Again, my non-registered portfolio closed today session at its highest value ever: $191 720.21

Yesterday, my non-registered portfolio closed at $191 569.57, and today mark another little jump forward at $191 720.21.

I cam with a few interesting stocks today:

CGY
CIGI
CYB
SEC
GCG
LGT.B

Longer post tomorrow.

My non-registered portfolio closed today at its highest value ever: $191 569.57

A lot of things happen today to make that happen. Real soon, Premium Brands Holdings Corporation (PBH): will exceed the 60k value inside my non-registered portfolio. My APH stocks had gone down since I bought them, but today Aphria Inc. (APH) gains 7.37% on the TSX. I am confident that APH will gain again in value. I loved this stock right from the start, but APH is not an easy stock to hold, its title is super volatile and it's not the type of stock that I usually like to hold. If only my Nutrien Ltd (NTR) could finally start to perform well just like my old Agrium shares, I would be in heaven. While having a TSX under the 15 600 points, I never taught that I could possibly exceed the 190k value anytime soon.

Park Lawn Corporation (PLC) is probably one of the best stock that I had found using Stockopedia. Only for that one single stock, I will be eternally grateful for the magical finding. I am a good stock picker after all. And it has nothing to do with how much you know or not about finance. For me, its all about in deep common sense and when a stock light me up like PBH did to me ages ago, and more recently PLC, well that's a watch out baby. I will sometimes fail, but I am rarely on the wrong track.

PLC closed today session on a trading halt. A trading halt is the strangest thing ever. While all the other stocks on the TSX trade actively, a trading halt on a stock make it impossible to sell or buy it on the market. Today, Park Lawn Corporation (PLC) made a great announcement. PLC is looking forward to acquiring The Signature Group and Citadel Management. Those two acquisitions will help PLC to expense in the US territory. Quite great news. I never expected to be involved in the funeral industry, but its a business, like any other. And Park Lawn Corporation (PLC) is no different than Premium Brands Holdings Corporation (PBH). Both are super great stocks.

I am not sure if Brookfield Renewable Energy Partners L.P. (BEP.UN) belong in my portfolio anymore

The weather is turning really ugly in Montreal and its probably going to be worst tomorrow morning. I am just glad I can work from home. This past Friday session, my non-registered portfolio closed the session at a very good $189 723.58. My TSFA portfolio closed at $63 010.48, my US portfolio closed at $3 066.61 US and my RRSP portfolio closed at $37 088.64. This is quite good knowing that the TSX closed its session at a low 15 273.97 points. I would like to see the TSX at its old 15 600 value. But what I wouldn't like to see is a TSX under the 15 000 points... These days, nothing is easy and I am doing my best to protect my capital.

Like always, my Premium Brands Holdings Corporation (PBH) investment has a positive effect. My PBH investment is now exceeding the $55 000 value. I am like a little mermaid desperately trying to stay alive in an ocean of storm... And while doing so, my PBH is my rock and is pushing me all the way to the top. There's just nothing you can do about it so stay calm.

Last week, I decided to sell my Morguard North American Residential Real Estate Investment Trust (MRG.UN) shares. That left me over 2k to invest inside my TFSA portfolio. I was also thinking about selling my investment in The North West Company Inc. (NWC), but I didn't proceed with the move yet. It cost me like always to sell any of my babies, but they are only stocks, and I am the mermaid.

 

But currently, more than NWC, I am much more concern about my investment in Brookfield Renewable Energy Partners L.P. (BEP.UN). Things are not looking well for BEP.UN. If I sell Monday, I would make a tiny profit of... about $7 following commission fee. If I can sell BEP.UN at a profit, even tiny small on Monday morning, I will do so.... And I am still thinking about selling away The North West Company Inc. (NWC).

