Welcome in my USA portfolio General Mills Inc. (GIS)

I was wrong! Derek Foster doesn't have 7 kids. With his newborn, which I wasn't able to learn if its a baby girl or baby boy, Derek Foster has now 8 kids! WOW! That's a courageous man! It must be hard, all that laundry, cleaning, cooking, homework, changing diapers, grocery shopping.... It's not only that... Those kids had to born. I just can't imagine myself giving birth. Nothing can beat that type of bravery. Mrs. Foster is a strong woman. The stock market is a little shit compare to such a big family life. Now we can understand why Derek Foster didn't publish any new book in a too long time now! Anyhow, you have to take whatever Derek Foster is willing to give us, poor investors. And currently, that being Enbridge Inc. (ENB) and General Mills Inc. (GIS).

Go go go! :-)

Today, I made my move in General Mills Inc. (GIS). Since its a Derek Foster stock I taught why not? Being a dad for the 8th time can only bring good luck. It's currently really difficult right now on the stock market. It seems like the trouble is at no end. My non-registered portfolio didn't stay on its $190 000 value - its highest ever - for really long. Today, my non-registered portfolio closed the session at $186 710.68, my TFSA portfolio at $63 014.34 and my RRSP portfolio (stocks only) at $37 299.25. This is what happens when the TSX slide and hit down to the 15 216.18 points. The TSX is a no man land. It's going nowhere these days. I just can dream of my $300 000 net worth. Anyhow, in the meantime, my latest investment in my TFSA portfolio, Enbridge Inc. (ENB) make some gains.

On this election year, Quebec budget seems to be really generous to Quebeckers.

I don't where we are going to hit next in term of return on the stock market, but I no longer care. I am tired and I know I am due for a little Easter vacation.

Welcome in my TFSA portfolio Enbridge Inc. (ENB)!

Easter is coming in a hurry and in the meantime, we had learned about one of Donald Trump affairs. Just like Bill Clinton before him, I believe that Trump is lying in the face of a desperate US nation.

On a happier note, Derek Foster announced today that his wife just gave birth... If I am correct, Derek Foster now has... 7 kids!!!! I was under the impression that his family was completed, he had a baby girl a couple of years ago... but I guess not. Also today, Derek announced that he made a new US investment in General Mills Inc. (GIS). This is just coming at a perfect time. Remember that I sold my Coca-Cola shares not too long ago? Well, I am going blind in the US stock market. I am probably going to invest in some General Mills Inc. (GIS) stocks.

I finally invested in Enbridge Inc. (ENB) today inside my TFSA account. I made only a small investment. It's quite hard to invest in ENB right now when the stock seems to only go down. For that reason, I only made a small investment. I didn't want to invest more. I am not super excited about this new investment, but during that time, Premium Brands Holdings Corporation (PBH) is making me proud. PBH closed today at its highest value ever: $117.08 per share! In result, my non-registered portfolio closed today session at $188 164.68. Not too bad. Just imagine how things are going to turn super great for me once the TSX hit back its old 15 600 points.....

 

Like Derek Foster, I am going to invest again in Enbridge Inc. (ENB)

Today was quite an extraordinary day for Premium Brands Holdings Corporation (PBH). PBH closed at its really highest value ever: $114.95 per share. It's now official, I am by far exceeding the 50k value in one single stock. I actually have enough to buy cash a little house in New Brunswick with my investment in Premium Brands Holdings Corporation (PBH) alone. But the best news is yet to come: my non-registered portfolio closed today session at its also highest value ever registered: $190 512.77. Its quite an event in my journey, especially knowing who badly I wanted to hold on to a $190 000 non-registered portfolio. Its now officially thing done in date of today. We'll have to see if I can possibly remain there. From now on, the next step is to reach the $200 000 value inside my non-registered portfolio - and that being without using any margin money. From now on, I am going to be a really good girl.

On this extraordinary day, my TFSA portfolio closed today session at $64 376.06, my RRSP portfolio (stocks only) at $38 175.78, and my US portfolio at $3 157.38. 

Also today, I sell all of my Coca-Cola Company (The) (KO). This is leaving me with brand new US dollars.

My tax declaration is also a dirty thing that is now officially done and completed. I have no tax to pay-back to Mr. Trudeau. I quite please. I am actually waiting to receive a small return from the federal and provincial - enough to cover the expenses from my next time in New Brunswick. Its quite greatly needed as I am running tight on cash, and that being only because I am doing the best I can to save max money for my next investment.

