We have beautiful sunny day here in Montreal so I going to write a little something before hitting downtown. I am trying to lose weight before the summer hit for good. It really cannot hurt so I am going to exercise a bit more. I was thinking of a gym membership but hey, it cost more than a $500 per year.. So if I cannot get slimmer just by walking, I am going to stay the way I am.
A few years ago, just before hitting back to New Brunswick - it was just 2 years ago actually, I was working at several jobs at the same time so I didn't walk downtown like I used to because I was working most of the time. From, my experience, its possible to lose a great deal of weight just by watching what I eat and by walking. But I really need to walk everyday. I find it stupid to spend money on a gym membership knowing it cost so much. And I really need to watch my expenses. Its my mom birthday this weekend and I spend a good one hundred bucks on flowers. Not that I regret, but its another expense. I don't feel like asking my brother is part on the bouquet because he lived in Ottawa and his rent is terribly expensive. I am the big sis right, I can handle it all.
Its another reason why I did not reactivated the DRIP. I am always in need of money, there's always something. Like right now, I am in deep need of a new hair coloration. I taught of getting my natural color back, but I look at my roots, and ohhhh the natural color slowly began to show up. I had been coloring my hair for years now. I find I look better with a touch of magical red.
As for my body, in case you wonder, I am not extremely fat, I have very nice asset actually, but you know, for the health and everything, it will be better for me if I lose weight. And I never insisting on it before because I didn't really care, but I would like to be like before. Overworking had been a real huge problem. I am now not working as much today, but I am thinking of freelancing more. But for that, I definitively need to work more... BUT, as you know, I had been reading all over again Derek Foster books. I began with the Healthy Boomer and I am now at the Idiot Millionaire.
As he said, it is a lot more easier to spend less than to work more... So I started getting more organize lately. I am usually frugal, but I guess I lost myself among the way. I am more tired at some point, so if I don't cook my lunch for 5 days during the weekend, it will never get done. For the past couple weeks I had been quite good on this, I only ate out a couple of times. I know what I have to do to save money, its just a matter of discipline, at this point. When I am done with work, I really don't feel like cooking or doing anything else. I walked my way back home and once home, I removed my makeup, I get into something comfortable, I eat a quick something, usually cereal or toasts and I open my laptop, check on my blog and stocks. That's why you something only get new comments. I sometime don't have anything new to say or I am just too tired. I am sometime at bed by 9:30. On good days, I stay up until 11. It depend.
I am just now wondering why I am writing this. LOL. I guess I really just want to write something because getting ready and go play in the sun.
Here's something maybe more interesting.
My non-registered portfolio is at $123 906. I am in a positive territory: +0.03%, +$33.77!!!
WOWWWWWWWWWW
Finally.
I have some cash available for a new investment. I talked about getting into BEP.UN stocks, but I decided to get some ABC stocks of Derek Foster. At first, the stock was not appealing to me at all because its dividend was only of 1%. But now that Derek Foster answer my first question, I understand a bit better his interest in that stock. That ABC stock is probably less volatile than BEP.UN stock anyway.
Now that my non-registered portfolio is in a positive zone, I have to focus on quality stuff. I probably invest in ABC inside my non registered portfolio to give a boost to my margin value, but I haven't figure it out yet. For now, I have left $15 656.99 in my margin value. For now, I am exceeding the 15k. Its a shame not to take advantage of the TFSA... So let say that my margin value has enough juice. In case of an emergency, I have a 15k available on 2 TD credit lines to save the margin.
I may have not paid attention, but the money used on the margin is exceeding the 52k. Ugly ugly. That need to go down to 50k if I want to keep a minimum balance. I will need to exercise a lot more so instead of trying to find some new stocks to invest in, for the next 2 months, I will just pay off my margin. The dividend money will also help me to decrease the margin.
My investment in DGI went up a little. ATP doesn't seem to be in good shape and I am seriously thinking of selling it and declare a capital loss on it. I enroll this week in the law suite against ATP with Levi & Korsinsky, LLP. I strongly suggest to any ATP investors to enter in. It made a great deal of sense what the law firm is saying. Once you complete the online form, they will send you an emaiol with another form. That one explain that it is absolutely free to join. Also, it doesn't matter if you are Canadian. I asked the question because Levi & Korsinsky is based in the US and have no office in Canada. I fax the form and I was told that if anything else was needed, they will contact me.
