Looking for upcoming grow, massive $$$

It’s seem like I am working this weekend. The value of my stock portfolio is up to 33$. And there’s definitely place for more growing. If the TSX keep gaining points, my portfolio will definitely gain in value. And the money I once lost with Timminco and Sprott will only be a souvenir. Not that I am expecting Sprott and Timminco to gain in value. But other stocks and units of my portfolio will.

Funny fact about Timminco (TIM): At the request of Market Surveillance, on behalf of the Toronto Stock Exchange, it’s been announced that Timminco has not been involved in any transactions that could help Timminco to gain value. Earlier his week, the price of Timminco gain 0.14 cents and had reached 1.47$ per stock. But not to forget, Timminco had received money from Quebec province – for once, Quebec province is doing something correctly!

I like Timminco and I still hold the company in my portfolio. Timminco had been hurt by the recession, just like Livingston International. As soon things get better, price will go up. That’s why I am not willing to sale. On date of today (1:36PM), Timminco (TIM) is at 1.47$.

Methanex (MX) currently worth 18.72$ per stock. When the TSX was at 15 000 points, Methanex Corporation was at 30$. The value of my initial investment made in Methanex worth 1 626.80$ back than. Currently, this investment worth 1 909.44$. I wasn’t expecting MX to go up. But when it did, I was very happy. Like anything can happen!

If, by any chance, MX goes up to the old 30$.... It will double the value of my investment.

Need other extraordinary examples?

I purchase 100 units of Bank of Nova Scotia at 44.82$ thinking the price was right. It was actually before the price fail to 27$... BNS can easily reach 50$ per stock… If it does, it will make a profit of 533.54$.

And so on. Similar grow could happen to PIF.UN, JE.UN and FTS. And regarding HE, well, I don’t know what to think anymore as the price is low!

Other than that, my Google AdSense income is up to 30.48$. HubPages is really fun to use, but writing articles require a lot of work. One of my latest articles talks about Stevens Demers, author of a financial crime of $10 million.

This is it, I make it!

I finally make it. Its official, on August 5, 2009, I reach my goal, which was to get 50 000$ value in assets. I currently have 50 073.91$ worth in assets.

But the adventure of my first 50 000$ is not over yet… because I have debts.

On date of April 2009, I had 16 627.99$ value in debts.

50 073.91$ - 16 627.99$ = 33 445.92$

In reality, I only worth 33 445.92$. I am planning to get a day time soon, I had been talking about this job searching thing like forever now, but I didn’t really search for a day-time job. I would very much like to pay off my debts in 2010. It would be nice to get debt free before I get 30 next year. But I know myself too well, I way prefer to invest than paying debts. But will see how things turn out.

Today might be the day

Even if the TSX losses just a couple of points in this morning summer morning, my portfolio gain 69.07$. And this is it, I think today is the day where I am going to reach my first 50 000$ because I am expecting a pay today at midnight! It should be around 250$ I believe. And if I am lucky enough, I will receive today my Just Energy Income Fund dividend. And I will hit the magic 50 000$ in assets TODAY.

It have to be today. The exhausting part comes from the fact that I will have to calculate all over again my assets, just like I did yesterday. And because of that, I didn’t find any energy to work on my HubPages articles. I was very exhausting. But don’t forget that when I come back from work, it’s already pass midnight. Crazy time, but I like my night shift. Yesterday was very a hot day; I cannot just support the heat. Before I went to wok, I went pay my bills and when I hit to work, I was sweating. Horrible summer heat. The New Brunswick girl that I am just cannot stand the heat.

On August 7th, there’s an upcoming movie call Julie & Julia coming in theatre with Meryl Streep. It’s going to be a good movie! I saw the preview and I find it very sweet. I hope it will be release this Saturday in Montreal. I also visit Julie blog. It’s really fantastic because in the movie, we see her writing in her blog and to see that it’s like wow! Really fantastic. And guess what, there are absolutely no Google AdSense ads in her blog. NONE lol….

