Creststreet Alternative Energy Fund Class A, and now a Class B
Since I purchase my parts in this fund before they had opened the Class B, I believe my parts are in the Class A lol. I just notice a couple of days ago a Class B in the Creststreet Alternative Energy Fund and I think it’s a good sign. I think its mean that maybe the Class A is close, and maybe they have opened a Class B because their Creststreet Alternative Energy Fund is a star fund.

Another busy week
This week was quite a busy one, as I get another step in the 2008 RRSP direction lol. I transfer the mutual funds I had at CIBC into RRSP. I proceed over the phone only and everything went smooth. The guy was super good with me and once, I just cut him off and I ask him if he was going to offer me to take a loan lol! (I was still shock from my experience with RBC!!lol). And than he told me that no, he was just letting me no that he could had work out something better for my RRSP, like one of their portfolios but I said no. But it was gentle from him to offer me that and it’s really the best experience I had with an advisor. And it was over the phone. The name of the guy appears on the paper and it’s seem like it might be a sexy Italian guy. He had a very nice voice.
Even with those changes ahead, even with my new RRSP mutual funds at RBC, I do not reach the 7 000$ I need to save in taxes. Anyway, I try very hard. One thing that didn’t help me at all is the fact that the RBC O'Shaughnessy Canadian Equity Fund is close. Which make it impossible to move it into RRSP. At this time, the only « transformation » left and possible is the Fidelity Frontiere Nord mutual fund I own at Desjardins. Lucky am I if, in total, it make an overall of 5 000$ for my RRSP.

Working to make it happen
This past week had been quite awful for me. Other than the RRSP at RBC part, I invest in Livingston International (LIV.UN). I purchase the stocks at 5.99$ or 6$. I purchase 100 of them. The annual dividends was supposed to be at 1.70$ or so, but now its down to 50 cents. Facing dividends cut is very sad, but its look likes its part of the game. I don’t regret the purchase any way. And it might be the reason why the stock price false down to less than 6$. Facing dividend cuts like taking away the dream of financial freedom. But still, the overall portrait is not looking that bad for now.
PGF.UN : 300 x 2.70$ = 810$
SII : 500 x 10 cents = 50$
MX : 100 x 0.62 cents = 62$
BNS : 100 x 1.96$ = 196$
Total Dividend earnings with stocks I have so far: 1 168$
Which I am quite happy with. I just can’t wait to see the money coming or seeing it « dripping » - if only it can. I enroll in an automatic DRIP. I gain one MX stock that way back in December.
And another bad luck of mine, like if I needed another one, the zipper of my winter coat is broken!! I cannot just put on my coat probably. I might need to purchase a new one. The coat is so old and looks a bit old; it just doesn’t worth it to get just the zipper change on it. I guess I will purchase a new one. Just like if I needed an other bad luck…

SOS 2008 RRSP
BUT WHY DID SHE WANT ME TO INVEST IN MONEY MARKET FUNDS?
I didn’t ask. I didn’t want to destroy her self-esteem forever.
But there again (lol!!), I run out of luck.

Why Crestsreet Alternative Energy Fund is such a pain?
TD Waterhouse really suck and those people do not give a damn about small investors. If I would had knows it would had take so much time, I would probably not invest in the Crestsreet Alternative Energy. Instead, I would have purchased an extra 100 stocks of PGF.UN, which would had made a total of 400 stocks at an annual dividend of 2.04$...
Last week that just pass, I do not what happen to me, I just borrow almost 5 000$ on my credit lign and I invest in that miserable mutual fund and all the rest in PGF.UN. I really wanted to make my move. I was fascinated by Crestsreet Alternative Energy and I was totally enthusiast by the 2.04$ annual dividend of Pengrowth Energy.
And just like a fellow reader wrote to me previously, there’s never been a better time to invest, and I really believe it’s true. My only regret is not having enough money to invest. I do not worry too much of the money I took form my credit line.
