Nutrien Ltd. (NTR) increased it's dividend distribution

Only four days left before the end of May - which haven't been an easy one, like not at all and I can't wait for its end. And it seems like the TSX is reacting the same way. Today, for once, we got a break from the US stock market. We could be from our own self. The TSX gains more than 100 points today, go go go, leaving my non-registered portfolio at $123 937.73, my TFSA portfolio at $72 415.64‬ and my RRSP portfolio - stocks only - at $45 041.48‬. Not too bad! While checking up on my babies tonight, it was just like if I had noticed it for the first time in a long long time! Let me explain.

While fully loading of many many stocks like I do, and that you had been investing in stocks for more than 10 years in a row now, at a point, some stocks of mine had become part of my natural environment. Like I am EMA. And EMA being me, I know that EMA is a good stock, I check on it from time to time. I am used to see that one in the $40 value +. But currently, time might have passed by, my precious EMA stocks are now trading over $50! Fact is, Emera Incorporated (EMA) had been in my portfolio since.... 2010, for what I had been able to find. I am used to having EMA in my portfolio, so sometimes, I barely see it. But tonight, EMA got all of my attention. EMA currently within its top value - the highest value for the past 52 weeks had been in the... $52! Coincidence? I don't believe in coincidence.

Just to add up to other good news, Nutrien Ltd. (NTR) had increased its quarterly dividend distribution from $0.43 to $0.45. Nothing to turn crazy, but free cash is free cash. After this, what can happen next? Tell me. But I am not done yet. It's unfortunate, but I hold to some loser stocks in my portfolio. Among them, we find Hydro One Limited (H). However, right now, I am really closed to register a gain on H. It was about time. I name "troublemaker stocks" stocks that I have problems to rely on to register a gain. Not too long ago, Jamieson Wellness Inc. (JWEL) happens to be on that mental list for a little while. But now, JWEL is back in the game and I am now experiencing a gain. While holding on to as many stocks as I do, it's always a good idea to always check on your troublemaker stocks, just in case the little troublemaker get in some deep shit.

 

For me, that's it, I am fully load and I have absolutely have all the stocks I need to hit on the $300 000 without too much pain. This is what it is to be a retail investors in a dark bear market, every step of the way is a real pain but at the end, check out for the magic bucks. For me, real richness begins with a $300 000 net worth. That's when it will get really exciting. For now, it's just an exercise. Let see if I can make it or not.