Yesterday, I explained that Derek Foster had posted in his newsletter, all fresh of yesterday, that he had purchased stocks of  Enbridge Inc. (ENB). I already have ENB in my portfolio. But I kept thinking of this and I told myself: if THE Derek Foster that highly participated in the fact that I am now on a 200k+ net worth, well, I taught that it may be time to WAKE UP GIRL, and invest, like Derek Foster, in some Enbridge Inc. (ENB) stocks.  

After a while, its just getting harder and harder to find a new stock to invest in. And investing in a stock that I already own is not a bad thing. I had so much success in the past by investing in Derek Foster stocks that I taught today that I should turn my back on the poor guy. What was I thinking??!!!

I own a pick chuck of my current net worth to Derek Foster and fact is, I own the presence of Premium Brands Holdings Corporation (PBH) inside my non-registered portfolio to Jean-François Tardif. Its the only stock that I bought after finding somewhere on the Web that he was suggesting this stock as an investment, he had posted a good review. And that had been many many years ago. Ever since, Jean-François Tardif retired, get back in the game and open his JFT Strategies Fund (JFS.UN). The fund had been successful in its first year, giving even an dividend to its investors, for for the past couple years, I decided to sell my JFS.UN units because it was going no where. And still, on date of today, the JFT Strategies Fund is going nowhere. What happens to my old master? Jean-François Tardif is just the shadow of what he used to be. His JFT Strategies Fund (JFS.UN) is not registering any grow. Its like I am a much better investor than Jean-François Tardif now!

What happens to him? Well, my idea of that is that Jean-François Tardif has better things to do rather than being the best, and he's having too many relationships with too many mistresses. SLOW DOWN mister.

So I am going to invest again in Enbridge Inc. (ENB) stocks and I just hope for Jean-François Tardif that he'll learn to do better in a close future.

At least, Derek Foster is still on the right side of the game, and that being for my only benefit and yours, if you want too.

THANK YOU GOD FOR GIVING ME DEREK FOSTER.

AND OF COURSE JEAN-FRANCOIS TARDIF TOO OK.

:-)

Getting ready to say goodbye to Coca-Cola Company (The) (KO)

When I like a stock, I like a stock. PBH had been a major holder in my portfolio for already many years now. And today, I received a wonderful gift. Premium Brands Holdings Corporation (PBH) closed today session at $113.3 - its really highest value EVER. And I don't know if you are ready for this, but my non-registered closed today session at $189 227.04 - which is so super close to the so wanted $190 000 mark! I will only be in heaven when I finally be there.

In the meantime, I have a couple of things I am looking into. This week, my tax declaration 2017 will be done and completed. I will find out if I owe anything to the big Tax Man. If I don't have to give any more money away, I may go ahead with a TFSA contribution. It's about time, and I know its a shame, but I have 10k in contribution room available.

I am not really pleased with my Coca-Cola Company (The) (KO) US investment. I am thinking about selling that investment. I just had made enough in capital gains on this one to cover the commission fee sell... Also, I am currently on a diet (getting ready for the summer) and I found out that Coca-Cola, even in its diet products, contains aspartame. Aspartame is a substitute for sugar, but it could be can be a carcinogen. Even chewing gum contains aspartame. That shit appears to be a bit everywhere. Today was the day of the Francophonie. And to celebrate, if you are curious to learn more, I strongly recommend a book by French nutritionist Corinne Gouget Additifs alimentaires danger!

Vive le français! Miss dumb-dumb Michaëlle Jean who's an expert at spender money as head of the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie didn't come with any revolution in defense of the francophonie and she's not a really strong leader. Her Majesty the Queen came along with a completely fuck up project: a $1 million luxury cruise. It will actually be useless, with no standing results. If the bitch has a million dollar at her disposal, she should be used it to create a scholarship fund, and give away that money to make a real difference in the life of French Haitian or Africans. Michaëlle Jean never came along with some realistic, really useful projects. The only thing she's good at is spending money, without meaning. She's the perfect example of super fresh immigrant and this is the perfect example on why we shouldn't accept immigrants in Canada. Sooner or later, they like to mess up with us. Michaëlle Jean is a shame to Canada. 

In his latest newsletter, Derek Foster announced today that he had invested in Enbridge Inc. (ENB). Nothing to be too excited about. It seem like I am really on my own when it comes to find a new super stock to invest in. I already own some ENB stocks in my portfolio and I try to go outside the oil sectors as new fantastic new stock investments. Currently, I am impressed by Parkland Fuel Corp (PKI). PKI had experiment a lot of volatility but in days like today, I am on a gain when it comes to PKI, so not too bad. Let's go PKI, make mommy proud.

Now, if only my Aphria Inc. (APH) stocks could gain value, my life would be extraordinary.

