Closing the year 2017 with a net worth of $221 989.65

2017 had been a good and rewarding year for the TSX and its investor, but its been rocky and nothing had been made in silk sheets. At least not this year. The TSX closed the year 2017 hitting on the 16 209.13 points. Now, if the TSX can just continue to push a little, we could be hitting on ahead for the gold road and maybe the TSX could hit, for the first time in history, the mark of 17 000 points, and maybe even more by the end of 2018.

Personally, all I ever wanted so badly for 2017 was to finish the year and proudly sit my sexy ass on a 220k net worth and guess what, this fabulous Duchess got what she wanted! Earlier this year, back in March, I was reaching, for the first time ever, $200 000 in net worth. I closed the year 2017 with a net worth of $221 989.65, on which I am satisfy. My total investment value is of $318 544.64. My margin debt is at $96 554.99.

Now that I am about to open the year 2018 on almost $222k, the dream of a $300 000 net worth doesn't seem so far away. For 2018, I may be able to save about $22 000. It makes $244 000 right there. And following what, I just need 2-3 new good investments and a big push from the TSX - can we hope for a 23% gains for the TSX is 2018? If the answer is yes, super babe is just going to have what she wants one more time: a $300 000 net worth for 2018. So LET'S GO.

The story will only end at my death, but let's hope for the best in 2018.

Getting the hands on the big free bucks on the back of Canadian cannabis business

Today was a day of glorious glory and I just don't know if you are ready for any of this. However, since I blog on very everything I do on the TSX for you really own satisfaction, I just have to choice than to fully expose everything.  With a little lady love and attention, the TSX can do a lot. My TSX is a complete achiever. And right now, Aphria Inc. (APH) is working at making me happy. Fact is, whenever you read about investing is too really often really superficial. You don't get to know exactly when to buy or when to sell, or if you should hold. But no worries, its exactly why I am blogging, so you can blow in gain without having to deal with no one else. Its all between you and me.

What I have find out, is that overtime, you get to know the stock market better and the longest you'll be playing in miss shitty TSX, the better it is for you. Overtime, you can get a sense of where things are hitting - without really knowing. For example, just before I sold my HCG stocks, I knew - and I wrote it, saying that HCG was going to make more gains, and it did. And when I wrote that Eric Sprott involving in Novo Resources Corp (NVO) was a disaster, well fact is, it was a a real disaster! Bad investor like Eric Trump and short sellers like Marc Cohodes - just to name those two - are the kind of people you really need to stay far from. Whenever they are involved in a stock, its really important to stay away, because bad guys like Sprott and Cohodes bring only extreme bad volatility to whatever they touch. In other words, they changed everything they touch into really deep dirty shit.

Following Marc Cohodes illicit activities on the TSX, I wanted to go to California and burn his house... but thanks God I got a big chuck of California burning down in the flames of hell for me, and I had absolutely just really nothing to do, just watch. Its all the fault of Marc Cohodes who just push it to hard. Us Canadians, we should be more protective when it comes to our stock market. American short sellers of the type of Cohodes are causing a lot of disturbance on the market, and its really not a good thing. Canada has the best of everything, and trust me, its not because I didn't try to invest in US stocks. Nothing is interesting and more importantly, nothing seem to be really stable in the US. Its terribly hard to find a US stock with a correct chart like the way I like them: all the way up, and who had exceed the before 2008 stock crash value. When I watch this video, featuring Marc Cohodes, all those little fools listening to him... 

Well it make me wanted me hit him soo hard and broke his nose, and make him eat his teeth. Its not right from Cohodes to wear the color of Canada on his pitty self. It will only bring him bad luck on the long run. Marc Cohodes is so fuck up that his story is not understandable. First of all, Marc Cohodes should have enough on his plate with his handicap son and his chicken farm. After a lucrative career, Cohodes decided to come back to bet against our glorious economy. The Canadian stock market and economy is not Marc Cohodes place to be. The TSX is all mine and is my place to shine. And its not true that I will an American pig do whatever he wants on my market. 