I am now missing less than 200$

Thanks to the TSX big jump to over 11 000 points, I am currently almost reaching my first 50 000$. It’s a very long process to calculate the value of my investments as I have so many of them in different accounts. But each time the TSX makes a major jump, I don’t mind taking a few minutes of my time to calculate the value of my investment. This time, the effort really worth it. I am only missing 153.03$ to reach my first 50 000$. I am receiving a pay of around 250$ this week, so I might be able to reach my first 50 000$ this week! The value of my asset is currently of 49 846.97$. Once my first 50 000$ will be reach, everything will be a lot easier. I cannot wait to reach the 75 000$ and after that, my first 100 000$.... And of course, I will continue until I reach my first million for sure lol.

I received BNS dividend today, I now own 103 stocks of Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS). I just would like to own more of this jewel. Really fantastic stock that is the Bank of Nova Scotia.

I had been working on this investment project for so long now. At some points, I told myself I shouldn’t invest the way I did. I mean, I invest massively in stocks, mutual funds and other and, at some point, I ask myself if it was wrong, if I shouldn’t simply keep the money in my banking account… But the doubt never remain for too long as I really like to invest, check out the TSX, read about financial news, waiting for my dividend payments, etc… Those are really part of my life now and I couldn’t live without those little things, as silly as it sound.

Because I am hot like that

Check it out: the TSX is very close to 11 000 points right now! This is good news for investors! My portfolio is up of 432.06$! I cannot wait to see the result for my mutual funds. We are close to August 27 (which is my birthday). And I just hope I will be able to hit the 50 000$ at that time! It’s going to be awesome!

As you know, I love to calculate… So let’s calculate: 432.06$ + the current 48 647.28$ =
49 079.34$!

And even more exciting, I didn’t receive the dividend from Bank of Nova Scotia of 49.98$ and Just Energy Income Fund dividend of 20.87$....

49 079.34 + 49.98$ + 20.87$ + 1.78$ extra I made lately with my online revenue…..
= 49 151.97$

I am now only missing 848.03$ to reach my first 50 000$. I might be able to make it just in time for my birthday.

I would very much like to sell Dumont Nickel (DNI) at 4 cents, but nothing happen yet. My order still in and is going to valid until August 28.

As for my online income, I am having the time of my live on HubPages. I saw my Google AdSense income up to 1 cent this morning. I prefer a 1 cent income than nothing at all. When I come from my evening job at midnight, first thing I do, I connect to HubPages and to my online money maker accounts to see if any money had been made. It’s truly possible to make money online. It’s take enormous amount of my time as I am spending all of my free-time writing articles. But we will see the results at the end and we’ll see if the time spends writing articles on HubPages worth it or not in a couple of months.

I have to think of my RRSP. I was thinking about opening another broker account because TD Waterhouse ask investor 20$ or so per year to open an RRSP acount, even if I register with eService. This is soooo ugly, asking fees for a RRSP account, really TD Waterhouse has no class.

48 647.28$!

That’s right, I am now at 48 647.28$. In date of July 31, 2009, I am only missing 1 352.72$ to reach my first 50 000$. This is very great. I am very close to my goal now. If only I can work during all the weekends of the month of August, chance are that I will be able to meet my goal by the end of August or September – but only if the TSX remain relatively the same or – even better – gain more points. Everything is possible, but I would really like to say, even just for one day, I now have 50 000$ in assets. WOW!

Working on HubPages like crazy

I surprise myself this morning: I wake up at 9 :30am… I have laundry to do and stuff I wanted to be done before I go to work. I am working this weekend on both days – Saturday and Sunday – which is great because I really need the money. Everything is going fine at my evening job. Cash come in pretty easily. My portfolio (stocks and unit funds alone) currently worth 22 926.13$. TSX is up to an awesome 10 693 points this morning as I wake up.

I wasn’t able to begin my job search for a day-time job as I always went to bed so late, the next morning; I usually wake up around 1:30pm. The problem is that I really had a great time on HubPages. I wrote several articles on different topic. My latest articles were not as long as I wanted, but I put it publish as soon as I reach what I consider my minimum amount of world: around 400 worlds. The best is always to have a long article of about 1 000 world pack with a bunch of key worlds. But one publish on HubPages, an article can be modify. I can add content to my articles at any time. I now had published 21 articles on HubPages.