For this law suite to move forward, Levi & Korsinsky need the maximum investors possible to enroll. They need to have the maximum shares possible. I own a bit more than 200 shares, not a big amount, but if all small investors enroll in the law suite, it could make a difference.
I never been afraid to battle for my rights and here's your chance to fight again like a sexy cougar. Enroll now if you had been holding ATP.

Possible law suite against ATP
My non-registered pop up to a fabulous $123 655. I am now at -0.18 %. I
am only missing a $217.62 before hitting the positive territory. Data Group
Inc. gains more than 20% today, to establish itself at $2.09 per share. ATP is
under the $6 per share, no surprise. And check it out:

I have file in the form. However, I did not enter the number of shares
I hold of ATP. Levi & Korsinsky is a firm located in the US, the firm has
no office in Canada. Also, to protect your privacy, I suggest you to do the
same as I did: fill out the online form completely, at the exception of the

enter a note saying that the information will be provided once the firm will

ATP is in big trouble....

My 2 questions interview with Derek Foster... because time is money
The day following Monday is always better than a Monday, at the only
condition to be a busy day. And I wasn’t really busy today at work. The day was
very very long. It’s a rush rush rush all day.... or a long and boring one.
That’s the job for which I work for during Spring-Summer 2012 without getting
any vacations. Yeah you are right, you are getting the picture. Anyway, during
the chitty day of today, Derek Foster, the Stop Working guy kindly answers my
email (yESSS). What it is about this time? Well, you’ll have to read a bit
before getting to know... ahah!
Today like almost everyday, I check out my stock portfolio. What I saw
was shocking: my non-registered portfolio was only at $113 629! Yesterday, the
same portfolio was exceeding the $122 000! What happen? Was this the result of
my massive lost in ATP, DGI and JE? But I had it all under control and no
matter what, my non-registered was at 122k+. OH MYYYYYYY!
I went through all of my holdings one by one and guess what, there’s a
trading halt on Exchange Income Corp (EIF). When a trading halt continue even
once the market is close, the value of the stock appears as $0... a trading
halt happen when a company has a big announcement to make. And to avoid some
rush sale, a halt is being apply. During a certain period of time, no stocks of
the company can be sell or purchase. I had been holding EIF in my portfolio for
a long time now. I only have good words for the stock. I really like EIF. I am
not worrying that much. After calculation, my non-registered is close to the
123k (with EIF in, of course).
Nice, but since I am on a margin account situation, better watch out to
any trading halt! While being on a trading halt, the value of the company is
0$... Which mean that the loan value of the company is also... 0$... From my
calculation, I am ok, but imagine for a moment that several assets suddenly
turn into a trading halt situation... OUTCH! That’s another problem to be
considered while trading on margin. No no, don’t consider it. I did and I am
stuck with it and I am now margin intoxicated. I LOVE MY MARGIN.
Ok, are you ready for the REAL HOT STUFF NOW?
Because time is money, and I only had 2 questions to ask Derek Foster,
I ask him my 2 questions (I only had those 2 anyway – at least for now):
1. THE DIVIDEND GIRL: Why should small investors like myself invest in
the stock you talked about in your last video knowing the dividend yield proposed
by the company is so terribly little?
DEREK FOSTER: Yes, ABC's offers a low dividend (although they just
raise their dividend by over 20%)! But if you look at their history,
although thier dividend is low, they have bought back a lot of their shares over
the last few years. Another stock I own, which is similar, is Imperial
Oil. This company only pays a 1% dividend, but they have been buying back
almost 5% of their outstanding shares for years - so this is the same effect as
if they paid out a 6% dividend and you reinvested the 5% in a DRIP (dividend
reinvestment plan), but with DRIPping you would pay taxes on the dividends,
whereas with share buybacks it's a TAX-FREE DRIP essentially, so I am content
for the company to keep buying back their shares and making me wealthier over
time without the tax burden reducing the compounding...