Financial blogger are usually quiet, and are so willing to sound professional. But I am not that type of blogger. I am not delicate, I am not kind. No angel, no mercy. I cannot tolerate having a foreigner getting into our really own shit, just leave that for us to take care of. Anyhow, Americans are well-known to be dumb-dumb, we'll see how smart they'll look when North Korea will finally attack them. Fires in California participate in making the US less of a nation. Trump doesn't believe in climate change, and during that time, US healthiest state is burning to the ground. Destruction lead to destruction and as far as I am concern, seeing all of those really rich properties burning down - it may how things are supposed to be.

My stocks are my hot babies and I love them like if they would be an extension of my soul. They live, they grow, and they are fully alive. And currently........ my non-registered portfolio hit on the magic $186 410.23 chachacha. There's just no end to my luck and its not anytime soon that I will be giving up. Aphria Inc. (APH) for its part is really ALIVE. I had been pushing for the case of APH like a real drug dealer. And money is easy with APH. The stock gains more than 10% so far inside my portfolio. Can this last? My true opinion is YES, and APH has even more place to grow. IF you have money doing nothing right now, the best thing I suggest: invest in APH NOW. A couple thousands, buy, watch and see it for yourself

I wanted to be invested in something concerning cannabis because right now, marijuana is the real deal. Don't overpass this opportunity, money is just too easy. It was important for me to be involved in the medical aspect. Yes, APH is mostly focus on the medical side, but soon enough, APH will also be involved in the entertainment side and soon enough, you'll find your favorite girl with a big fat cannabis joint in her lipstick mouth, skipping up work to day trade the new Canadian gold: WEED.

This is going to be fun. ;-)

Aphria Inc. (APH) gains 2.43% inside my non-registered portfolio

Good news, I estimate my net worth to be at $218 000! My non-registered portfolio closed today session at $186 042.22, my TFSA portfolio at $63 487.59, and my RRSP portfolio, stocks only, at $38 222.78.

I still have chances to hit on 220k by the end of the year, but its going to be only by chance, and I may not even be here to figure it out and celebrate, since I will really soon be away on vacation. So next portfolio update probably going to happen only in 2018, and its only at that time that you'll find out if I made it or not to the magic number. After getting on the $200 000 net worth earlier this year, it would be to great to close this year with a clear $220k. But please, let's hope that it happen in the next couple days so I can enjoy it and be as fresh and aroogant as I can possibly be.

These days, there seem to be no end of my luck. Currently, After getting on the $200 000 net worth earlier this year, it would be to great to close this year with a clear $220k. So far, Aphria Inc. (APH) gains 2.43% inside my non-registered portfolio. Right now, all of my latest investments are in my profit zone: BMO, NA, ARE, and of course APH.

While dreaming of my 220k, I already got my suitcase ready for my vacations. Christmas gifts had been bought a long time ago. I am really all set and I am simply waiting for time to fly by and go home. Thank you and goodbye Montreal... at least a couple of days.

Aphria Inc. (APH): the newest hot sexy player of my non-registered portfolio

It feel good to have my TSX baby exceeding the 16 000 points - ONE MORE TIME. I can do a lot, but without a stock market in good shape, I cannot do much. In result of today $$$, I estimate my net worth to be sitting on a nice rock of $217 818. The ultimate fun would be to make it to the $220 000 net worth. I can make it, but the TSX will have to go a bit higher. The new gain so needed won't come from my own money because I just don't have any right now. Its going to be harder than expected to actually trade on my latest dividend stocks.

BMO is already up inside my portfolio. My plan was to actually wait for a little while and sell at profit... But its just too hard to sell good stocks that actually go up AND pay an interesting dividend.

On the other hand, Aphria Inc. (APH) is crashing my little heart in its hands just like I would be.. toilet paper?

lol

Lala. APH is going all OVER the place, so watch up.