Ladies and gentlemen, my baby Premium Brands Holdings Corporation (PBH) is hitting hard in the woods

Let's go Premium Brands Holdings Corporation (PBH) and burn the house. Go go go!

I just published my first portfolio update for the year 2018. I usually only publish an update when I exceed the previously published portfolio. However, I did an exception today because I was really curious to find out about my current exact net worth. Back in December 2017, my net worth was of $221 989.65. I am currently on a net worth of $217 246.23, I am behind by -$4 743.42, which is not too bad. $221 989.65 was the highest value I ever reached. It's actually quite normal to be below the highest value at some point. I am confident that I will back on it soon. I am not getting any help from Donald Trump, that's for sure.

Donald Trump is causing a lot of stress to stock markets. It's really not an easy thing to be an investor under Trump administration. Its actually a living hell and our belove TSX is put under pressure.

This past Friday session was a good one. Those 15 711.33 points felt quite good. And even better, this past Friday, I saw my belove Premium Brands Holdings Corporation (PBH) hitting the $110.35 per stock. Knowing PBH is a big holder in my portfolio, I was in heaven. So damn lucky, like always. I will be actually a lot happier if now my precious Aphria Inc. (APH) stocks could simply hit back the $20 value. Right now I am not smoking weed, its weed who's burning me upside down. It seems to me like I am not asking that much. APH is super volatile and I belive it will eventually hit back the $20 per share value. In the meantime, it allows be to digest the shock and I am just really thankful that I didn't invest a too big amount on this one.

Following my last portfolio updates, I don't know if you have noticed, but I will help you out: my non-registered portfolio is at its highest value ever. At $187 654.72, its even exceeding its December 2017 value. And right now, there's just one thing that I want, its to get on the $190 000 value for my non-registered portfolio. However, I am in no rush, for several reasons: the TSX can go lower anytime, and I also don't have that much in cash right now, tooo bad.

Another interesting fact, its actually in March of last year that I was reaching my first $200k net worth.

Its unfortunate, but so far, 2018 is not a good year and I am probably not going to be on the $300 000 net worth anytime soon. I am just a very poor little girl.

Hourraa, Savaria Corporation (SIS) increased its dividend distribution

This is slowly getting better and we are getting where I used to be. My non-registered portfolio closed Friday session at $184 440.95, my TFSA portfolio at $64 366.52 and my RRSP portfolio (stocks only) $38 041.68. Back on December 2017, my non-registered value was $1841 21.21, TFSA at $64 162.01, RRSP (stocks only) $38 676.57. Trump finally decided not to press extra charges on our aluminum business that we bring to the US, we don't hear any more trouble in regard of the Euro and Greece, Trump is even thinking about meeting Kim Jong-un in May... Can the man who terrorize Canadians and Mexicans may possibly restore world peace with North Korea?

Peace and no Euro trouble are good positive things that bring stability into stocks markets worldwide, and such things are greatly needed. I am just at a point where I am going to boost my December 2017 very good portfolio results, and that being without too much trouble. The only stock that is problematic for me right now is Aphria Inc. (APH). This stock is super volatile, I was just in the hope of quick gains, but it didn't happen the way it should. However, recent good investments are making it easy to move forward. My good picks, like my recent investment in Canadian Real Estate Investment Trust (REF.UN) is making it easy to move on.

Savaria Corporation (SIS) closed this past Friday with a 5.09% gain, which is quite spectacular. And another good news is that SIS increased its annual dividend by 10 cents. With this recent increased and recent DRIPs inside my non-registered portfolio, my annual dividend income (excluding RRSP) is now at $8 433.63, which is an equivalent of $702.80 per month. 

I keep thinking about investing in Logistec Corp (LGT.B) for now.

My non-registered portfolio is now at $184 017.71

I am quite impress with myself because this year, I proceed with my tax declaration really early. Its not done and completed yet, but it will soon enough. Today had been good for me on the TSX, and this being despite Donal Trump being so hard on us. My non-registered portfolio closed the session at $184 017.71, my TFSA portfolio $63 760.70, and my RRSP portfolio (stocks only) $37 545.32. I am quite impress by those numbers. Once I will be on a $190 000 non-registered portfolio, I will be in heaven.