(I intentionally remove the stock name to ABC. To find out about the
stock name, go buy the
video series and go straight to the last video. And you’ll FINALLY get the
stock name lol).
2. THE DIVIDEND GIRL: When you realize you just did one big investment
mistake, how do you react? What do you do? Is selling the bad investment on
which money is already been lost anyway and reinvest in a quality stock is the
best way to get over it?
DEREK FOSTER: I've made my share of stupid stock buys (and anyone who
invests will at some point). If the quality of the company is not very good and
I was wrong in buying it, I generally will look for a good time to sell it and
reinvest in quality stocks. However, if it's just a short-term problem and the
fundamentals of the company are still good long-term, you're usually better to
simply hang on.
I am going to comment on those wonderful answers in the next post.

A short moment of desperation over Atlantic Power Corporation (ATP)
A series of bad news
for the world recently – but nothing concerning me directly if not just a few
things. Nothing seems to come to me in term of catastrophic events. The worst I
went through is when I got the flue a few weeks ago.
I knew the situation in Detroit was catastrophic, but I
taught things were getting better there. Anyway, the city is about to go under
bankruptcy. Obama seems to be quite upset over the Republicans. Some major cut
are about to happen and it could affect the ability of the US to fight back the
recession. I am a Republican hater. But right next to where I leave in New
Brunswick, in the Maine, I think I am not mistaking if I say that the Maine is
Republican. Just next to home, the evil Republicans are forcing Obama to accept
things he doesn’t want to hear anything about. We have to remember the
Republicans as the biggest gang of bastards of the 21th century and we have to
remember Barack Obama as a black angel who tried to do everything he could to
beat them up.
And as for me, well you know how it goes. First of all, I am
just glad another week end at work and I am celebrating another weekend! Wouldn’t
be nice for me to enjoy EVERY single day of my fucking life like a weekend day?
I read back a book of Derek Foster yesterday evening, the Healthy boomer. I do
not worry at all for my retirement years because I am already rich of a couple
of thousands and it’s enough to satisfy my taste for money. Right now, I am
trying to go back to my roots, to get back in control. I try to get back to
where I started being successful by investing in stocks. I kind of sort going
in all kind of direction among the way since my first investment move in 2008.
But knowing the first stock I ever invested in was Sprott Inc. (SII), well you
know, it was pretty much revealing of what was going to happen next in my
investment, just like in my sexual life.
But like right now, I am my worst enemy and I am my most
most best best friend. The stock market is very terrible at this time,
especially the Canadian one. My non registered portfolio is at $122 122, which
is a little loss of -1.41%. The amount left on my margin is $14 414.70 – very
close to the minimum required I fixed myself, 15k. Experiencing a loss of
-1.41% inside my complex non portfolio is just reflecting how good of an investor
I am really am (I can hear you screaming right now, my bunch of little
haters!!) lol.
Let me explain at least why I am that so extraordinary
investor and why I didn’t lost it all. I am extremely fortunate to only
accumulate a decrease of -1.41% inside my non registered portfolio. Lately,
Just Energy (JE), and more recently, Atlantic Power (ATP) have accumulated
massive lost. But no matter what, my portfolio is stabilized. I own the
stability to massive investments made in FTS, CNR, MX, KBL, PPL, CDL.A, CU, AGU
and I could certainly name a few others. This lost of only -1.41% is even more
interesting knowing that I haven’t invested lately inside my non registered
portfolio. But I did invest inside my TFSA.
I am an extraordinary and massive investor because despite
so-so investments like DGI, ATP and JE, my portfolio is able to take down the
hit and doesn’t even go behind the -2%. This is for me very incredible. While
noticing the massive lost in ATP, I taught I was done. I taught it was going to
be over. I was at work and I didn’t have time to investigate and think of my
portfolio that much. But I knew I was experiencing massive loss on ATP. Having
a 9 to 5 job and a portfolio of a couple of thousands dancing on the market is
not the always easy because you lose that real time connexion with the stock
market. It is not pleasant.
