should stay in blogging and doing whatever or go outside, walk and stuff. I am working also tomorrow but that’s all right, I really need the money, especially now. I had to pay over 500$ on my credit card by the end of July in order to avoid the interest rate. Currently, I am able to do the payment as I will take money from my credit line to pay over the credit card. But also, surprise, the lovely Quebec governement send me my driver renewal form… A nice 86$ that had to go, just right before my birthday… Right on time! Thank you thank you thank you Quebec lol……. Just that kind of thing that just ahhhhhh yehhhhhhhhh (!!!).
After my credit card and my driver renewal payment, I will have just a few dollars left so I really need my vacation paycheck if not I will have to borrow on my credit card to pay my rent. Lately, I had received the following dividend: 14.49$ from Pengrowth Energy Trust (PGF.UN); 29.95$ from Enbridge Income Fund (ENF.UN) and 24.17$ from Bell Aliant Regional Communications Income Fund (BA.UN). I had now exceed the 2 000$ in dividend arning for 2010! I am now at a great 2 006.44$ in dividend income that I earned so far for 2010. So the little sums of money keep adding up!
I update my investment portfolio just a couple of days ago. At a point, I taught I was going to hit the 90 000$ and I was getting all excited! I miss the 90 000$ from only a couple of hundreds of dollars. My latest investment in Corby Distilleries really worth it! Everything is just going very fine right now. My non registered stocks and units portfolio close latest Friday session at 49 643.27$! This mean that I may be at 90 000$ at this time, knowing the good result of Friday for the TSX. But to really know if I am 90 000$, I will need to update my portfolio. Once again! I have also tomorrow to update it. I am not too thrill about doing a portfolio update just now even if it’s to know if I am at 90 000$ or not. It’s just too much work and calculation for me at this time. I do the whole thing manually, it’s part of my calculation hobby. But at a point, I am getting enough of portfolio update. I just cannot imagine what it’s going to be like when I will be at more than 100 000$. Because of course, one day, I will be at 100 000$! But it will require even more time to update my portfolio… Sometime, I feel like I am managing a mini-hedge fund. I am king of getting good at it, don’t you think so? lol… Got to take a laugh sometime, it would be so easy to give up and so easy to stop saving money... It could be so easy to just cash in the dividend.. :)

She has a very pleasant voice. Congrats on making over $2000 in dividends this year, I only made like $300 so far, so you are doing much better. If you can get to $100K before the end of this year, I will try to reach my goal of $30K. So good luck to both of us.

ReplyDeleteWhy don't you use some of the dividends to pay your debt down and avoid the interest charges..i hate interest. oh, how about putting your picture in here , i would love to see you. thinking about buying Bell next week..100 shares...4 stocks now.
yes bring on the 90,000
ReplyDeleteHI Sunny
ReplyDeletewhat do you figure your percent is for your investments, would you think you would average 8% overall?
Hi Heffer, good luck on your 30k goal! Everything possible!
ReplyDeleteHi Canuck, I don't plan to pay off debt until my 100 000$ goal is reach. Which I really hope will be by the end of 2010-early beginning of 2011 but I am hoping for the end of 2010. Good pick on Bell Aliant, its a Maritime stock, can't go wrong! Real nice portfolio your building, really nice, congradulation! Its difficult to answer about my return because I invest on a regular basis, so I cannot say for sure if I am getting a 8% return or not. Too much movements in my portfolio.
HI Sunny
ReplyDeletethanks for your comments, i am actually learning from you what stocks to pick,,,where were u when i was thinking Manulife..man...anyhow, just bought Bell for $26.10 ,,,,i now am building a portfolio of my own..no financial advisor to pay either.
Hi Canuck,
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear from you. Sorry about your bad investment in Manuvie, but I did some investment mistakes myself in the past, but learn from them. I pick the stocks I like, I never had that much of attraction for insurance. Hope my picks will all be winners in a close future.
HI Sunny
ReplyDeletestill wondering what is the best deal to go with the pembina pipeline or the distilliaries..the Corby stock doesn't pay much in dividends,,wonder if the capital moves more quickly...love the just energy and Pengrowth and the bell...good solid returns by the look of things so far!
HI Sunny
ReplyDeletestarted to read more of your information , see that you make 35 grand ,,not bad at all, in fact i am impressed . i think you will make your goal today as just energy is way up...i am down on bell but it will come back....just think that this just energy is taking off.
