DNI Metals Inc. (DNI): buy, sell or hold?

My non-registered portfolio is at 117 034.98$. I just received Exchange Income Corp (EIF) dividend, a nice 42.39$. Currently, I am at more than 700$ in my dividend income for January 2012. There’s good stuff going on in my non-registered portfolio, but there’s even better stuff going on for my TFSA!

My adventure with DNI Metals Inc. (DNI) began on June 17, 2009. On that day, I invested 717$ in DNI. At the time, DNI was known under the name of Dumont Nickel (DNI). Back on the day of June 17, 2009, my goal was to make a quick buy-and-sell move in order to collect a few bucks for the summer. Before June 17, 2009, DNI had rebound and I taught I could easily perform day trading on DNI Metals Inc. (DNI).

But I was wrong. Following my purchase, DNI did not rebound like expected. I decided to keep DNI in my portfolio anyway, just to hold. After all, I was playing with a small amount of money. I wasn’t upset or had hard feeling, I just find, in some ways, that the situation was really funny. Don’t ever think that there’s easy way to earn money on this Earth because none of that exist.

The last quarter of the year of 2011 has been great for DNI. But recently, DNI has really delivered! The period of 2009-2011 has almost been completely dead for DNI Metals Inc. (DNI). But that’s because they DNI was working on a big project. I am now getting a benefit from those 2 dead years. Deciding to hold DNI no matter what was a personal choice, but of course, it was a good one.

Back on July 31, 2007, DNI was trading at 1$. From the period of July 31, 2007 to today, DNI never reached back the old 1$ mark. However, the future could be very bright for DNI and it definitively worth the hold. Emerging countries like China will bring in a new demand for metals and with its positive development, DNI Metals Inc. (DNI) could be on the road to become more than just a penny stock. The move from the current penny stock situation into a dollar stock is just a matter of time. Of course, nothing is sure, but the hold worth the try. There’s a lot of gambling involve but when people tell be to sell DNI – or even just partly – I feel the advice is being giving very stupidly. Fact is, there’s much more than only gambling involve. There’s a bunch of my feeling and common sense involve too and you know, well, with that, with me involve, you cannot go wrong.

DNI Metals Inc. (DNI)? HOLD and cash in the profit LATER.

The troublemaker stock EnCana Corporation (ECA) is getting better... at least for now

Today, one of my troublemaker stock, EnCana Corporation (ECA), gains close to 10% today to close the day at 20.75$. Still far from the original 29$-30$ I place my investment on, but still, a capital gain is much appreciate.

With all that, my non-registered portfolio closed today session at 117 154.45$. Only 1 086.414 is missing before I recover from my internal portfolio capital loss. This is very good.

DNI Metals Inc. (DNI) closed today session at a fantastic 55 cents, which is boosting my TFSA value. Look like somebody around here is going to make a lot of cash! And that person, well, you know, it’s me!! It’s very great because I had been holding DNI for a really long time now and I finally getting results. Those are quite exciting time. My dividend income is doing well for the month of January.

Canadian National Railway (CNR) has increased its dividend by 15%! CNR dividend is now of 1.50$ per stock. Great news coming from CNR.

At this time, I would very much like to see my silver units in PHS.U, among other, to gain in value. My experience with silver had been rough. In November 2011, everything was fine for silver but things began to change in the Spring of the year 2011 and currently, silver is not doing extraordinary well. I wanted to register a nice capital gain on silver but it just didn’t happen the way I expected... However, I was bright enough not to invest too much in silver, so the fact that silver is down is not affecting me that much. I hold silver like anything else inside my investment portfolio. You know when a girl is for good. Don’t expect the silver sh*t prouttttttt of Eric Sprott to slow me down.

Tonight is pay night. I have a couple of expenses to cover of course in prevision of February. Next big thing ahead for the Dividend Girl is the RRSP contribution. From my calculation, I had made around 45k in 2011. I want to review that income to see if I have to make a RRSP contribution for 2011.

I am quite busy at this time with work, my portfolio and my new art class, if you see what I mean. Talk again later.

See me live or almost

Watch out, DNI Metals Inc. (DNI) is in fire

My non-registered portfolio closed today session at a very good 117 313.28!

Also today, DNI Metals Inc. (DNI) had gained 6.38% and closed today session at 50 cents. This is actually really good because I now have more than double my initial investment value in DNI Metals Inc. (DNI). Yeah! Is 2012 going to be the year where DNI is going to switch from a penny stock to a dollar stock? Maybe.

Very good result for my portfolio today overall. I cannot write more, got to go. My art class is tonight.