So at first, big time loss with DGI, after JE, and following
that... ATP... OH MY GOD. And it’s because that same God that my portfolio is
so well established. I must be protected. I work between 40 to 50 hours a week these
days and a little taste of freelance. I don’t have all day to spend at reading
the result of my portfolio. So see, God really exist. If I would have bought a
condo in Montreal, it will have lost like 15% of its value by now. Real estate
in not something that is in my sector. Too much money is involved. Real Estate
investment is for the real rich, not a little investor desperately trying to
get there. See what I mean?
I think that for young people, investing in a condo is the
worst investing move ever. It makes you a slave of the workplace and following
what, you are stuck with MASSIVE obligations. Banks are not giving gift.
Mortgages are a financial product design for banks to make MASSIVE money on the
middle class, dreamers who want to have their own place. It simply doesn’t
worth it. I already have all figure it out. And for those of you who are enroll
under a mortgage, POOR YOU. You are a slave to the workplace for the rest of
your working life. You cannot do both, you cannot pay a mortgage and invest at the
same time, it’s simply impossible on a 40k to 50k salary. I am really here to
bash down real estate investment.
I am confident my non registered portfolio is strong enough
to take any future market hit. I case of needs, I have like 25k+ available on my
credit line. That’s why I will continue to invest inside my TFSA probably for
the rest of the year. The risk is calculated. I have plenty of contribution
room for my TFSA. And I even have my next investment in mind and ready to be.
Even if you are on a margin like me, it’s extremely important to take advantage
of your TFSA. I like to play on the market, I invested on margin, I sell on
margin. I used my margin money to pay off some debt. There’s absolutely nothing
I haven’t done on margin. But the money had been well spent (most of the time).
The margin money never been spent over trips, jewelry,
clothes or anything else mystified as luxuries. You have to remember that I am
just very smart, that’s why I am just so plug in over Derek Foster. Your
success simply depend on the faculty you must have to be able to tell who’s
good and bad ones. It’s absolutely normal to fall on those, the sixth sense is not
a sense that is always 100% accurate. But at least, TRY.
A sense of personal perfection (I am saying a sense and not
simply perfection because perfection doesn’t seem to be in me and from this
world) is absolutely essential to be able to beat up the market difficulties
like a sexy cougar. There’s one boss on the stock market and that boss is the
individual investors. It doesn’t matter that much that my non registered is
experiencing a loss of not more than -1.41%
IT WAS A HOT ONE. A VERY HOT ONE.
My next investment: Brookfield Renewable Energy Partners LP
(BEP.UN)
There’s nothing I like more than investing in different
Canadian stocks. Remember my investment in Hanwei Energy Services (HE) that
went really bad? I invested like $500-600 in that company a few years ago and
now that investment worth not even a one hundred $. Back in the days, I
invested in Hanwei Energy Services (HE) believe its line of business really
appeal me. China, clean energy power, pipe... Hanwei Energy Services (HE)
involvement in China is what was the most impressive to me. I didn’t make any
money from the investment yet, but I continue to hold because I still like Hanwei
Energy Services (HE). I am happy to have it in my portfolio despite the few
hundreds loss. SO go Hanwei Energy Services (HE), go!
What’s the relation between Hanwei Energy Services (HE) and Brookfield
Renewable Energy Partners LP (BEP.UN)? Well, BEP.UN is what HE could have been
inside my portfolio. I really need to
focus on stuff that will perform well in my portfolio. I cannot afford to lose
too much on the stock market.
That’s why I began to read over Derek Foster work because I
kind of lose myself among the way. I just want to make sure I back in track.
Maybe BEP.UN is not the best stock ever to invest in but it is my pick. It is
not anytime soon I am going to invest in what the content of the latest Derek
Foster video is about (not to name the stock) lol. I need a bit more than a 1% yield if you see
what I mean. Derek Foster needs to review his stuff. Give me more Derek Foster.
You must give me more.
More seriously, Brookfield Renewable Energy Partners LP
(BEP.UN) is going to be the next stock I invest in side my TFSA. The yield is
reasonable, close to 5%. The dividend is paid quarterly. The 10 year chart is simply amazing. The stock
is a bit volatile, you may want to put it in your watch list, but no waiting
for me, I want it in my portfolio as soon as possible.
