Now, on a more serious note, this week is paycheck week so I place my move in advance, I bought a few more stocks of Canadian National Railway Co (CNR) today. The investment made is less than $600. My non-registered portfolio closed yesterday session at $118 086.44

Welcome again in my non-registered, Canadian National Railway Co (CNR)!
Its quite hard to understand why, but yesterday, the stock market reached out the 12 000 points. I was ready for more loses but hey, I won't complaint. Knowing that the stock market was up up up, I took advantage of the situation.

told you so that you bought Telus too high, now it's trading below 32 dollars which is the equivalent of 64 on pre-split basis, you already losing 6 bucks on the trade and more!!! more bad news coming...
welcome CNR again? Does this mean you sold it in the past? Basically you sell LOW and like to buy HIGH and HIGHER!
TELUS DOWN 8+% today!!! told you so. you bought at the peak... downhill from here...
This is my third investment in CNR in my non-registered portfolio.
I invest in what I want when I want. I was happy to invest in Telus at the time I did. Now is a good opportunity to buy even more Telus shares, good entry point.
If you are really a long term investor, hold onto Telus. Do not have this quick buy/sell attitude. So what if a stock drops - if you do not buy on margin, the market does have dips - that's healthy. I see Telus dipping as an opportunity - NOT a death knell. I have Telus at $35 and am planning on keeping and possibly adding to my position (my outlook is over 10 years).
Hi everyone,
At least Sunny has the balls to blog about her investing career. In one portion of my portfolio I'm down on some of my positions 89%-but does that mean it's a "troubled stock", as Sunny likes to say. The easy answer to that is no. Not if you know what you're holding.
Quite frankly, I would never invest in the Canadian telecom space-too much regulation, not enough up side(ie: too expensive for the risks I'm willing to take), little presence outside of Canada-just look at Verizon-it;s going to make mince meat out of the juicy wireless margins that the incumbents currently enjoy.

Telus is only down because of the Verizon bid on Wind. Nobody could have predicted that. Cheap shot, Anyonmous people!
Telus is a good stock, but you bought it at wrong time. But if you hold it for long time, then you will be rewared. However, if you have bought it at right time, then you would have bought more shares for same amount of money
telus down another 2%, if the verizon takeover goes through, less profit margin for the big 3 teleco in canada. they held the oligopoly far too long. as a consumer is great that we have cheaper cell phone rates and more competive prices - we are paying way too much compared to anywhere in the world, but as investors too bad, you will not see 76 or 38 (after split) on this stock for a long long time. Now the stock is trading in the 29s...
i bought Telus today
Only if you can afford to double down to break even!
I find you a little fake when reading through your posts. You boast your totals, but looking a little deeper over 1/2 you have bought on margin = credit.
You must minus your margin buying versus what you really have. Plus, looks like you live off of your credit cards - your credit card debt must also be taken off your investment total.
What are your monthly payments? Now also take that off any dividends you get.
Now, You said you had to pay additional taxes - due to not using a TFSA and other methods to minimize- take that off your investments.
Overall, your money management sucks to say the least. But from what I also read - your head is too big to take any advise.
Slow down, morons.
Great investment pattirose, at a great price.
Dear Sunny, don't worry about the faultfinders. They just like to go on power trips!
Happy Canada Day from Calgary.
agreed with anonymous - you have very poor money management or even no money management skills - you will be instantly fired from any investment firm - only yourself know when's the time to hire a real professional or invest strictly in ETF
Happy Canada Day from Edmonton!