All of those selling inside my TFSA portfolio will leave me with a couple thousand. I am thinking about investing a part of that newfound money in a stock that I also hold inside my RRSP: CGI Group Inc. Class A Subordinate Voting Shares (GIB.A). CGI Group Inc. took it time to gain in value inside my RRSP portfolio, but it's not a bad stock to hold to for the long run. CGI doesn't pay a dividend, unfortunately.

Seem like even really smart girls can't have it all.

In the meantime, one of my newest investment, Canadian Real Estate Investment Trust (REF.UN) is going quite well inside my non-registered portfolio, it registered a gain of 2.54%. It's a real an ego booster to have one of my latest investment performing well in the stock market. Because as you might know, the TSX is not an easy place to be right now.

Inside my TFSA portfolio, another recent investment, Enbridge Inc. (ENB, is now on a 3.44% gains. If I can just continue being so real smart, I should get on the 230k net worth quickly, but I desperately need a TSX in the 15 500 points. Without a TSX in good shape, I am almost nothing.

For once in a really long time, I now have over $4 000 in my banking account. And I have the feeling that this time, the money will stay straight there since I have some money available inside my TFSA to satisfy my thirst for new investments.

I almost have it all after all.

Saying good-bye to Morguard North American Residential Real Estate Investment Trust (MRG.UN)

My non-registered portfolio closed today session at a $186 881.02, my TFSA at $63 410.25 and my RRSP (stocks only), at $37 366.11. I made the decision to sell all of the Morguard North American Residential Real Estate Investment Trust (MRG.UN) stocks that I was holding inside my TFSA portfolio. It wasn't a very difficult decision to make. And nothing retain me to get back in MRG.UN later on. Right now, I don't want to lose any money and MRG.UN had been on the low side for the past year. Luckily, I had been able to make a little profit of $153 by selling MRG.UN today.

Again inside my TFSA, I am thinking about selling my The North West Company Inc. (NWC).

And eventually, I could sell also those two, form my TFSA:

 National Bank of Canada (NA), and Canadian Imperial Bank Of Commerce (CM) stocks. 

Currently, my margin debt is at a fat $103 012.38. I don't dislike the idea of paying down that margin debt and get on a fresh start. 

There are a few stocks that I hold inside my non-registered portfolio and that I could easily sell:

ENF, PPL, TRP. I have no real attachment towards those oil stocks. I could also easily sell my ENB shares.

By selling those investments and by putting down my saving for the next 8 months, I could reduce my margin usage to around $30 000. I like to come with scenarios like this one. Its always good to have options on the table.

However, this year so far, my non-registered portfolio registered at 15.01% gain, and since 2012, I am on an 18.51% gain. Knowing that, it would be foolish to sell any of my valuable stocks only to pay down my margin. One thing for sure, I shouldn't go higher on my margin usage. I have everything it takes to support my existing big fat 103k margin. I know that one day will come where I will partly sell my investment to pay down my margin, but I still have the place to grow and I am not scared. I never had a real fear of my margin. I am exceeding 20k on what is left on my margin so its alright.

In the meantime, no new investment in the radar.

Regarding NWC, I am not sure if I should sell or not but its more a yes than a no at this time. I mostly would do it to protect my capital.

Stockopedia, please tell me where is hidding my next best thing

Things are not exactly going the way they should be on the TSX, especially since we are getting closer to a NAFTA deal. Investors should be enthusiasm as I am and leave the poor spirit behind. With its 15 227.70 points, my non-registered portfolio closed today session at $186 509.07, my TFSA portfolio at $63 395.22, and my RRSP portfolio stock only at $37 486.76. If the TSX can possibly hit its old 15 600 value, I could exceed my old time highest value ever in term of net worth, $221 000.

I have little money to invest and I was looking for a new find on Stockopedia, but no luck so far. However, my search makes me realize that my belove investment in Morguard North American Residential Real Estate Investment Trust (MRG.UN): - a stock that I pick on Stockopedia, had been going down all year long. However, no worries, I am still on the profit zone. I didn't place my move yet, but I think that my time had come. It's time to sell MRG.UN at profit while I still can.