Since I started on HubPages, I Google AdSense income had sensibly increased. Yesterday, it had increased of 10 cents. With Google AdSense, the payout is of 100$. I am only missing 71.31$ to reach it. I cannot wait to receive my first Google check! It’s going to be so great! I belive I can make money from AdSense with HubPages, I just need to continue to write articles on a regular basis. It’s not as easy as it’s sound. I spend around 4 to 5 hours on each articles…

The difficulties come from the part that I am writing in English. It’s really a challenge. But it’s also difficult to make money from HubPages for English speaker too. It takes hundred of articles before an individual like myself can make good profit of HubPages. I had been active on HubPages for 3 weeks now and what I notice: the traffic. I have more traffic on my HubPages articles than on this blog alone!

Because everyday is magic

I wake up late again, but I was really in need of a morning sleep. Too much are in my head and I work a lot this weekend. I spend most of my free time on HubPages and, believe it or not, I spend hours trying to write those articles! I am now at 16 articles on HubPages. I have plenty of ideas on stuff to write about. I am only missing time and some good and solid English skills…

As always when I wake up, I take a look at my portfolio and… The TSX is up to more than 10 700 points… Really extraordinary. But if it ever felt again, it’s going to be a major deception for everyone out there. My sell order for Dumont Nickel (DNI) at 0.04 cents hasn’t been executed. In the meantime, Dumont Nickel (DNI) remains in my portfolio at 0.03 cents per stock – quite nice, I purchased the 23 000 stocks at 3 cents… No money lost (or just the too high commission fee of 29$ – TD Waterhouse), no money made…

But… My portfolio is getting beautiful everyday… My stocks and units portfolio is now at 23 198.41$, which is a jump of 314.41$ compare to the 22 884$ of July 25, 2009. And if we calculate 314.41$ + 48 591.98$ = 48 906.39$...

Which mean: I am currently only missing 1 093.61$ to reach my first 50 000$.

Is this real?

So far, the Derek Foster strategy is working fine for me. I hope to recover from my loses very soon. My loses are only my fault. Timminco (TIM), Sprott Inc. (SII) or the Sprott Canadian Equity Fund were my own pick and I failled with those investments.

But I am mostly proud of Fortis (FTS), Just Energy Income Fund (JE.UN), Methanex (MX), Yellow Pages Income Fund (YLO.UN). Those were nice picks. But remember I am not a specialist... Funny thing is the stock market.

Nice weekend but too much rain

This weekend had been quite fun even if on Saturday, I present myself to work and I was not on the schedule, only for next Satuday. This Sunday was very long at work. I wonder if we will have wok for the whole month of August. Since I was not working on Saturday, I had been able to clean my missy one and half apartment. I also went shopping. I only have my laundry left.

Me writing stuff on HubPages

I start working on different articles on HubPages. I now have 16 articles on HubPages. My latest is about Lauren Luke, a YouTube icon that recently lauched her own makeup product line. With the help of HubPages, my online income slowly begins to increase. I will probbaly need to write hundred and hundred of articles before being able to make money fromHubPages. At this point, I am not really in for the money, for once in my life lol, but more for the fun of it. I really enjoy HubPages. I like to see the ranking and the amount of visitors I received for each of my articles. I begin by writing around 1000 words article. The latest are shorter. I might ad some content to them later on. For now, HubPages is just about fun.

I need to sign up for my health insurance

Today, after eating a Tim Horton donut, I discover I might have problem with my teeth. I didn’t visit a dentist for quite a time and now I am paying the price. I just hate going to dentist. I am afraid of their tools, but most of all, I am afraid of AIDS and other diseases. Very bizarre of me to think this way, but I cannot help it. My teeth are not hurting otherwise, only when I am eating something with a lot of sugar in it, which doesn’t arrive really often. But I need to take care of this little problem before my teeth really begin to hurt for real.

I didn’t sign up for the health insurance group we have available at my evening job and I had been working there for almost 2 years now. It had been recommended to me to sign up: it may help me to save on taxes. And it will also help me to save on my dentist visit. I really need to register as soon as possible.

Job searching for real

I am really packed for tomorrow with all the things I have to do. I plan to begin job searching after that. I have the chance to have a fix schedule at my evening job, so I told myself I should seek for a day-time job. I could make a lot of money just like before. This time, the job searching deal is for real.