Currently, its quite difficult to understand what's going on with Donald Trump. Tariffs on steel and aluminum seem to be a big deal not only for us Canadians, but for Americans too. I would just like to know if the US has enough of aluminum and steel to cover their own needs. If the USA don't need our aluminum and steel, its just "normal" that it get taxes higher by Trump the beef. But I just hope for him that he really don't need any of our products. Its quite monstuous of Donald Trump to put pressure on the NAFTA negociations the way he's going right now. And its why I like Donald Trump soooo much. What a beast!!! What a monstruous leader!!! And he so doesn't care of what he might think of him!!! I really adore Donald Trump. However, I wouldn't like to be at the place of the poor Melania who doesn't seem to be at her place at all in the White House. Trump is too big and loud and just doesn't realize that he has a wife on his side.

Now I confirm, I am really happy that I sell my TFSA Bombardier Inc. (BBD.B) stocks. BBD.B announced the release of new stocks, but however, its not something that seem to excited the investors that much because BBD.B is under a down turn right now. Bombardier Inc. (BBD.B). Today could had been a black day on the market, but it wasn't too bad, depite the aluminum situation and stuff going on. Better get use to it, we'll probably going to deal with ups and downs until the NAFTA deal get sign in. 

I recently find out that I have a TFSA contribution room left of a bit more than $10 000. Its currently hard for me to do any new TFSA contribution for many reasons. The number one reason being that I hold a really too big margin, I am currently exceeding the $103 000 and because I have such a huge debt against my non-registered portfolio, its making extremely hard to do any contribution in kind over my TFSA account. Because of the current state of the market, I prefer to remain calm and not move anything belonging to my non-registered portfolio over my TFSA portfolio.

Of course, I could simply use some fresh new cash and have it transfered over my TFSA account, but because my margin is so fat right now, I prefer to put the cash to pay down and reduce the use of that superb margin.

While planning to do a TFSA contribution in kind, its really important that you take in consideration that every investment you moved from non-registered to TFSA will reduce the value of that same margin.  To stay safe, I always look to have at least a minimum left of $13 000 on my margin money that is not use. It's a small amount, and its actually not enough to be really safe, but so far, its how I had been handling my margin. And before leaving for a vacation, I always transferred money from my credit line over my margin. I usually add an extra $10 000 to my margin that way.

All this to say that its not an easy task to proceed with a contribution in kind while dealing with a margin account, but its not impossible. 

One tip: before proceeding to a contribution in kind, make sure you inject the amount of the loan value worth by the investment over the non-registered account. After what, you'll be able to proceed more safely to the TFSA contribution in kind.

I currently have close to $1 000 in cash inside my TFSA (following the sell of my BBD.B shares) - but I am not 100% sure what to invest in. I thinking about Logistec (LGT.B).

In the search of new stocks for my portfolio: Vitreous Glass Inc. (VCI) and Logistec (LGT.B)

Susan Brunner recently reviewed my really last investment: Canadian Real Estate Investment Trust (REF.UN). Her review is positive. REF.UN is in good posture in my non-registered portfolio. Despite the the current bad stock market environment, REF.UN registered a capital gain in my portfolio this past Friday. The sell of my Bombardier Inc. (BBD.B) stocks inside my TFSA portfolio left me with a small amount to invest. I am already exposed enough to REITs and financial stocks, so I am really trying to avoid anything related to banks, etc... And its a well-known fact that I already hold on to so many great stocks in my portfolio. However, I am always in the search of something new to invest.

But why so? For many reasons. The best of the TSX cannot simply be in what I already know. There's so many stocks on the TSX, I cannot simply know now all of the best stocks that hold the TSX. Also, there's always new businesses that are being created, and existing businesses merge to created a new one, like it was the case with Nutrien Inc. (NTR). I truly belive that my next everything is hidden somewhere in the mass. Its always interetsing to find a new stock to invest in.

Personally, I don't have any interest for stocks involved in insurance. Manuvie, and others: its a big no no for me. So far in my investment life, I never invested in an insurance stocks. Just have a look at the chart of Manuvie, all rocky and ugly.

Currenlty, I am looking for a stock that would be involved in the environment. I have checked on Waste Connections Inc (WCN) before. However, WCN is really expensive and pay really little in dividend. Among the way, I made an interesting finding using Stockopedia: Vitreous Glass Inc. (VCI). At this time, VCI doesn't pay any dividend and seem to be only doing business in Alberta. If VCI could extend their operations in other provinces and pay a dividend, Vitreous Glass Inc. (VCI) could be a good investment. 

Anoher interesting stock, that I find this time on Susan Brunner's blog: Logistec (LGT.B). 

The search continue, but so far, Logistec (LGT.B) seems to be a good pick.

Toronto-Dominion Bank (The) (TD) increased its dividend distribution

Another very great news on the TSX: TD bank decided to increase its dividend distribution and in result, my annual dividend income - excluding like always my RRSP distribution - is now at a fabulous $8 373.15which is really almost the equivalent of $700 per month.