I love all of my stocks, but sometimes, selling is a necessity. Especially knowing that some of my other stocks are down, and some other like PBH, MX, PLC, etc. are on nice capital gains. I don't understand Stockopedia, MRG.UN has a StockRank of 95 on their Web site. And Park Lawn Corporation (PLC), I stock that I made a lot of money on, which I also pick on Stockopedia a while ago, well my fabulous PLC is only at 75... StockRank is not all, but it seems like me and Stockopedia, we are not that at the same rank right now. And ho, my REALLY fabulous PBH... is only at 75!!! That's bullshit!!!! PBH worth more than a 75. Its the stock of my life. Can anyone understand that?

I will not wait for the poor man to wake up. I am going to get the extraordinary all by myself. I am the one that found AAR.UN, PLC, JWEL and how many great stocks that I hold. And I am going to do it again. Just watch me, little gangsters.

Anyhow, I do recognize the fact that I made real good findings using Stockopedia and I wish I will make another discovery soon. And of course, I will keep you posted. So lazy readers have no hard work to do. Wish me good luck, I am in need of some. I need to find my next best thing asap. Its something I need to be alive and find my oasis of satisfaction. I need to find back my power and I will not let it go.

Despite the storm, Premium Brands Holdings Corporation (PBH) is staying strong

I came back Monday evening from a few vacation days in New Brunswick, but now, it's not funny to be back and watching the TSX slowly getting under the 15 000 points is a real pain. Luckily, my biggest holder, Premium Brands Holdings Corporation (PBH) is acting like no storm is going on. PBH is still going strong and closed today... at a fantastic $116.36 per share.

When the TSX is volatile like this, I don't like to blog, I don't like to invest, I don't enjoy watching my investment portfolio online. Just at a time when I was at my highest value ever inside my non-registered portfolio, everything is all shacked up and it's hurting me, and it's hurting my portfolio value. It's just terribly annoying. It's not fun to be an investor at this time.

I had planned to proceed with a TFSA contribution in kind following my vacation, but with a TSX going all the way down, I am not in a position - because of my margin situation - to place such move. So I am doing the best to distract myself. Before leaving for my vacation, I had sold a leather chair on Kijiji and it gave me what I need to just continue selling whatever and everything I not wearing or using anymore, from books, clothes, boots, coat, and jewelry. I post a few items, no response yet. However, it seem like selling stuff on Kijiji can be a good way to earn extra cash. I am looking forward to make a $500 if not more - if I possibly can. I also have to go through all of my clothes. Maybe I will be able to push it to $600. As for now, its an experiment. I already earn $80 by selling that leather chair that I didn't like anymore. One great thing about Kijiji is that you can post for free, it's not like eBay, where you have to pay in other to post an item on their Web site.

Money is hard to earn and hard to be made on the stock market right now.

Welcome in my USA portfolio General Mills Inc. (GIS)

I was wrong! Derek Foster doesn't have 7 kids. With his newborn, which I wasn't able to learn if its a baby girl or baby boy, Derek Foster has now 8 kids! WOW! That's a courageous man! It must be hard, all that laundry, cleaning, cooking, homework, changing diapers, grocery shopping.... It's not only that... Those kids had to born. I just can't imagine myself giving birth. Nothing can beat that type of bravery. Mrs. Foster is a strong woman. The stock market is a little shit compare to such a big family life. Now we can understand why Derek Foster didn't publish any new book in a too long time now! Anyhow, you have to take whatever Derek Foster is willing to give us, poor investors. And currently, that being Enbridge Inc. (ENB) and General Mills Inc. (GIS).

