Looking forward to what will happen to my Kinder Morgan Canada Limited restricted voting shares (KML) shares

Today I worked from home and I went to bed straight after for a little nap. The worst thing being is that is I am still feeling tired so I probably going to sleep like a baby after this post is done and gone.

Yes, it's another super great day for the TSX. From now on, whenever we are closing over the 17,000 points, we are in business. And that means that it's been a good day for the TSX. And today had been one of those good days. My non-registered portfolio closed today session at $118,913.08, my TFSA portfolio at $84,183.33, and my RRSP stocks only portfolio at $48,173.82. Only my non-registered portfolio is on a down spirit.

It seems like the CN employees are no longer on strike, so that release a bit of stress on my indelicate shoulders. I am still checking over Savaria Corporation (SIS) - it's looking like SIS is just doing fine for now. Kinder Morgan Canada Limited restricted voting shares (KML) is under progress to be integrated with PPL, but I just don't get what will happens to KML shares. I guess they will simply get on a roller and integrate PPL regular shares.

You might not believe, but since I am now exceeding 3k in my savings account, I am currently shopping on TD for a GIC, but they kind of all suck. And here am I, at the point where I am always: why should I leave money in the bank while the TSX had been my best buddy lately? Love is definitively in the air between me and the TSX. And the best thing is that 2020 could just continue on those same good vibes. I am probably going to hit the 250k net worth in no time, and it's about time.

Knowing that the TSX is the place to be, why should I leave precious money at the bank? That's my dilemma. TD with is bad selection of GIC is not helping me getting away from my old habits.

Trouble ahead for Nutrien Ltd. (NTR)?

The TSX is quite interesting and full of surprises. The TSX closed today's session on a fantastic 17,032.86 points. So far, my prediction seems to be right: the 17 000 points could really be the new natural for the TSX. Like announced yesterday, I checked on Savaria Corporation (SIS), but everything seems to be under control. Savaria Corporation (SIS) is trading in the $14 per share, which is super great. Right now, I am not worrying about SIS, but more about Nutrien Ltd. (NTR).

The CN strike is having major negatives effects on our economy. The TSX may be in the magic 17,000 points for now, but that could be somewhat of only an illusion. I don't know if, currently, our economical state really reflect something as powerful and alienating as 17,000 points. Because those 17,000 points are my newest source of obsession. And the obsession is of the following: day after day, will the TSX closed on 17,000 points or higher? Because if it goes lower or when it does, it can be quite disappointing. 17,000 points mean a lot to me. And especially means a girl on top of her game. After experiencing a $237 000 net worth, I can say that the hunger to experiencing even more gains has never been so strong.

I don't know It's not something I ever taught about, but currently, the CN strike is causing severe damaging to our economy. It wasn't long ago that Derek Foster announced that he was investing in Nutrien Ltd. (NTR). Since I like to take it easy, I decided that since THE Derek Foster was investing in NTR, I was going to follow him like a little muppet and invest, again, in NTR. Back in the days, I had been a really proud holder of some Agrium stocks. With Agrium, I was on top of the world, I was on wealthy profit, registering several thousands of healthy cash with Agrium. Unfortunately, the party is now long gone and over. Ever since Agrium transforms itself and became Nutrien Ltd. (NTR), things haven't been easy. Nutrien Ltd. (NTR) is not able to reach half of the good profit that I had with Agrium. And because of this, I had sold out half of the stocks that I was holding of NTR. Currently, the situation is getting any better and could go even worst, thanks to the CN strike. 

I have never been really satisfied with Nutrien Ltd. (NTR). I know I wrote a little way back that I was going to invest again in NTR, but now, I am doubting. I am not feeling like adding more stocks of my NTR in my portfolio is the right thing to do. I prefer to add something new - or something else.