Oh no, its tax season AGAIN. Tax season for the Dividend Girl = Impôts Ici

I finished this day on a happy note with a good coffee glass - since I don't have anything fancier with the exception of a champagne glass look alike, but its in plastic - of sherry on my table desk simply because I was desperately searching for a USB key that I have a bunch of back up stuff on it, all of my bitch life is on that damn thing and I couldn't find it. Just at a time when I was feeling so miserable that I could jump out of the window - I magically find my key. What a release. I taught that maybe I had left it in my Dhawa Santa Maria room in Cuba since I had brought it with me ???... But the precious key was simply misplaced. I usually have a good memory, but sometimes, I misplace things like anybody else. Anyway, it allows me to do some cleaning with my stuff, even if everything is pretty much all set at this time. I must say that my papers and stuff are pretty much in good orders. I like to clean, clean, clean. I usually dedicated a good part of my Saturday cleaning and I only have a tiny little living space. Imagine me with a home. It would be horrible. And by the way, just saying, if you want to make me really happy, a bottle of good sherry will do the thing thank you. Once I hit $300 000 in net worth, I will buy a couple of nice stuff in crystal to drink my alcohol in it.

I am slowly getting ready for my tax declaration. If it happens that you are unfortunately living in Quebec province, you have no choice, your tax declaration needs to be completed in Quebec. I had the genius idea to complete my tax declaration in Ontario while working in Gatineau (such a smart idea!!), but that didn't work out... And I also tried to have my tax declaration done in New Brunswick while living in Montreal, but that didn't work out either. And you need to switch you medical card AND driver license to a Quebec driver one since you are now living in Quebec. Please just don't do like a lady I especially know. Its not easy to be living in Montreal, but if you live in Montreal, I have a super good address where you can have done your 2017 tax declaration at a very fair price: Impôts Ici. I had been going there for many many years now and they do a very good job with my tax declaration. Imagine, they manage all of my dividend tax papers, my capital gain and loses, employment papers....Impôts Ici had always worked very hard for me because in the past years I can tell you, I worked at multiple jobs at the same time, I used to be self-employed too at the same time... ohhh papers, papers, f papers!

Impôts Ici is really the place to go for your tax declaration and I am saying it really honestly. I am not receiving a penny for saying about all the good work they did for me. They have enough of having to handle my too many papers. Their services are much more honest than H&R Block. Many years ago, only because I was self-employed, I have to pay close to $400 to H&R Block to have my tax declaration done. It was very expensive for the simple reason that I was self-employed. That year, I had made $35 000 only! I complained, received a call from a Quebec office somewhere and the lady at the phone was really upset at me because I had placed a complain. I never received any compensation and I never used H&R Block tax declaration ever again and I will never visit a H&R Block office ever again. When that incident happens, especially because of the call I received from them was really offensive, they had lost a customer for a lifetime. Don't ever go to an H&R Block office anyway because its a business that is based in the US. And right now, I am trying to stop consume anything coming from the USA.

Lately, I was under the impression and I was REALLY hoping to see my TSX hitting the 15 800 points soon enough. I was going to be on top of my game again! I was going to shine like never before..... but no way! Take that Dividend Girl, and go to hell and burn. Burn baby burn. And its really burning. The TSX is not the place to be if you are a nervous person or if, worst, you are the type of individual who easily suffer from anxiety. I am in a position where I don't care anymore. Maybe because I am drunk? lol

So much fun, it's unbelievable. I am actually always hoping for the best no matter what, its the only way to survive. Following my reading of Susan Brunner latest Bombardier cover, I decided to sell the Bombardier Inc. (BBD.B) stocks that I was holding inside my TFSA. I was lucky, I was able to sell my Bombardier stocks at $4.14 per share and I generate a little profit. I am better off without Bombardier. Just a friendly advice: when Susan Brunner writes a negative review about a stock, you are better to sell asap. Earlier in 2017, I have held on to a small investment in Dollarama Inc. (DOL), I had bought my shares at $139.18, and I later sell them at $149 when I read Susan bad review about DOL. And I am happy that I sell at that time, because DOL is not that of a solid stock. Overall, 2017 had been a good year for me. After all, its the year when for the first time I reached $200 000 in net worth.

So far 2018 is not easy, but I personally think that Trump won't be around for really long and it should get better soon enough. It fell like Donal Trump is breaking our back into every single corner. It's annoying. And all possibility of recovery is being destroyed by his willingness to make America first. Should we never forget all the damaged the USA is doing to the world.

I didn't forget my post about contribution in kind for TFSA - should come soon.