I love trouble

This morning, the temperature is of -28 Celsius Degrees in X town of New-Brunswick! Very cold! See for yourself:

 

In this cold Sunday morning, what can I do better than checking over my investment portfolio? Seem like TD Waterhouse system is down this morning. I have to say, it’s been a long time since I wake up at 8am on a Sunday morning, so I don’t know if this is normal or not. But I know for sure that TD Waterhouse usually performs maintenance in their system around midnight Eastern Time every Saturday night.

Anyway, I don’t need to access my portfolio in order to discuss the topic of this morning.

So far, everything is great financially speaking. Otherwise it’s another story, but I won’t talk about the other stuff for now, at the exception that my father is very sick. It’s been a week now and he has a hard flue to get over. It’s the reason why I am not sleeping in this morning. It’s the only reason why lol.

It would have helped me to have access to my portfolio because I wanted to look at my troublemaker stocks. The profile of a troublemaker stock? I name troublemaker stocks the stocks that are not stable in value. Usually speaking, those pay a high dividend yield (it’s the reason why I got enroll in them at the first place).

A high dividend yield does not equal a high quality stock.

That’s something I learned among the way. A stock should never provide more than around 8% in dividend yield. After the 8% mark, it’s an exaggerate dividend yield payment that could potentially caused damage to the company in bad economic time like we are in right now.

Beginning of 2011, the only thing I wanted was to increase my dividend earning. And in order to do so, I simply invested in companies who were paying a high dividend yield. It wasn’t exactly a good decision because I had experimented capital loss in term of holding.

In my portfolio, I want it all. I want a good dividend payment, I want to experiment grow inside my portfolio and I also want a portfolio that won’t decreased in term of value. Having it all represent a lot of work. And it also mean not being scared of restructuring your portfolio when you are been giving the opportunity to do so by the stock market. We’re going to discuss of all those things. Interesting? Oh yeah for sure.

In my non-registered portfolio, here are my troublemaker stocks:

EnCana Corporation (ECA)

Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX)

New Flyer Industries Inc. (NFI)

Rogers Sugar Inc. (RSI)

Colabor Group Inc. (GCL)

Data Group Inc. (DGI)

Kinross Gold Corp (K)

EnCana Corporation (ECA)

In 2010, I initially invested 5 946.88$ in EnCana Corporation (ECA) in my non-registered portfolio. I also hold EnCana Corporation (ECA) in my RRSP broker account. Currently, the closed to 6k invested worth half of it. I invested in EnCana Corporation (ECA) when its stock value was somewhere around 30$. Back in the time, I taught that ECA was going to hit it old 60$+ value. You can imagine how excited I was following my investment in ECA. Since that time, ECA increased a little bit in value but in the recent months, EnCana Corporation (ECA) had decreased in value to reach as low as 17 buck per stock.

There’s a demand for natural gas, it’s just that it’s being sell at very low price. EnCana Corporation (ECA) has good gas reserved and had made many improvements to their business. ECA has also been for a little while a Derek Foster stock. So all those combines together, I think it would be a mistake to sell ECA at this time because ECA can easily trade back again at 20$ per stock, if not higher.

While investing in stock, I always invest for the long term. Hopefully, ECA will recover and hit back the 30$+ once the economy get better – one day.

Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX)

I am naming here Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX) as a troublemaking stock but it’s not really. The stock market is a very hard place to be. I am naming here CFX as troublemaker stock because in the past week, CFX title had been volatile. However, Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX) quickly rebound. But at the time it crash, I really taught oh nooooooo not another troublemaker. LOL. That’s really what I taught. But I always like CFX and continue to happily hold it in my portfolio. I invested in Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX) in January of the year 2011. Since that time, CFX grow in value. Lately, CFX decreased in value. I actually hold it at a lower price that I bought it.

CFX is an interesting BC company that manage business in the wood, forest industry stuff like that. It’s reliable. The dividend payment is good. I don’t have any problem at holding CFX and I would recommend to anyone to just stick-and-hold. After all, you’ll have some problems to get a better quality stock in that sector.

Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX)? A bit of troublemaking but I still like it.

Rogers Sugar Inc. (RSI) and Colabor Group Inc. (GCL)

Recently, I took care of Rogers Sugar Inc. (RSI) and Colabor Group Inc. (GCL). I had close to 2k invested in RSI and GCL. I considered having too much money invested in those 2 trouble companies. Luckily RSI and GCL had gained in value recently. That allows me to partly sell RSI and GCL. I still hold RSI and GCL in my portfolio. RSI and GCL may be volatile and be troublemakers, but I still have enough consideration for them to still hold them in my portfolio. I reinvested the money collected this way in Canadian Utilities Limited (CU) and Veresen Inc. (VSN).

Data Group Inc. (DGI)

The only reason why Data Group Inc. (DGI) is from my troublemaker stock is that I initially invested in DGI stocks when they were at 6$+ each.

Currently, DGI is at 4.89$. I have hope that DGI will gain in value. The dividend yield is of more than 13%.

