Saying thank you and goodbye to Intertape Polymer Group Inc. (ITP)

I hope you all had a good Canada Day. I usually post a little something, but these days, it had been extra busy at work. And while I haven't been working, I am at the pool, reading at the cafe, walking around o Montreal My last paycheck was almost $2,000, it says just how busy I had been. My next paycheck should also be somewhere close to that amount. Knowing this, I went shopping yesterday and I bought two pairs of sandals, one is a pair of Birkenstock. What I had as sandals were pretty ear out. It's getting used to my feet, but they didn't hurt my feet so pair. I think they'll be a good everyday pair of sandals. I plan to bring them with me to New Brunswick.

This past Friday, the TSX lost again some major points, but I was surprised, my overall stocks portfolio only lost -0.259%. these days, I am happy when my portfolio loses just a tiny bit... It's how I react to the crazy shit shows. 

Intertape Polymer Group Inc. (ITP) is no longer trading over the TSX, which brings on some cash to my non-registered and TFSA portfolios. Like everyone else, I had received in cash CDN$40.50 per share. Since Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) is trading lower today, I decided to invest in some BNS shares for my non-registered, TFSA and RRSP portfolios. It's now official, I am earning an equivalent of a bit more than $800 in dividend income from my non-registered and TFSA portfolio. I should be able to make another investment by the end of the month, but I don't know yet in which stock I will be investing. My overall annual dividend income is getting closer to $11,500 which is really not out of reach at this point.

I am currently on vacation and I am spending the whole week in Montreal. I will go back to New Brunswick probably in the middle of next week, and I will probably stay there until the beginning of August. And following what I have a two weeks vacation in October for the hunting season, and I will probably stay there until the end of the hunting season. I may spend the whole winter there again this year. But this year, I may escape from there as soon as Easter arrived. There's still no bus going from Rivière-du-Loup to New Brunswick, it's quite a pain. It deprives me of my usual liberty, of being able to travel the way I want to, whenever I want to. 

Here in Montreal, it's currently the Jazz Festival, and I go there basically every day. I am currently on vacation. I think from now on I will always take a few vacation days if I can or the whole week during Montreal Jazz Festival. That way, I enjoy more the event. I think it's probably the best time of the year to be in Montreal. Despite the big amount of people going to the free shows, it's still enjoyable - just like the way it was before COVID hit. I had been taking some videos and pictures, I should post that soon. You should enjoy it.