Kinder Morgan Canada Limited (KML) is hitting on the right direction with PPL

Currently, my net worth is probably not exactly on the 237k like last time, but I am certainly not that far away from that magic number. The reason why is quite simple, the TSX closed this past session on a lower note. However, at 16,954.84 points, the TSX is quite in good shape these days. My non-registered portfolio closed at $119,389.78, my TFSA portfolio at $83,542.01, and my RRSP portfolio at $48,306.88. With a non-registered portfolio at almost 120k, a TFSA portfolio at almost 85k, and an RRSP portfolio at almost 50k, I couldn't sincerely hope for better results. 2019 - so far - had been a crazy roller coaster ride for the TSX. The stock market is everything, but not certainly not a relaxing place to be. You have to think that I started the year on a tiny little $191 000 net worth, and now, 11 months later, I am almost sitting down on a really gorgeous $240 000, so yeah, it's been the hell of a tough ride, but at the end, it all plays to my entire benefit. And this confirms all that I believe in. 

I read some articles regarding stocks and finance here and there. I noticed recently an article - but I don't remember where - in which the so-called specialist said that it was time to cash in some profit, that the stock market could drop, etc. etc. etc. Well, nothing is new when it comes to the stock market. The same old song remains. Everything is to be expected, don't ever be sure of anything, even of your opinion, don't trust no one. The stock market is dictated by invisible forces, invisible financial circles that can play in your favor, just like it can lavish you right down next to the ground. When it comes to investing in stock, time is your best friend, and impatience is your worst enemy. It all has to do about your age and what you can handle as risks. If you have time in your hand and if you can handle risks, I believe that the stock market is the place to be.  

This evening in La Presse, I noticed that Richard Dufour wrote about Savaria Corporation (SIS). for the past 10 days, a member of the Bourassa family who owns Savaria, the CEO's brother, unfortunately, decided to sell thousands and thousands of stocks that he owned of SIS. That's no good news for investors of Savaria Corporation (SIS). Back in the days, I had invested in Savaria Corporation (SIS) following my reading of an article by Richard Dufour of La Presse. And now today, I am leaving, from the same voice, bad news that could lead to a little disaster. Personally, I am mostly a buy-and-hold investor. But when I learned a news like this one, it makes me think again. I am now in a panic mode about this - the news that Richard Dufour is reporting had been going on for the past 10 days. This means that the infamous Bourassa brother had been massively selling Savaria Corporation (SIS) for the past 10 days. However, for the past 10 days, Savaria Corporation (SIS) had registered great results on the TSX. Nothing to worry about, but I will be checking closely at SIS tomorrow at the opening. Thanks to Richard Dufour, I made several thousand in profit on the back of SIS and I hope that things will remain that way. Forever love between me and SIS. If I sell, trust me, it will be to cash in some fresh money.

Today, I was visiting the Salon du livre de Montréal, and saw Pierre Karl Péladeau, CEO of a company that I hold inside my RRSP portfolio because I am a really smart girl: Quebecor Inc. (QBR.B). I am invested in Quebecor Inc. (QBR.B), but I don't share the political views of Péladeau. I am a pure federalist, nothing else.

 In the second picture, Péladeau is the second to the right.

On another note, our wonderful federal government agreed with the merger of Kinder Morgan Canada Limited (KML) with Pembina Pipeline Corporation (PPL). It took forever to be announced. I had been holding on to KML for quite some time, without being sure if the deal was going to happen or now... This actually makes me remembered of my investment in Aecon Group Inc. (ARE), when I invested in ARE, hoping that the deal with China was going to happen, and just waiting for ARE to EXPLODED in $$$... History didn't happen, unfortunately. But I really like ARE, it's a strong company and I really proud to own some shares in my TFSA portfolio.

To complete this post, I will finish on a good note. I had received a little payment for my online activities, as well as my regular paycheque. I had transferred some money in my savings account. The good news is that I now have $3 033 in savings! Isn't great coming from a girl poor on cash, but rich in stocks?!

I am now at my highest value EVER: celebrating a $237,207.74 net worth!

This past Friday, I had updated my investment portfolio. I just had no choice since the TSX decided to pop up the 17 000 points. As a result, I closed this past Friday session at my highest net worth value EVER: $237,207.74. I am getting closer to the 240k net worth, and the 250k doesn't appear to be too far away. And now, it seems like 17 000 points had become a new natural for the TSX. We closed today session on a really nice 17,025.11 points. My non-registered portfolio closed today at $120,782.91, my TFSA portfolio at $83,693.25 and my RRSP portfolio at $47,811.39. My numbers are quite strong, at this beginning of winter who started in the flesh of cold.

