My portfolio
closed yesterday session at a very good $123 840. Oh, not exactly… $123 840.98.
LOL. It’s all in the power of the cents. And right now, the cents are quite
powerful. So far for June, my dividend income had been of $669.99. I have no
regret over breaking my DRIP on my non-registered portfolio. I am quite busy,
it’s harder than ever to follow my stocks. However, the portfolio is doing
quite well and I am very pleased.
As you know,
I spent the weekend of the 1th of July in Ottawa. I haven’t seen my brother in
almost a year. It was a fun weekend and the weather was perfect. I went to the
Van Gogh exhibition, the Casino of Lac-Lemay, the Maya exhibition on Quebec
side. I shopped at the Rideau Centre, went to the By Market, got my Obama
cookie (once every year, that’s a good treat lol), I ate at fabulous
restaurants and I probably gain weight. If you go to Ottawa, go to Radisson or
Rodisson at the end of Spark, it’s really good. I also went to a Vietnamese
restaurant in Somerset (?), all you can eat Japanese food on Rideau I think and
I walked downtown, went to the Ottawa Jazz Festival and, of course, I was at
the July 1th celebrations. It was quite impressive to see Jully Black live.
Remember the HubPage article I wrote about her while back and remember that she
wrote me on Twitter? Well, I finally got the chance to see a live performance
of her. She was fabulous. Rock Voisine, Acadian icon was there live too and
many other. All this to say that yeah, I had a fun time in Ottawa. I may visit
again in August.
As you can
see, I am doing well like a charm, the dividend income is quite good and my 4 months
contract will end in September, bye bye la visite, bye bye Quebec. I am about
to cash big on the Maple Group deal. Everything seems to be in order for the
Maple Group to acquire the TMX Group Inc. (X). I had picked the maximum cash
option, $50 per share. Following what, I will restructure my portfolio.
Remember, I plan to hit the 6-6-6, 8k in dividend income. That’s about to
happen soon. I just need to take some time to study. It’s quite a job on itself
to invest in stock. Time is flying by and I have organization problem.
Especially during summer.
Imagine what,
I have received an email from Cimon Plante. That’s what he wrote me:
“Hi Sunny,
I've just
stumble upon your website and I really enjoyed it! I am an investment advisor,
in Montreal, for 7 years now and I applaud your financial acumen.
If you need
info for a stock or you want to grab a cup of coffee, let me know!
Cimon”
By the way, Cimon
Plante works in the same building where is located Blue Note (BNT).
First, we
need to admire the gut of the guy. Mr. Cimon Plante wants to meet the Dividend
Girl. Oh lala. Does he really know what he’s getting into? I mean, despite
being married, I have to say, it was quite tempting to meet Cimon Plante to see
what he would have to say. Fact is, yeah the man is married (I did my search –
remember that I want to do like the Desperate Housewives of Vancouver now and
married a millionaire) and I don’t like to lose my time in meeting that will
just drive me no where. Why will I go have coffee with a married man? Also,
meeting someone like this will rip off me as being a sexy anonymous blogger. A man
will know who I am, what I look like. Do I want that to happen? Certainly not.
Do I want to meet Cimon Plante? The answer is not no, but I prefer to stay away
from married men. Because married men are what they are: married.
LOL.
Fact is, no
matter how charming they sound and no matter how good looking they are, please,
for the sake of God, stay away from investment advisors, especially Quebec
ones. Here in Quebec, society suck. Just follow the education crisis in Quebec,
follow those students coming from outside Quebec who are getting ripped off by
Quebec society, listen to the outsiders like myself getting over-tax while
living in Quebec and not being able to benefit from health care. Listen to the
anarchists, those who have no respect to our Royalties, to our roots. I mean
come on. Quebec society is a whole piece of shit. Never give your trust to a
Quebecker, never give directly ANY of your money to ANY financial advisors of
the like of Cimon Plante. Quebeckers are not trustable. They are vulnerable,
they don’t pray God, they have no religion. The Quebec popular mass is
completely disgusting. They are selfish individuals who only think for
themselves.
Cases like Earl
Jones are not isolated here in Quebec. In their freshness, people think that
advisors are there to help. It’s not true. They are only sale people who touch
commission on investment they sell out and, even worst, it’s easy to lose your
money. In a case like Earl Jones, some people never gained back the totality of
the money they had lost in the hands of the criminal. So wake up, be smarter
than the 99%.
Go there,
invest by your own and kick some ass. It’s easier than what you think. My blog
is the real proof that anyone can save money no matter how little they gain. Take
in consideration that we live in a capitalist world, there’s nothing you can’t
do about it, if not just to fully take advantage of it. Poor don’t have to
become poorer. If you can eliminate all luxuries from your live, big car, big
house and big whatever else, you’ll be able to make it. Myself, I am almost
there. How would you feel not having to rely on an employer or anybody else
other than yourself to make a living? That’s what success is all about. Not
having to deal with stupid employers, not having to deal with laid off. Your
financial security will be your big finger over all that. Of the poison of life.
No investment advisor is able to do that for you. They are working themselves
their ass off to pay their big mortgage and luxuries etc. Why would you trust
financial advisors? Do you know who they are? Do you know what they hold as
investments? No, you don’t know anything about them. They are completed
strangers. In front of strangers, don’t have any money talk, if not just the
Dividend Girl because well, you know me now.
No one knows
what will happen tomorrow on the stock market. There’s no magic trick with the
investment game. For that only, I own Derek Foster big part of what I have
today. It’s unbelievable how much his books help me to build in a portfolio by
my own.
I wrote about
my experiences with Quebec financial services, with banks, Desjardins, BMO Bank
of Montreal, Manuvie etc. It’s really important that you read them all (in
other word, you need to read all of my posts of 6 years of happy financial
blogging). Get in touch with Quebec reality read about all the shit I went
through to build myself a portfolio. They wanted me to fail, but I succeed. Ok,
well, it’s not anytime soon I will stop working but more than ever, the whole
investment game is getting interesting. In other word, I seriously begin to
kick some ass.
The only
Quebecker I trust from the heart is Jean-François Tardif. I trust him and only
him for many several reasons. I don’t think I will get rip off by him,
sincerely. It’s not all Quebeckers who are bad of course; I speak in general
terms, but please, watch your back. Don’t trust anyone, if not just a man. I
like JFT because he doesn’t hold a stupid MBA title. AND he went back on the
public investment scene after making millions. He didn’t need to come back, if
not just for me (I KNOW LOL). To help me increase my overall income through his
JFT Strategic Fund (JFS.UN). So see, in other word, Jean-François Tardif is all
mine and I don’t want to get out of the anonymous blogging scene because being
anonymous is HOT and Jean-François Tardif is F hot too.