For once, Rob Carrick wrote an interesting article in the
Globe and Mail, you may want to check it out.

An in deep look at my non-registered portfolio
Previously on the Dividend Girl blog (which is my blog blog
by the way), we comment on the way to add gambling to a regular and boring
stock portfolio. Before getting on any gambling game, the first question you
need to ask yourself is: can you afford losing any money at all? I know the
regular stock blablabla of Derek Foster ok, something like you are not in to
lose money or something like it. A blablabla sentence of Warren Buffett.
Personally, I probably trade on the stock market for the
next 50 years and possibly even more. This means that I have the rest of my
life to recover from my taste to danger and gambling while I gamble. The trick
is to gamble moderately.
I post a couple of times about my troublemakers stock. I
name “troublemaker stocks” the stock I am losing money on. Investing in stocks
is the land of delicious temptations. It makes me laugh hard when I read
articles like the one of Rob Carrick, “Keep it simple with ETFs”. The stock
market is a word of opportunities, it is not simple and it wasn’t made to “keep
it simple”.
At first, losing a couple of thousands on a stock is
certainly heartbreaking, but it’s not something that will kill you. Investing
in stock is dangerous. Investing in stock is evil. Once you enter in the world
of stock, you enter in the world of capitalist salvation. And it doesn’t matter
if you’re in the middle class status. I like to invest, buy and sell stocks
because while doing so, there’s no direct interaction with others. On the stock
market, you have no one to deal with but yourself. You’re
alone. You don’t have to deal with dumb heads picking on you all the time for a
yes or a no. On the stock market, you are the master mind. It’s a game between
you, your money and the market. How well you’ll be doing will only depend on
how smart you are. The battle field is widely open and any battle can take
place.
Now, personally speaking, for a reason or another, I like to
expose my personal finances on the Web. I made and loss great of money while
trading on the stock market. Why I continue this game on and on? Well, I cannot
stop it. I have no control over it. If I stop, I will be sad.
The stock market has intoxicated my life since 2008 now. I
had been investing since 2005. I began with GICS and later on invest in mutual
funds. The period of 2005-2007 has been an extremely boring one. I never gave
up. I wasn’t able to get what I wanted. It took me Derek Foster and the Lazy
Investor to get started. It took me a very long time. I invested in stocks when
I was a splendid 27 beautiful bitch. I am lucky because nothing have change of
me between the me of my 27 years old and the me at 32 years old. Still wrinkles
free, I always think that my stock adventure began at 27 for a reason. The only
reason I find is that I didn’t have too money to invest before 27l. I don’t
have that much today, but I have a bit more than what I used to have. And it
really just what matter. At least, I haven’t been
stupid enough to invest in real estate. I don’t own a
place. All of my cash is place on the market. We’ll how
good or how bad it will turn in a couple of years.
If you decided to take an adventurous road while investing,
just prepare to lose money. I am able to understand about those things now
because I have experiment it. I now become more able to distinct a good stock
that will bring stability value and also a stable dividend income.

I think this illustrate how important it is to have massive
asset in good quality holding if you want to fully enjoy the stock market to
the max and enjoy a bit of gambling. Gambling might had taken too much place
inside my trading life, but I am slowly recovering. I invested in great quality
stocks recently, like Cineplex Inc. (CGX), Black Diamond Group Ltd (BDI) and
even more recently, RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust (REI.UN).
The most interesting part is that some investments I made
were for gambling purposes at first, but they turn out very well! I am thinking
of Bombardier Inc. (BBD.B) and Chorus Aviation Inc. (CHR.B).
There’re a few investments on the negative side that I don’t
worry about: Horizons Gold Yield ETF Common (HGY), New Flyer Industries Inc. (NFI),
Crescent Point Energy Corp (CPG), Veresen Inc (VSN), First Majestic Silver Corp
(FR), Heroux-Devtek Inc. (HRX), JFT Strategies Fund (JFS.UN) and Emera Inc.
(EMA).
As for the other stocks, like Sprott Inc. (SII), Date Group
(DGI), only time will tell if I was right to hold them tight. Losers may not be
losers forever.
This exercise only covers my non-registered portfolio. I
hope you enjoy.