I am confident APH will learn to behave among to way because that stock, is now mine and I control it.

Welcome in my non-registered portfolio Bank of Montreal (BMO) and Aphria Inc. (APH)!

While writing this post, I learned that Johnny Hallyday died!!! Its just so sad. Hallyday was just the pure artist, one of the greatest singer of the world.

The end of 2017 is coming in a hurry and I am just at a point where I am running in circle like a little hamster, not knowing exactly what do to about it!!! Its exciting and exhausting at the same time. I am doing the best I can. I bought today a 2018 agenda. Next year, I will be turning 38. I am just not exactly ready for that or for nothing at all. I may not have that much in term of net worth, but I do appreciate great genetics and I don't see differences between the me of now and the me of when I was 27. 38 years of age is nothing, but a dirty sexy 40 years old of age, that's going to be something my dear friends. No booty or boom jobs required - at least I can keep the money to invest. I am not exactly slim despite spending long hours at the gym. 

Genetic is absolutely smart. Fact is, I need some substance on those bones to protect myself from the stock market stress. And I need to eat junk once in a while, I cannot only eat healthy all the time, really impossible for me. God gave me the perfect protector, like a hallow. You can't ever get ready for any life events, even if you really want to. You have to build yourself with what you are lucky enough to have, whether its money (because you had been born with a silver spoon in the mouth - not my case), or body strength or super fresh temper or a great hunger not for success, but for money itself, in its essence, and nothing else.

I am absolutely ready for nothing, but I am ready to burn in the flames of the TSX because I made some other investments today. I was just laughing at myself, crazy bitch. This is just strange knowing I was more in a direction to pay down my margin. Its really what I was to. But no! STOP! I want money, I want dividend! Welcome again, big fat margin! Go go go! Do you feel all of my excitement right now?

May God protect my poor little soul from my madness, and sometimes, God is really the greatest.

Let's begin with Laurentian Bank of Canada (LB). Back on November 21, just a few days ago actually, I decided to sell all of my LB shares. Laurentian Bank was having trouble with syndicate employees. I learned the LB is the only Canadian bank to have syndicated employees. Why a syndicate? I am against syndicate when the power of a CEO cannot be fully exploited. So I sell my shares.  And I don't regret the move!

Today was supposed to be a perfect day for Laurentian Bank of Canada (LB). LB announced super good profit. And I was really impressed. However, I didn't place any buy order on LB - again, just super good instincts. During the day, LB hit the $62.90 per share. However, some strange news came by and LB closed the day at $56 per share. You can read about the story right here. It didn't took long for that clown of Marc Cohodes to retweet the story regarding LB. I cannot stand the man for 2 minutes.

Maybe I shouldn't do, but today, I invested, using my margin money, in some Bank of Montreal (BMO). BMO increased its dividend. Its profit decrease, but I am confident BMO can catch up. After all, I said that I was going to get rich on Quebec Inc. shares, and so it will happen later or sooner.

I am not in favor of the legislation of the marijuana, but I am in favor of the legislation of marijuana for medical use ONLY. For those who are in need and are suffering, marijuana can help and do a lot of goods. Marijuana oil is also a powerful medication. Recently, actually just yesterday, Aphria Inc. (APH) announced the company will become a medical cannabis supplier to Shoppers Drug Mart.Will APH be the only single medical cannabis supplier to Shoppers, that, I don't know, but it was time I get in the marijuana sector and APH obey to my ethic so let's go Aphria Inc., show me what you got deep inside.

Welcome in my RRSP portfolio Quebecor Inc. Class B Subordinate Voting Shares (QBR.B)!

I am happy that I sell out Home Capital Group Inc. (HCG) back on Friday. HCG reached the $17.29 per share today, but it closed the day at $17.16. Very glad its no longer from my portfolio. 