It's quite hard to believe that we are on a 17 000 points, especially now, while Donald Trump is facing impeachment. But no matter what, these days, both Canada and the US had registered really strong gains for their respective stock markets. I was quite shocked to see that 17 000 points coming my way. This game was going to be easy after all. I started the year 2019 with a $191,009.83 net worth, and now, I am getting ready to close the same year with a $240,000, let say $245,000 net worth, which represents a possible gain for 2019 exceeding 50k. This illustrates a direct positive effect related to my own personal financial situation. I don't suggest this to anyone. I often said that I wanted to increase the savings that I have in my bank account. I now have almost $3,000 in cash saving, but it's been easy: I am not tempted to buy anything on the stock market right now. Also, the fact that I am almost 100% invested in stocks had helped me to jump in profit.

It's been quite busy at work for the past couple weeks and while facing busy hours, I stopped drinking water, I had been eating out a lot more outside, I stopped working out (because I was too tired), and in result, I gained a couple pounds... During those hard days, my investment portfolio took care of business by itself and while this poor honey girl was working super hard, my investment portfolio was working super hard too. Now, let say that I am working at fixing my problems. I can gain weight super quickly, but to lose it, it takes more time, discipline. I need to drink water, I need to eat super healthy, eat vegetables, and bring my lunch to work. I had been back on my old ways now for a little while, so my little problem should get fixed soon. I already began to lose a few pounds. So that's good news, isn't it? I need to do this now before it gets out of control.

The only problem that I have right now is that I wonder if recession signs are still on. Nothing is easy on the stock market. It's nice to be on a 17 000 points, feel like heaven, I am the Queen of the TSX and I never ever had a  $237,207.74 of my own before, but I wonder if it will last and if the true natural state of our belove TSX is at where it should be right now. Currently, it's looking like Alberta province is facing a downturn, something is currently going on with Canadian National Railway Co (CNR), which is a stock that I massively hold in my portfolio. I mean, nothing is safe, nothing is secure, so you got to do what you need to do: enjoy the moment when it passes and me at the top of things because I am.

I had reached my highest net worth value EVER!

With a TSX that closed in the 16,877‬ points, I couldn't have done any better. Yesterday, when I update my portfolio value, I wasn't expecting a high 235k net worth, more exactly $235,168.39. It took me 12 years to get there (I had been building up my investment since 2007, the year that I started this blog). It could seem like a really long road, but when I started, I only wanted a $50 000 of my own and back then, I taught that it would take me forever. I never taught that one day I would have a $235 000 of my own. It's only a number. Fact that I own $235 000 doesn't change anything in my life, but let say that I am more secure financially. And I have mix feelings on how much it represents a huge and small amount at the same time. Since everything is back in stocks and that my stocks are my babies, which I won't sell, I can only benefit from the dividend distribution that those stocks provide. Luckily, so far in my life, I never had to sell any of my stocks because I had needed money. I do sometimes sell stocks, but it's never a matter of necessity.

Yesterday when I updated my portfolio, in my mind, I was set for a 232k net worth, so that 235k net worth was quite a nice surprise. I am enjoying the moment. It's precisely the reason why I had posted an updated of my investment portfolio because I know too well how much the stock market can be volatile. Don't forget that I started the year 2019 with a net worth that was below the 200k net worth: $191,009.83. Between January and November 8, 2019, by net worth gains $44,158.56, which is quite enormous. I have to say that I still remember the feeling of having to deal with a net worth below the 200k mark. It wasn't fun, I was quite upset. No one ever truly explains how hard it is to be an investor. But no matter how hard it can get, rewards come, sooner or later. The stock market can only naturally go up over time, especially since the governments are closely involved, with the help of all central banks worldwide. Nothing bad can last too long, but that doesn't preserve us from the volatility.

For the past couple of weeks, I had been sticking to my savings plan, which was to put away $200 per paycheque in my savings account. I now almost have 3k in my savings account, this plan is working well for me. 2020 is not that far away and once January 2020 finally arrived, I would like to take my investment in Kinder Morgan Canada Limited restricted voting shares (KML) for a TFSA contribution in kind.

