Is it a plane, a jet, a rocket? No, it’s my non-registered portfolio!

Extraordinary gains today for my portfolio! My non-registered portfolio is at... 115 365.97$! The TSX is performing well and my portfolio is simply following the waive and it’s quite cool.

I received Corby Distilleries (CDL.A) special dividend payment today: a really good 190$! I just can’t wait to see this baby DRIP. I should get a good 11 extra stocks. I had been holding CDL.A for quite a while and their recent special dividend payment is a reward I am getting for having the intelligence to hold the company in my portfolio. I know, I know. Holding can simply be the work of a pure genius. LOL! I also received a 17$+ from Methanex Corporation (MX).

I had been holding for quite sometime and I just cannot wait to see MX flying back to the old 30$ per stock. I made my purchase at half of that price a couple years ago. There’s big profit on the way, especially if the TSX decided to fly straight to the 13 000 points. Which I hope will be soon. If the US can create more jobs and if the situation remain stable in Europe, I may have my chances to get a 200 000$ portfolio value by the end of 2012. Stay tune, we’ll see what happen next.

Data Group Income Fund (DGI.UN) is now turning into a corporation of the name of Data Group Inc. (DGI). In result, Data Group Inc. (DGI) had fly to the very closed 4$ today, closing oday January 3....2012 session at 3.99$.

I had indirectly loss 1 647.87$ with this investment. I made my purchased at 6$+ per share. I am losing a lot on this one but it’s not something that upset me because when I made my investment in DGI.UN sometime in 2011, I was pleased to invest in the company. I loved what I had read about them and I also appreciate their dividend yield. If you had bought this one at an appropriate time, DGI could turn into a gold of mine for you. But if, like me, you had invested in DGI when the units were at 6$+, well, patience my dear. DGI had confirmed that their dividend will remain the same and that they are able to pay it. The dividend yield is now at 17.25%, because of the low value of the stock.

If I wasn’t already holding DGI, I wouldn’t be investing in DGI because I had now turned myself into a blue chips junkie. And it had paid off. Seek for yourself:

Those are among my latest investments and because they are all high quality blue chips, they had provided a really good return in almost no time. I plan to continue this way. The blue chips strategy is working very well for me. I am rocking the TSX as always. The stock market? It’s all MINE. It’s an absurdity under my own power. Fact is, a regular Beauty Queen Next Door can easily make big bucks on the stock market. Investing is simple as ABC once you get the real basics.

But what are the real basic rules of investing by the way?

A few things: diversification in different companies, in different sector. Do not invest too much of your money on the same spot. Derek Foster old picks of the Stop Working and the Lazy Investors are still good for today’s market condition. Don’t be afraid of the market volatility. The stock market goes up-and-down, up-and-down, up-and-down, it’s always the same scheme, especially in a very rough economic situation, so you are better getting use to it. Invest in blue chips. Don’t focus exclusively on dividend yield. Beware of high dividend yield (like the one that used to offer Yellow Media Inc. (YLO). Don’t invest in Quebec companies: Le Château, Yellow Media, all poorly manage companies who only exist to make you lose money. Boost the Canadian market, not the Quebec one.

I guess it’s about it for now when it comes to the stock market super rules. I might be the only goodness investors out there who still hold Timminco (TIM) is her investment portfolio. It was just a matter of time before it happen but it’s happening now: Timminco (TIM), the ex-darling of a so call investor of the name of Eric Sprott ok, well the ex-darling had been suspended.

I guess Timminco (TIM) will go under a major reorganization. Fact is, Timminco (TIM) never recover from the 2008 stock crashes.

Lesson learns from this Timminco (TIM) disaster. What’s the lesson I learn from Eric Sprott who indirectly made be loss 4k of my own cash?

THIS IS THE LESSON LEARN:

No matter who in the world had recommended you a stock, it doesn’t matter that it is Eric Sprott or anyone else. No one will be there to help you once you face capital loss. Eric Sprott won't be there for you. No one will. Billionaires like Eric Sprott are the modern gansters. Remember that.

And also remember that:

WHEN A STOCK IS IN DEEP TROUBLE, SELL.

Now that you know all that, you should be doing fine :0)

I follow that tip when troubles began for the really shitty Yellow Media Inc. (YLO) and I had been able to save thousands of dollars. Luckily, I reinvested at the time the money in Exchange Income Corporation (EIF) and just go see for yourself how well Exchange Income Corporation (EIF) is doing at this time.

Exchange Income Corporation (EIF) is among my top performers. Exchange Income Corporation (EIF) is doing better than ever.

I know, I am pretty amazing.

Capital loss? Hummmmmmm. Seem like my top performers like EIF are simply going to simply erase all that.

I am a bit heartbroken to learn that Timminco (TIM) had declared bankruptcy. I was hoping for a recovery. I just hope that Timminco won’t get delisted from the TSX. If it does, I will be losing all my chances of recovery. But in a way, I had enough of having that poor little Timminco in my portfolio.

So bye bye Timminco (TIM). See you next time. See you in hell.