Following the sell of  Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. inside my RRSP - which happens a little way back, I had a couple hundreds to invest. I didn't have too many options in my watch list, but I stopped my choice on Quebecor Inc. Class B Subordinate Voting Shares (QBR.B). At a time where it appear really difficult to come alone some interesting trades agreement - its seem impossible to do with the US, and barely possible with China - well, it seem its voice of common sense to hit on businesses doing business exclusively here in Canada and in the case of Quebecor, exclusively in Quebec province. But actually, maybe Quebecor have deal outside Quebec province, I don't know. And I don't care. I just wanted something new in my portfolio to satisfy my taste for a new stock. I am actually like a Dracula, I buy and suck all of the blood until there's nothing left. But I didn't purchased today all of Quebecor stocks today, please be reassure.

Very strangely, this hell of Quebec province is my new eldorado. 

I knew I had for mission to reduce my margin usage, but I was on a good moon today and I decided to invest in National Bank of Canada (NA) inside my non-registered portfolio. I plan to play with NA and sell it for profit later on. For now, I will be enjoying the dividend. I am looking forward to sell more of my stocks for profit. I am curious to see if NA will be profitable or not on the short term run. 

Too bad the TSX went down today, it seem like market is as stress and suck up as we all are with the US and China, and North Korea. Its hard to believe that South Korea is welcoming the Winter Olympics. I wouldn't like to go there if I would be one of those poor athletes.

Saying goodbye for real to Home Capital Group Inc. (HCG)

Its hard to believe that we are already in December! I would like to stop time, just for a couple days. But that's going to happen soon because I have a few vacation days coming up and I will be gone for a little while. That mean I won't be blogging for the last couple days of December, and you'll missing me really badly.

I am trying to recall if I made any 2017 resolution, and what they where, but I am not quite sure. I of course went back at my posts of January 2017, but I stop reading after a few lines, especially after reading of myself that I - I wrote that in 2016, I learn on how bad of an investor I could be Well, guess what, 2017 had kind of be the same!! lol I can't stand reading back myself, especially when I read shitty lines that I WROTE. 

Anyhow, I remember promising myself that I would no longer color my hair or do anything color related in my hair. I took the decision a few months ago and ever since, I didn't color my hair, which is exceptional because I had being coloring my hair since my mid-twenties. I also read somewhere that hair coloration could be link to breast cancer, it help push forward the decision. Beauty products, hair coloration, its like the stock market, its addictive.

I have this perfect natural dark blonde-light brown color on which any color go on very well. So over the years, I got my hair in red, brown, blond... It was really hard for me not to color my hair for the first couple weeks. I still have a bunch of blond highlights left on. I don't actually really need to color my hair, and I like seeing my natural color coming through. By not coloring my hair, I am saving several hundred dollars a year.

2017 had been an amazing year so far. Back in March, I was reaching for the really first time $200 000 in net worth. Currently, I estimate my net worth to be around $215 000. If I am lucky and the TSX keep going on like a rocket, I have a chance to reach $300 000 in net worth in 2018, but I will need a TSX in super good shape.

While working full-time AND during day time - this could be the worst combination ever, its almost impossible to follow stock properly, at the exact time that fantastic events are happening. But this past Friday was my day of glory and oh surprise, surprise, I was watching closely Home Capital Group Inc. (HCG) and HCG was on the high and experiencing some interesting gains. I saw it as my opportunity to dumb my stocks. If you are rich, awesome and have a lot of money, you could had hold to, wait and seek for even more gains but I had developed anxiety over HCG. I guess that when I bought, I was getting over excited because of Warren Buffett was entering in stocks. But now, knowing that an American bad ass of the name of Marc Cohodes is also fooling around with HCG, it was a no-no for me. I have a feeling that HCG may even go higher Monday. For my case, I had enough of HCG - its really not my type of investment.

I also sold CAE inside my non-registered portfolio. My margin usage decreased to $90 744.37, still high, but better.