The company declared a couple of months ago that it will be able to continue to pay this kind of dividend. Since I have a DRIP, the dividends earned from DGI are being automatically transformed into stock. This will certainly played in my favour on the long run. And one DGI rebound, I would to sell a bit of what I hold in them.

I don’t like the capital loss that I am currently experiencing with DGI, but that’s part of the game. Don’t expect all of your stocks to be that extra good investment. Like never.

Kinross Gold Corp (K)

I used to have some stocks of Yellow Media Inc. (YLO) in my portfolio. I was fortunate enough to sell my stocks at what I remember being a bit more than 4$ per stock. That was just before YLO become trading for a few pennies. Selling YLO was the best decision I ever made. Following my sell of YLO, I reinvested the thousands of dollars collected in Kinross Gold Corp (K).

Selling my stocks of Yellow Media Inc. (YLO) was the best decision ever, but reinvested all of the money in Kinross Gold Corp (K) wasn’t.

At the time, gold was cool and I didn’t have invested that much in gold. At the time, K was considered a Strong buy by some analysts (they probably don’t worth sh*it) lol. When it come to finance, never trust no one, especially not anyone from BMO Bank of Montreal (BMO).

My invested in Kinross Gold Corp (K) decreased in value because they are having problem with a gold mine they have in Mexico or somewhere. Very frustrating. But that’s part of the game when you become an adventurous investor.

Derek Foster Canadian stock picks were amazing. PPL, CDL.A, ENF, etc. I made thousands of dollars from Derek Foster picks and I probably own him more than just kind words on my blog but that’s all what he’s going to get from me anyway. Lol. All this to say that everything was much better for me when Derek Foster was an investor oriented over his own stock Canadian market. But now, from what I understand, he exclusively holds US stocks and I find it so frustrating. Why in the world an invested like Derek Foster would say F U to the Canadian stock market and exclusively invest in US stocks? WHY? I would like to know why Derek Foster says F U to the Canadian stock market.

LOL. ;)

So here I am, trying to pick stocks for myself and it’s working....... kind of well overall.

Personally speaking, my goal is to boost the Canadian stock market from my little savings and you know, just be there, make a fortune from my stocks in a crazy style.

The only reason why I did not experimented capital loss in the overall value of my portfolio is 2011 is because we, Canadians, have the best stock market of the world. It’s the only reason why.

Overall, my experience with stocks had been very positive. My non-registered portfolio is at 116k+, my dividend income had been of 7k in 2011 and it will probably be the same if not a bit more for 2012. Everything is going fine, but it required a lot of work just to follow all of those stocks. It was my decision to have an X-LARGE portfolio and I don’t regret it. Not at all, even while holding troublemaker stocks.

A piece of me

Go see it here.

For those who really love me, and for those who really don't, it's your chance to get a piece of me. Lucky you!

Spectacular me, spectacular Westernone Equity Income Fund (WEQ.UN)

Today, Westernone Equity Income Fund (WEQ.UN) decided to be hot and closed today January 18 of the year 2012 session OVER THE HEDGE! WEQ.UN finished the day at 7$ per stock. So far, I am experiencing a capital gain of 598.01$ on Westernone Equity Income Fund (WEQ.UN) and I own it all to a special reader.

Currently, my non-registered portfolio is at 116 405.03$, even while having a few troublemaker stocks in my portfolio. Those being NFI, DGI, SII and now, K. Kinross Gold Corp (K) is currently trading at less than 11$ per stock, very unfortunate. On the other hand, I have some stuff like my latest investment, VSN that are performing well so far. TRP, ENB, ENF, JE, MX, KBL, PPL etc. etc. etc. 

My margin value is closed to 20k by the way.

:)

I am currently thinking about taking a small 1k from my margin and apply it as payment on my credit line at 7.52%.

Nothing much today, except that WEQ.UN decided to be, just like me, totally spectacular. lol.

Welcome in the house Veresen Inc. (VSN)!

I had been looking at this little one for quite a while! And now, things had been done, following my sell of some Rogers Sugar Inc. (RSI) stocks.

I had invested in some stocks of Veresen Inc. (VSN) at 15.11$ each today. Welcome in my investment portfolio Veresen Inc. (VSN)! Great to have you aboard!

Why did I pick Veresen Inc. (VSN)?

Because, first of all, of its very AWESOME chart. The chart goes up-up-up all the way from its early beginning until today! VSN went down following the stock crash of 2008, like many other stocks that I hold, but it quickly gains back in value. And since that time, well, just an awesome chart.

Also, Veresen Inc. (VSN) dividend yield is extra sharp: 6.809%. This is a reasonable dividend distribution yield and on top of that, it’s being paid monthly. Also today in my portfolio, we welcome some very great dividend income coming from Colabor Group Inc. (GCL) (58.13$) and Premium Brands Holdings Corporation (PBH) (126.13$).

