Welcome to Superior Plus Corp. (SPB), 200 stocks of SPB in my online future trading brokerage

More to come about Superior Plus Corp. (SPB) will be post soon!

creditsolutions for margin users, a quick view on my debt situation and new commodity investment

I made some changes to my commodity investment portfolio today. I decided to sell 100 stocks of Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS). The value of this sell was of 5 674.01$ through my online future trading brokerage. This sell allow me to extend my portfolio in other companies. I really wanted to grow my dividend earning and I did. Following the sell of 100 stocks of Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS), I trade commodities online. Here's are my latest stock acquisitions:

200 stocks of Superior Plus Corp. (SPB);
200 stocks of New Flyer Industries Inc. (NFI.UN);
100 stocks of Financial 15 Split Corp. (FTN).

Those companies offer a high dividend yield and all are online stock trades for under 13$ per stock. I wouldn't invest any more in those companies for now, but they are fun to hold because their dividend distribution is very generous.

With those new stock acquisitions, I am now at 6 312$ in dividend earning (excluding my RRSP dividend). All of the dividend I earn are enroll into a DRIP related to my online future trading brokerage own at TD Waterhouse securities. So as you can imagine, I am very exciting with my new comers. I probably won't invest in new companies for the upcoming months because I hold more than 60 000$ in debt and reader debt busters comments make me realize that yeah, I am getting heavier in debt and I have to be careful. I had received a good debt advice. Who knows if another stock market crash is just around the corner?

Also, regarding my recent holding in Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX), Superior Plus Corp. (SPB), New Flyer Industries Inc. (NFI.UN) and Financial 15 Split Corp. (FTN), I wouldn't recommend you to invest more than 100-200 stocks per those type of companies. Why? All of those companies trade below 20$ per stock. In case of another stock market crash, it could hurt badly your margin (if, like me, you hold a margin account) and/or your portfolio. And, also, never hold too much of the same company, that's the diversification rule online stock investing that I like to stick to. In order words: diversify your assets while investing in a online future trading brokerage. And as you can see in my commodity investment portfolio latest update, I like to diversify my assets in different companies, different sector. But I do not have specific allocation rules.

My way to invest is very free. While investing in stock market, I invest in whatever interest me. That's my rule. I prefer dividend payer. But one of my recent investment was an exception: Sprott Physical Silver Trust (PHS.U).

As for now, I wanted to bust my dividend income for the fun of it, because today, I didn't have better things to do than to online stock trades. But also, I have to say, reaching 6 312$ in dividend income, in an income that I can cash in if I want well, I have to say, it's something I am very happy about!

Currently, I have 64 218$ in debt. I am currently using 35% of my margin. At this point, I won't go deeper into debt, I won't use more than what I already use on my margin account. Things will remain the way they are. For tomorrow, I plan to make a payment of 1 400$ on my 8.75% line of credit. After what, I will have left 3 581.77$ to pay on the 8.75% credit line. I really need to pay off that debt completely. I will try to concentrate on the payment of this debt.

Also today I had received 150$ in dividend distribution from Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS).

My latest trade for today

I sell 100 stocks of BNS, for an amount of 5 674.01$. I purchase 200 stocks of SPB, 200 stocks of NFI.UN and 100 stocks of FTN.

Welcome to Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX) in my online future trading brokerage!

Canfor Pulp Products Inc. from the Toronto stock exchange market is my latest financial trading. I had acquired 100 stocks of Canfor Pulp Products Inc. and I am still very happy with this new acquisition. Canfor Pulp Products Inc. Toronto stock exchange quote is CFX.

To make a long story short, I am coming from the north of New Brunswick. The north part of New Brunswick is a bit poorer than the south. The north rely mostly on natural resources to survive. And forestry is an important sector of employment for natural resource jobs. So when it come to forest, pulp, paper and other, I am very close to all that as the vast majority of my family had been employed in that specific sector. I know that the market is very rough in the market pulp. Why can't New Brunswick duplicate a company like Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX) to create jobs and do something right with our natural resources? I don't have a clue. There's only one Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX) and I am now a holder of it! Without knowing that much of Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX), I am already a very proud stockholder.

Before it's conversion in January 2011, Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX) was an income fund known under the name of Canfor Pulp Income Fund (CFX.UN). As Canfor Pulp Income Fund (CFX.UN), Canfor was among those high yield income funds. Canfor Pulp Income Fund (CFX.UN) was paying an annual dividend of 3$ per unit. Canfor Pulp Income Fund (CFX.UN) had paid it's last dividend as in income fund on January 14, 2011.

While trading under Canfor Pulp Income Fund (CFX.UN), the company had declared a special dividend, which been named as a "supplemental cash of distribution" of 30 cents per unit for the units own on date of December 31, 2010. Back in the times, Canfor Pulp Income Fund (CFX.UN) were among the stocks paying highest dividends. (I know, I had missed some very good stuff!!!).

