Herby Moreau and Anne-Marie Losique at the Hotel St-James

I had so many things to do this weekend, but the beautiful weather, I skipped them all… What I like of Montreal during summer is that there are many festivities, many tourists, many hot guys and girls. Montreal is gorgeous during summer time. I never missed a chance to go outside. Or try.

I began my promenade at the boulevard Saint-Laurent. For the Grand Prix, Saint-Laurent is partly closed to the circulation and I loved to walk in the street instead of the sidewalk. It’s a luxury reserved just a couple of times during summer. 

I continue my walk downtown. There was a crowd, a mix of tourists, policemen and student protesters. I took pictures of the mess. It’s not fun to be downtown with all those cops.

I continue my way downtown to Crestreet, took pictures of the race cars. I went back and forth about two times. There was a band playing, some guys of a Montreal radio that I forgot the name. They are not really a band but that afternoon – they were. And they were pretty good actually.

I continue my walk to the Francopholies Festival. There were a few things going on in the afternoon. I continue my walk to the Village (gay neighborhood) and following what, I went to the Old Montreal. The Old Montreal is a must see. I never miss a chance to go whenever I can. I continue my walk across the gorgeous streets and without knowing, I find myself in front of the Hotel St James where an “Happening” was happening… I saw Karine Vanasse, Anne-MarieLosique and Herby Moreau. As for the other people, I didn’t know how they were.

Karine Vanasse has her hair tight up straight in the air in a horrible ponytail. Like come on girl, let it blow! A natural beauty like Karine Vanasse shouldn’t try too hard. She has beautiful long hair, it would had look so much better if she would had forgot the horrible hair do and let the whole thing blow on her shoulders. On top of that, she was wearing ridiculous high heels. Her heels were very very high. It wasn’t even sexy, not even beautiful. She was wearing the heels of a want-to-be-a-prostitute for the Montreal Grand Prix of Formula 1. Her dress was one of a little girl. It wasn’t glamorous. It wasn’t sexy. It was NOTHING.

What happen last night is that Karine Vanasse tried too hard. She should get rid of her stylist, get confident in herself and stop wearing horrible outfit and stop doing stupid thing with her hair.

As for the Anne-Marie Losique.. ohlala, the dear was wearing a mini mini pink dress with black nerd glasses. The dress was barely covering her babe body. Her breast was pomping out. It makes me laugh. Only Anne-Marie Losique could show up in such dress. It was hilarious. Anne-Marie Losique was there to show it all. And she shows it all! LOL!!

Mr. Herby Moreau himself was there standing outside and waiting for the stars! I was actually surprised to find out that he’s not very tall. I had been listening to Herby Moreau on television for I don’t know how many years now. Herby Moreau and I, the only thing we have in common is that we LOVE STARS. LOL. I wrote HubPages article about superstars, and Herby Moreau interview them. As for the guy, he was wearing white athletic shows, black pants with a back jacket that fit him perfectly well. Herby Moreau was gorgeous last night.

I stand in front of the Hotel St James for several minutes and then I left for the Francopholies were I listen to heavy metal music and I walk my way back home, thinking of all the things I haven’t done that way just to photograph expensive race cars and see live the darling Anne-Marie Losique AND Herby Moreau. Did it worth it? Oh yeah, totally.

Stay tune... MORE pictures will be load soon :)

Another delicious stock of mine is increasing its dividend: Agrium Inc. (AGU)

There you go baby. The Dividend Girl owns you and it’s not for nothing.

One of the numerous stocks that I hold Agrium Inc. (AGU) is doubling its semi-annual dividend to $0.50. Of at first, it doesn’t seem like exciting news, but before, it was even worst. Agrium Inc. (AGU) was like 0.26 or 0.27 cents... I mean come on. In result of this increase, AGU gain in valuable value. And of course, it reflected in my portfolio.

Next week, I am getting another paycheck, so I am looking forward to increase my portfolio in term of blue chips. Adding new stuff in is always terribly hard. I am not that picky, but when I invest, it needs to be in something that catch my interest. If not, simply forget about it.