Surprise: Derek Foster is now investing in Nutrien Ltd. (NTR)!

So far, it's been a good week for the TSX. The pretty almost kick in the 16 700 points, which is absolutely AMAZING. It's quite an exciting time because I am secretly hoping for the TSX to hit on the 17 000 points. In result of those super hot numbers, my non-registered portfolio closed today session at very good $118,543.87, my TFSA portfolio at $82,650.57‬ and my RRSP portfolio at $46,056.85‬. I now have 420.90$ in cash inside my TFSA portfolio, which means that soon enough I will have enough to place a new investment.

In his latest newsletter, Derek Foster informs his readers that stocks are expensive right now, so he's pretty much in the same mood as I am right now, not really investing, but he had been investing in Nutrien Ltd. (NTR). And of course, pretty already own that one inside her portfolio. What can I say? I already hold on to the best of what the TSX has to offer. That's the reason why I keep saying over and over again that my investment portfolio has everything it needs to be in the $300 000 net worth. I know I do. I am absolutely, absolutely sure. With age, I am getting better and better at cashing in profit while doing at all, or almost. 

The year 2020 is just around the corner. And who says new year say new money to be invested in the TFSA portfolio! I don't know if you have noticed this, but the list of stock that I hold inside my non-registered portfolio is going shorter. That because I do contribution in kind for my TFSA, since I am so short in cash, I prefer to take stocks that I hold inside my non-registered portfolio and have them shipped to my TFSA portfolio just like magic by Santa TD Waterhouse hot brokers.

For a while, it looks like Savaria Corporation (SIS) was just going nowhere, but now, I am reassured now because I am under the impression that SIS will be in the $14 per stock and that's cool because SIS is a bit everywhere in my portfolio: in my non-registered portfolio, TFSA portfolio AND my RRSP portfolio. Got to love that stuff for sure!

Check it out, Susan Brunner had posted a review about a stock that I hold inside my TFSA portfolio: Brookfield Asset Management Inc. Class A Limited Voting Shares (BAM.A).

And just one last thing, I had been noticing that my investment in SIR Royalty Income Fund (SRV.UN) had been losing in value. This is quite annoying. 

I think I will just follow Derek Foster and pick Nutrien Ltd. (NTR) as my next investment, even if I already have this one in my TFSA portfolio. At a point, too much candy is too much candy, I don't know which one to pick no one. Why should I literally tortured myself, trying so desperately to find THE stock that will push me forward to the $300 000 net worth, while Derek Foster is just there and happily throwing away some nice investment ideas. Thank you Derek Foster :0)

 

More cold cash please

I really like this time of year, the winter hour time change. It gives an extra hour to do everything needed on a Sunday before starting another week at work. And soon enough we'll be in the year 2020.

I was quite happy this past Friday to see the TSX getting closer to the 16 600 points. In my opinion, my net worth was going to be in the $232 000, but after updating my investment portfolio and debt pages earlier today, I found out that it wasn't the case. Compare to September of this year, my net worth only grow of $95.97. However, I am happy that my value actually didn't increase. I prefer a really small gain rather than a rough decline. One thing that I am happy about is that my savings account is slowly building up. It's something I wanted to work on for quite some time, but now that I am getting a bit older, I find that it doesn't make sense to have so little in savings and have everything pack in stocks only or almost... This is something that had been in my mind also for quite some time. I can be quite lazy, but when I get my mindset on something, I became a fast runner.

It doesn't look at it at first, but if I continue putting away only $200 per paycheque for the 12 months, it's $7,712.91 I will have in savings, instead of the tiny little $2,512.91 that I currently have. Eventually, I would like to have at least $20,000 in cash reserved. More is only better. It could happen in less than 4 years if I stick to this easy plan, so why not.

I feel like I am not that far away from a $300,000 net worth. It's just really hard these days to get where I want to be. The stock market being super volatile, it can actually be a good idea to just focus on putting money aside for savings rather than thinking about my next investment... I unfortunately don't have anything in mind as a new investment ideas. I feel like I have everything I need in my portfolio to hit on that magic number. Right now, the only thing I am missing in order to be a perfect investor is more savings, or what I like to introduce as cold cash in the beginning of each of my investment portfolio updates.