Myself, I like everything that go quick, I don't like to spend too much times over something. I like quick fast deal and voilà. And the result of what they are: interesting. That's the word I will use to describe my very own financial score: interesting. As you might had read previously, I first taught that our Canfor, the newly Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX) was still paying a 3$ per stock, but it's not the case. I went too quickly on the blablabla reading I guess.

Because of their conversion into a corporation, many companies, just like Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX), had to decrease their dividend distributions. Bell Aliant Inc. (BA), Davis + Henderson Corporation (DH) and Yellow Media Inc. (YLO) are among those companies, all ex very high yield income funds. A dividend distribution cut is always hard to take. But a distribution cut do not necessarily mean a decrease in the value of the stock. The stock value of Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX) did not decrease following its conversion into a corporation set up. It remain relatively stable. Why? Many factors, including this one: the company stockholders had decided to stick to what they have invested in Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX) no matter what. New company stockholders had came in also, etc etc etc. But also, I am very tempt to say that Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX) is one of those very well manage companies, just like one of my very favorite: Just Energy Group Inc. (JE).

Following it's conversion, Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX) still have an interesting dividend yield of 10.26% (from what I calculated and also coming from a reader comment). The annual dividend distribution is of 1.40$. This do not include special dividend. I am also very tempt to say that Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX) could probably pay a special dividend for the financial year of 2011 when time will come.

Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX) will proceed with the payment of its dividend on a quarterly basis. The first dividend distribution of Canadian stock Canfor Pulp Income Fund (CFX.UN) as Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX) will be made just later on in 2011. The initial dividend had been established so far at 35 cents per quarter. According to Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX), the first quarterly dividend is expected to be declared on or about April 30, 2011 regarding its dividend payment.

With 1.40$ in annual dividend distribution + maybe a special dividend, at a dividend yield of 10.26%, Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX) represent a good commodity investment in a Canadian specialty sector: certified forest products.

Looking forward to buy stocks online? Than, pick the Canadian stock Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX) in your online broker day trading. Purchase stocks of Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX), you won't regret it.

Trade commodities online: my experience with EnCana Corporation (ECA)

Today was the day I invested in Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX) for the first time through my commodity trading broker. but today was also a good day for canadian dividend paying stocks, and especially for EnCana Corporation (ECA). I initially invested 5 946.88$ in EnCana Corporation (ECA) a couple of months ago. Buying stocks of EnCana Corporation (ECA) was a good decision to make, despite the difficult times for EnCana in the past couple of months.

The trouble begins for EnCana Corporation (ECA) when the company announced the investment of millions of dollars into their own company. The major investors didn't like that, so the value of EnCana had drop significantly.

Anyhow, EnCana happen to be a good investment because my stocks of EnCana Corporation (ECA) currently worth a very awesome 6 510.39$, for a great profit of 563.51$! I do not plan to sell EnCana Corporation (ECA) anytime soon, but I am proud to say that I my investment in EnCana Corporation (ECA) is growing in value. I would like to be able to say the same thing with all of my commodity investment, but it's not the case. But I am looking forward for the best in the upcoming months with online stock investing.

I just purchase 100 stocks of Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX)

At 14.70$ per stock...

Meet the Canadian stock Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX) and the mountain lion hero

Its been a quiet weekend overall. I went for a coffee yesterday evening. I had bring my laptop with me and went to my favorite cafe. But even inside, I was freezing. Sitting next to a window was not helping either. Just to say how cold it is. And even today in my apartment, I have a Honeywell machine that is most of the time on. I didn't go out today at all. I had been lucky enough not to purchase a metro pass since May 2010. Since that time, I may have purchase a ticket not more than 3 times. But now that the weather is sooooo terribly cold in Montreal, I may have to purchase a metro pass for this week. But I will see how it goes tomorrow morning. I am living downtown very next to the St-Laurent boulevard in Montreal, so I don't need to use public transportation. My workplace is at around 40 minutes of walk. At first, I taught I was not going to make it without metro pass, but I did. A monthly metro pass in Montreal is not that expensive. It's not more than 70$ if I remember correctly. But still, keeping a 70$ in my pocket is quite a huge saving.

My budget is well balance. But lately, I didn't spend too much attention on my spending. I currently reached the 500$ on my Mastercard Airline Miles. And no, I do not own a zero interest credit card. Time for me to stick back to a more frugal lifestyle, just like before. I can easily cut those expenses from 500$ to a 250$, basically by half. I know I can do it because I did it before. And I know exactly where to begin my expend cut: Second Cup. I am a Second Cup coffee addict. Everyday before going to work, I buy myself a medium Second Cup coffee. Alone, this expense cost me 45$ every month. To this, you need to add the eating out and going out...

Ok, I have the money I earn online that I can put as payment on that 500$ bill, but still, I am in need of creditsolutions. So I guess the solution or the creditsolutions for me at this time is to cut on unnecessary expenses, just like I was going before. I am back on the frugal lifestyle, despite I could continue the way I am doing without any trouble. Even for this month, I have a good extra 1 400$ I can use for online stock market investing through TD Waterhouse securities.