It’s been long times since I haven’t update my portfolio. I am blogging and doing my freelance stuff before-after work and it’s quite difficult. It’s even more difficult that I don’t have an Internet access at my place, but that’s wanted. I find it difficult however to work this way.

I would like to rake to the 8k in dividend income and I could make it really soon. I am just missing a $700 to make it.

I am not a hole

For a little while, I got scared that my portfolio was about to crash. But of course, nothing of that happen yet because you should know it by now, my portfolio is like a rocket or something of that kind ok. My non-registered closed the session at $124 415.40, which is good. I was scared I need to take money from my RBC credit line to cover my margin. Still need to be careful because nothing is sure. Its going up-down-up-down and I barely have time to follow with that new job. It really sucking all of my energy and I just hate that because its only temporary. During the presentations, a big emphasis was made on fact that I was there to cover for the vacations to all of the f people I was introduced to. I am not a f hole, but I am fortunate enough to invest in the market. My market value is of $ 126 528.90. Not too bad for the only-replacement-girl-for-the-summer hein?

What I want is a part-time job or get more freelance stuff to earn some more fresh cash. I want to spin it to the 130k value. I am impatience and patient at the same time.

I got an email from an insurance guy who wants me to post an article of him on my blog for free.

You should all know better now, I am not a hole.. Got to get that in your mind.

Welcome in my investment portfolio Keg Royalties Income Fund (KEG.UN)!

There have been a lot of things going on lately! I moved on June 1th from my residence room at Concordia to my old apartment. I am pretty much all set, except that I don’t have Internet access. I will try to do without it, I will see how it goes. I am pretty much on the Internet quite often, it will be difficult not to be able to access my portfolio and other from home. And talking about my portfolio, we are welcoming a new stock in the house! Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for Keg Royalties Income Fund (KEG.UN)!

Anyway, I reactivate my cell phone with Chatr Wireless. At $35, $40 after taxes, I am getting a good unlimited long distance plan within Canada and local calls, voicemail and call display. I quickly came to the conclusion that it will be difficult to add a second job, even a part-time one to what I currently have. So I decided just to stick with what I currently have, including my self-employed work just for now. I haven’t received anything this past week in term of self-employed and it kind of upset me.

While holding more than 2k in my banking account, I told myself: this is the perfect time to invest in Keg Royalties Income Fund (KEG.UN)! I wanted some KEG.UN stocks for a while now so I did my move this past Thursday! Click, click and there you go. KEG.UN delivers quite of a performance on the TSX. I am happy to add KEG.UN to my stock collection. In case you want to know, KEG.UN dividend yield is close to the 7% and its dividend is paid on a monthly basis. Hello money! 

I went to the Keg restaurant located in Ville-Marie downtown Montreal to take my pictures. The place was full.

I own my interest in KEG.UN to the goodness of Christina Kiesel. If I would be half as good looking as her, I wouldn’t be out of a permanent job for very long, that’s for sure. ;) I have a feeling she owns part of her vibe to a party mix of cocaine or other drug and alcohol. Maybe.  

No matter what, without Christina, I wouldn’t have known KEG.UN. That Christina Kiesel is from the cast of the Real Housewives of Vancouver. And it happens that I wrote an article on each on the Real Housewives of Vancouver. And it happens that Christina Kiesel ex-husband, David Aisenstat is the CEO of The Keg Steakhouse & Bar. BINGO. That’s how my story with Keg Royalties Income Fund (KEG.UN) began. I own a good stock pick to Christina Kiesel. Thank you Miss Kiesel sexy darling!

Taught the dividend investment was over? YOU WERE WRONG. 

My annual dividend income is now at $7 300. I can extremely easily push it to the 8k, even 9k. But take it easy honey. 

For the X times, the Maple Group push its acquisition over the TMX Group Inc. (X). This time, the deadline is July 2012. HILARIOUS.

I am still in for the maximum of cash option for my X stocks. As soon the deal go through, I will finally get my $50 per share. That’s what supposed to be. Following what, I will add some new investments in and boost my dividend earning. Bye bye Maple Group. That’s the plan. Simple and easy.