Also today, the spectacular DNI Metals Inc. (DNI) has decided to ROCK the Venture once again to climb the 42 cents per share, this bringing my investment in DNI to close to 1 200$. If I would be selling my DNI stocks now, I would be making a profit of 740$+. But since I am this very good investor (yeah yeah yeah!!), I won’t be selling my DNI stocks any time soon. Hold on DNI and stay tune because 2012 is going to be a rocking year for u!!!

Eric Sprott silver babe is on the high too! I made good gain in my TFSA today.

Reviewing my position within the troublemaker stock, I have name: Rogers Sugars Inc. (RSI)

Today, I did something I wanted to do for a real long time: I partly sell my holding in Rogers Sugars Inc. (RSI). I made my investment in Rogers Sugars Inc. (RSI) back on February 1, 2011. Since that time, I never had been able to make real good capital gain on RSI. Yesterday was a good day for RSI and it was the same today. While giving a quick look at my stocks today, I notice that RSI was still on a high for a second day on a row.

I am not a passive investor. When a stock fails at giving me what I want, I take care of business.

I had been lucky enough to have the opportunity to sell some GCL stocks at a good price. Just like RSI, GCL is another of what I have named around here as being troublemaker stocks. A troublemaker stock profile is the following: a too high dividend yield, unstable in the value in good like in bad market condition, no capital value gained been realized on the investment even after more than 6 months of being hold.

Once you hold them in your investment portfolio it’s terribly difficult to get rid of a troublemaker stock. Why?

Let’s take my example with Rogers Sugars Inc. (RSI). Back in February 1, 2011, I had invested in 300 stocks of Rogers Sugars Inc. (RSI). Since that time, because I am registered to an automatic DRIP for everything that I hold, the dividend distribution I received from RSI has mostly been reinvested to generate extra stocks of RSI. With those reinvestments, my book value was, until today, 5.57$ per stock.

It’s difficult to get rid of a troublemaker stocks because their value is unstable. Chances that you can eventually sell a troublemaker stocks at profit is very low. Most of time, the selling generate a capital loss. In this case, I have sold today more than 200 stocks of Rogers Sugars Inc. (RSI) at 5.56$. I am loosing here 20$. I still have some stocks left of RSI in my portfolio, but now, I don’t even have 100 stock of RSI.

Today, after broker commission fee, my sell of Rogers Sugars Inc. (RSI) generate 1 229.89$. It felt great to reduce my holding in RSI!

So far for January 2012, I had been able to reduce my position in 2 troublemaker stocks: Rogers Sugars Inc. (RSI) and Colabor Group Inc. (GCL). This is very great because I had been waiting a long time to do this.

Another troublemaker stock of mine is Data Group Inc. (DGI). I had bought some stocks of DGI at more than 6$+ per stock. Since that time, DGI value went below 4$ and it never went back to the 6$+. I don’t have problem with holding DGI at this time. When I first invested in DGI, I did so because I really like the company. No matter what, I am currently experiencing a capital loss of 1 587$ on this investment.

DGI recently transform into a corporation and since that time, DGI gained in value. It’s a course a bit scary to experiment this capital loss on Data Group Inc. (DGI), but you have to understand that there’s really nothing that the Dividend Girl cannot handle.

Fact is, an investor need to have the courage to make some change to its portfolio when its truly needed.

Next step will be to find a very great company to invest my freshly 1 229.89$ that been suddenly liberate from my sell of some RSI stocks.

When I decided to sell my troublemaker stock, I usually don’t sell them completely. I usually keep a small amount of shares in my portfolio, just as a souvenir that at some point, I had been sexy and adventurous. 2012 will mark my first 5 years of stock investment. So far, its look like this fifth year is going to be very amazing.

I am never getting enough of that TSX sublime stock market. Like never.

My Canadian Utilities Ltd. (CU) is increasing its quarterly dividend by 10 per cent

Not too long ago, I add Canadian Utilities Ltd. (CU) in my very s-p-e-c-i-a-l and h-o-t portfolio and now, guess what, in result of me being in CU, CU couldn’t do it better... Canadian Utilities Ltd. (CU) has increased its quarterly dividend by 10 cent.

This increase will be apply to the dividend distribution of March 1, for stocks hold of CU for at least 3 BUSINESS TRADING DAYS BEFORE February 7. It will make it so much less confusing if everything was explained so explicitly.

My fabulous Canadian Utilities Ltd. (CU) will provide a 40.25 cents dividend per share.

Kind of cool isn’t? If you want to be part of the coolness remember: 3 business days before February 7. And now, what are you waiting for? Go get some Canadian Utilities Ltd. (CU) stocks now. Like right now.
