It was another good day for the TSX, which closed the day within 19,000 points. We are now only missing 937.15 points to hit the old 20,000 points. I notice that my non-registered hit on the 142k, closing at $142,073.00, my US portfolio at $4,778.56, my RRSP portfolio - stocks only - at $64,016.65, and my TFSA portfolio at $119,856.65. I estimate my net worth to maybe be around $331,000. I am now only missing $30,000 in order to hit back my old highest net worth value, which was $361,000. I don't see this as a super huge gap. $30,000 is a lot of money, but it's not awful. My margin debt is now below $46,000 which is great.
Despite inflation and other things I have no control over, I have to admit that I am in a great place right now. Since I came back to Montreal, I went through a massive process of going through my clothes, old books, old fake pieces of jewelry, papers... I am sort of a hoarder in a certain way, but I know it. I could say that I am actually a good hoarder. Once I am in the mood and see the necessity of it, I declutter without any problems. I am a good hoarder because I can get rid of things easily. And real hoarders or actually not able to view themselves as they are - but I personally have no problem with that It happen I was in that sort of mood a few months ago, which help a lot. Now, the only thing I am still working on is my papers. And you may ask yourself, what I mean by papers. Well, it goes to old tax papers, to stuff you had from your school years, old financial statements - all sort of papers that I just put away, and keep over the years. I am well advanced but I want to keep a copy - an electronic one - of what is important to me. And I am currently dealing with the most precious part if I may say. I don't have too much left to go through, but because I don't have that much left, I just don't move forward in that task.
So that's my main project for the days to come.
I also put on sale some items I don't use or need anymore. I did a good job with that selling an old laptop and old smartphone. I had sold a purse just a few days ago. I think it was yesterday, don't ask me. I didn't sleep well last night because of the extremely hot weather, but today is much better in Montreal. I don't really like social media, but I have to say that I had sold all of my stuff on Facebook's Marketplace. I got many replies for my old electronic items over there and they sold very quickly. I was really impressed. If you have anything for sale, I strongly suggest Marketplace, it's quite a powerful tool, much more than Kijiji alone, but I do both.
The end of July is coming, and with it, a brand new $2,000 I will have at my disposal to do whatever I want to do with it. I want to invest it partly, and I was thinking about probably investing a bit in Brookfield Asset Management Inc. Class A Limited Voting Shares (BAM.A) inside my non-registered portfolio. I want to invest also a bit in FTS, POW, and BCE - those are stocks that I already own in my non-registered portfolio. I would like a few shares just to add up to my number of stocks. I still have plenty of room inside my TFSA portfolio, but I prefer to add stocks to my non-registered one in order to boost the value of my margin, to keep it strong.
I am a hoarder, but I am not dumb.