I may be out of the permanent job circle, but I still have enough left to invest a bit in the famous CNR. I am still under pending for that one, but I may do I move as early as Monday. Canadian National Railway Company (CNR) closed Friday under the mark of the $83 per share. CNR dividend yield is low, but the stock is of high quality. I like to focus on the dividend yield, but that’s more of a trap than anything else. I like to mix in some high quality stock, blue chips like BNS, AGU, CU, TRP, ENB, etc. with some high dividend payers like KEG.UN, JE, ENF, PPL... See what I mean? 

You cannot have enough of those blue chips in a portfolio. I want to add a few more stocks of CNR to bring in value for my portfolio and margin account. Canadian National Railway Company (CNR) is the perfect stock. Canadian National Railway Company (CNR)? It’s the do-it-all, make-it-all stock. So far, I made a profit of $338.60 on that stock, not counting the dividend income, just the stock value.

Currently, my non-registered portfolio is at $121 157.31. The book value is of $126 528.90, which mean I am off of 5 371.59. It’s a 5k, but it’s really not that bad knowing what’s going on out there. What is left on my margin is $8 643.61. I really don’t like that number and I am wondering if it would worth it for me to transfer money from my RBC credit line over to my margin. Do you now understand better “the holding a margin is a pain in the @**” part? I may take a 2k from the RBC credit line, if not even more, and transfer it over to my margin for a little while, just to secure my margin better. 

I hate TD Waterhouse so much right now! What a bunch of complete idiots to post a Special video on a Potential Impact of a Greek exit. Just a great F video to bring the retail investors to a panic level BEFORE it even happen. TD Waterhouse is such a mediocre broker. If Greek exits the Euro, the stock market will probably just crash. Each single time something is post about Greek, another bad news coming, the TSX loss points, each and single time. I don’t understand why, but investors care about the Euro. Europeans have nothing to do with who we are as Canadians. They haven’t build health to Canada, as long as I am concern. You can directly flush the whole Euro in the toilet, I am not concern, and I certainly don’t care. Deal with your own sH*t and I will do the same ok. I am just very very sorry.

While waiting for the catastrophe to happen, Jean-FrançoisTardif is seriously backed in the game! Its seem like the Quebecker has it after all. His JFT Strategies Fund (JFS.UN) is performing quite well. The TSX had loss close to the 200 points last Friday, but the JFT Strategies Fund (JFS.UN) just keep going and closed at $9.95. At least, the investment is stable. BUT, the JFS.UN doesn’t have any margin loan value at TD Waterhouse. That’s why my margin value is only at 8k.

I told you, TD Waterhouse is of a mediocre quality broker.

You can both flush the Euro and TD Waterhouse directly in the toilet.

I read a comment about my DNI Metals Inc. (DNI). My investment value in it is exceeding the 1k. I am cashing a profit of more than $400 or around. Potential is there for DNI to even exceeding its one time glory of $0.74 per share. Patience is a virtue. I have that one at least :)

I need to come with a plan to hit the 12k or so in dividend income by the end of the summer and leave Montreal behind for the rest of my life. Stay tune. I know you want more.

Just like if we were in 2008 again

At $122 837.69, I guess my non-registered portfolio is doing well, knowing the stock market conditions we are in. From what I read, the Maple Group could acquire the TMX Group (X). Of course, no news of the when yet, but I am hoping for the end of the summer... I may get my $50 per share after all! Right now, the stock market is down. If the deal can be finalize anytime soon, it will be the perfect timing to buy some blue chips.

I am moving on June 1th in my old apartment. I am going to keep it all summer long. If it happens I stay in Montreal following my contract, I may try to find something cheaper. My rent is not exactly cheap. All included, but no Internet or either phone. I am close to everything, even work, and I don’t need a metro pass. A metro pass is something like $75 per month. My deal is not so bad after all because I don’t need, at least for the next couple months, to cover for transportation cost. 

I was surprised to find out, but my moving expensive, including my temporary stay in X residence in X street of Montreal, are all being covered my by self-employed work. Now, I just need to get paid. I had done pretty well on HubPages lately. I had received something like a $54 for last month result. If I can stop feeling tired, I will be on my way to write more article on HubPages and rank it up to the why not $100 per month if not more. But even there, it required writing hundred of articles... CRAZY.