I am lucky, I have good readers. When I say good readers, I mean very very good readers. They are not only readers, but also investors. Yesterday, I learn about the Canadian stock Exchange Income Corporation through one of them, which I got very interested in and I probably invest in at least 100 stocks of Exchange Income Corporation very soon through my online future trading brokerage. The Toronto stock exchange quote of Exchange Income Corporation is EIF.

All this agitation is due to my trading mistake in Sprott Inc. (SII). I won't write again about it, but I will just say that my online stock investing mistake. The more you manipulate stocks via discount commodity brokers, the more you are kind to do a mistake. This include the following actions: sell stock online and purchase stocks.

The more you sell stock online and purchase stocks, the more you are at risk. To trade commodities online is not extremely difficult, but it can be tricky. In my case, what I did was that I purchased 500 stocks of Canadian stock Sprott Inc. (SII) in what I believe was in time to qualify for the special dividend of 60 cents. but unfortunately for me, I was to late in my purchase because I was not aware of the 3 business rule and in result, did not qualify for the special dividend.

So right now, I hold an extra 500 stocks of Sprott Inc. (SII) that I never really wanted to have. All I wanted was more stocks, in order to earn more from Sprott Inc. (SII) special dividend. In fact, all I wanted was to get more dividend cash from Sprott Inc. That's very all. But among the way, I burn myself. Those extra 500 stocks of Sprott Inc. appeared in my latest stock investment portfolio update. Currently, those 500 stocks alone had lost more than 300$ in value. I know, I screw up badly, but nothing is loss unless a sell is made. Remember that. So as for now, I am leaving the Canadian stock Sprott Inc. (SII) alone, I won't touch it. I had program a sell offer at 9.60$ for those 500 extra stocks of Sprott Inc. (SII). The sell order will remain active until the end of January. If it happen that Sprott Inc. (SII) stock reached or exceed the 9.60$ per stock, I will be good to make my sell. In my mistake, I had purchased 500 stocks of Sprott Inc. (SII) at 9.34$ per stock.

Conclusion: I cannot go back in time and fix that mistake, but I can hope for an increase of the Sprott Inc. title.

I roughly have around 1 400$ to invest by the end of January, despite my huge spending on my credit card.

Another reader of the Dividend Girl is living in British Columbia. While being in his sixties, he got attacked by a mountain lion. And believe it or not, that reader had killed the mountain lion using a simple pocket knife. This event happens in the years 2000s. Believe it or not, the mountain lion hero is a reader of the Dividend Girl, and also a very very good investor. My mountain lion hero was kind enough to share with me his stock investment portfolio.

Ok, so now, remember that I currently have 1 400$ available for Canadian stock trading, that this weekend had been a quiet one because of the extremely cold weather. In conclusion, I had time to review deeper the content of the stock investment portfolio of my British Columbia reader, the mountain lion hero. Many fantastic things, very good dividend payers. But among other, I decide myself on one pick that is going to blow you away: Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX).

From my point of view, Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX) seem to be a bit volatile, but I wouldn't mind investing in 100 stocks of Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX) by tomorrow in my online future trading broker. Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX) dividend yield is of 22.837%. Yes, you read it right. A dividend yield of 22.837%, which mean a 3$ in annual dividend per stock! And the stock currently trade at only 14.45$! So go for it! lol...

Canadian stock Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX) will bring in the house an annual 300$ in dividend income. Of course, just like for the other I hold, the dividend of Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX) will be registered to an automatic DRIP.

I am just very excited about Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX) 3$ dividend per stock! WOW!

Horizons Gold Yield Fund (HGY.U) declared its very first dividend distribution

I had first invested in 200 units of Horizons Gold Yield Fund (HGY.U) back in December 2010 through it's initial public offering. It's been a good thing in my case because I didn't have to pay any commission to acquire those 200 units. My regular broker commission fee with TD Waterhouse is of 9.99$, not to say 10$.

Since December 2010, nothing had been said regarding Horizons Gold Yield Fund (HGY.U) dividend distribution and I began to worry. In my case, I use money available on my margin account, at an interest rate of 4.25%. To make this investment profitable, I really need to touch the promised 6.5% dividend yield by Horizons Gold Yield Fund (HGY.U).

Horizons Gold Yield Fund (HGY.U) didn't broke it's promised. On January 20, 2011, Horizons Gold Yield Fund (HGY.U) declared its first monthly distribution of 7.20 cents per Class A and Class F units of the fund. According to AlphaPro Management Inc., the distribution will be payable on February 10, 2011 for unitholders on record of January 31, 2011.

This is a great news because as I explain, I was worried not to get anything from Horizons Gold Yield Fund (HGY.U). But its seemed like I will get something from Horizons Gold Yield Fund (HGY.U) in February.