The last 2 weeks had been so rough, moving from my X quiet city in New Brunswick to move in Montreal, getting that temporary X job... But at a point, I need to move forward right and stop feeling tired as I do now. Maybe I should just stop drinking after work...... I cannot cook here so I went for supper and got a beer with my meal and it basically finished me up. Just 2 days left before the week is finally over. I cannot wait. I am going to activate my cell this Friday and it will be it.

And guess what....... I have like a $500 I can invest right now. I am very tempted to add more of CNR stocks in my now famous portfolio. Right now is the perfect time to invest. It’s always very difficult to invest when the market is down, but it’s a big must. Focusing on blue chips that you can get at a bargain price should be among your top priority. I am willing to stop drinking lol and search for a part-time job to be able to invest just like in 2008. I am willing to do it all.

I know I talked about getting in some KEG.UN stocks in, but I am much more concern about my margin value. CNR has like a 70% in margin loan value. As for KEG.UN, I don’t know how much it is, but it’s certainly not 70%. But you know that I know, when it come to margin, the only 100% value is cash. Do I have money to pay down my margin? Nope. So it pretty much look like we are going to just keep feeding that baby of portfolio of mine. That’s kind of super hot cool.

I love cash, I need money.

Beyond Pop Up of Tom Wesselmann

My non-registered portfolio closed Friday session at a superb $124 128. I have below 15k left in margin money. I have exactly left $11 752.35, which is a bit dangerous. My preference goes over a 15k. Below that is quite dangerous. When I am under the impression, I simply transfer my 5k credit line value over the margin. Following what, it makes a 16k. This only shows how difficult the market is. Holding a margin in a broker account can be a pain in the a**. You should be smarter than me and just avoid. PLEASE.

My portfolio is down a little, but still, while exceeding the 120k, I remain happy, especially in those market conditions. I had spent a week at my new temporary job. I am going through it I guess, but I wonder what will happen next, will I move back to New Brunswick or am I going to stay in Montreal, should I seek for a summer part-time job, what do I do, etc, etc. etc… With all those, I am having a hard time to sleep at night. I never hard problem to sleep before, really just occasionally and I don’t even remember the last time it happen to me. Also, I am going to move again on June 1th, that time in my old apartment… I am a moving specialist. I had moved around so many times in my life. Did it always worth it? I will say yes ok. Because it had giving me the possibility to save a lot, no matter what. Of course, moving is costly, but worth it if well managed and there’s always plenty of ways to make money. 

Today, I went at an exhibition, Beyond Pop Up of Tom Wesselmann at the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Montréal and it was really cool. 

Gentlemen, if you go see Beyond Pop Up of Tom Wesselmann, you are going to see why us women have it all and most importantly, you’ll experiment the natural power of the woman naked body at its best, I am telling you. It’s pop erotic art, in a certain way. Sexual, but not insensibly, still good for all public, I guess. It was fun. Montreal Museums were free all day long today. I only quickly went to the Musée des Beaux-Arts. I had been busy lately with my freelance, I am praying to be paid, and that’s the worst part of it. Of not knowing if a payment will  be made. Could be, could be not. What a mess of life. 

I am still looking forward to add a few stocks of KEG.UN stocks in my fabulous portfolio. It will be a nice addiction since I don’t hold anything in term of restaurant.

Yesterday I walked around to the Plaza St-Hubert.

I also went to Outremont. You’ll notice the student red square in front of some apartments. Outremont is a beautiful neighborhood. 

It’s full of Jewish people who dressed in a strange and very conventional way. I don’t know how their men can stand walking close to me while wearing a skirt. I may not be sexual enough lol. See, I may have some problem to sleep but I haven’t lost my sense of humor yet. Maybe it’s the room that is too big. I am use to small crappy place, not a HUGE bedroom. Well, soon, I will be back in my small one and a half apartment.

Can someone tell me what am I doing in Montreal? Why I am here anyway? Just for 18 weeks of work? WAKE UP U BITCH.

S.O.S.