Go go go! :-)

Today, I made my move in General Mills Inc. (GIS). Since its a Derek Foster stock I taught why not? Being a dad for the 8th time can only bring good luck. It's currently really difficult right now on the stock market. It seems like the trouble is at no end. My non-registered portfolio didn't stay on its $190 000 value - its highest ever - for really long. Today, my non-registered portfolio closed the session at $186 710.68, my TFSA portfolio at $63 014.34 and my RRSP portfolio (stocks only) at $37 299.25. This is what happens when the TSX slide and hit down to the 15 216.18 points. The TSX is a no man land. It's going nowhere these days. I just can dream of my $300 000 net worth. Anyhow, in the meantime, my latest investment in my TFSA portfolio, Enbridge Inc. (ENB) make some gains.

On this election year, Quebec budget seems to be really generous to Quebeckers.

I don't where we are going to hit next in term of return on the stock market, but I no longer care. I am tired and I know I am due for a little Easter vacation.

Welcome in my TFSA portfolio Enbridge Inc. (ENB)!

Easter is coming in a hurry and in the meantime, we had learned about one of Donald Trump affairs. Just like Bill Clinton before him, I believe that Trump is lying in the face of a desperate US nation.

On a happier note, Derek Foster announced today that his wife just gave birth... If I am correct, Derek Foster now has... 7 kids!!!! I was under the impression that his family was completed, he had a baby girl a couple of years ago... but I guess not. Also today, Derek announced that he made a new US investment in General Mills Inc. (GIS). This is just coming at a perfect time. Remember that I sold my Coca-Cola shares not too long ago? Well, I am going blind in the US stock market. I am probably going to invest in some General Mills Inc. (GIS) stocks.

I finally invested in Enbridge Inc. (ENB) today inside my TFSA account. I made only a small investment. It's quite hard to invest in ENB right now when the stock seems to only go down. For that reason, I only made a small investment. I didn't want to invest more. I am not super excited about this new investment, but during that time, Premium Brands Holdings Corporation (PBH) is making me proud. PBH closed today at its highest value ever: $117.08 per share! In result, my non-registered portfolio closed today session at $188 164.68. Not too bad. Just imagine how things are going to turn super great for me once the TSX hit back its old 15 600 points.....

 

Like Derek Foster, I am going to invest again in Enbridge Inc. (ENB)

Today was quite an extraordinary day for Premium Brands Holdings Corporation (PBH). PBH closed at its really highest value ever: $114.95 per share. It's now official, I am by far exceeding the 50k value in one single stock. I actually have enough to buy cash a little house in New Brunswick with my investment in Premium Brands Holdings Corporation (PBH) alone. But the best news is yet to come: my non-registered portfolio closed today session at its also highest value ever registered: $190 512.77. Its quite an event in my journey, especially knowing who badly I wanted to hold on to a $190 000 non-registered portfolio. Its now officially thing done in date of today. We'll have to see if I can possibly remain there. From now on, the next step is to reach the $200 000 value inside my non-registered portfolio - and that being without using any margin money. From now on, I am going to be a really good girl.

On this extraordinary day, my TFSA portfolio closed today session at $64 376.06, my RRSP portfolio (stocks only) at $38 175.78, and my US portfolio at $3 157.38. 

Also today, I sell all of my Coca-Cola Company (The) (KO). This is leaving me with brand new US dollars.

My tax declaration is also a dirty thing that is now officially done and completed. I have no tax to pay-back to Mr. Trudeau. I quite please. I am actually waiting to receive a small return from the federal and provincial - enough to cover the expenses from my next time in New Brunswick. Its quite greatly needed as I am running tight on cash, and that being only because I am doing the best I can to save max money for my next investment.

Yesterday, I explained that Derek Foster had posted in his newsletter, all fresh of yesterday, that he had purchased stocks of  Enbridge Inc. (ENB). I already have ENB in my portfolio. But I kept thinking of this and I told myself: if THE Derek Foster that highly participated in the fact that I am now on a 200k+ net worth, well, I taught that it may be time to WAKE UP GIRL, and invest, like Derek Foster, in some Enbridge Inc. (ENB) stocks.  

After a while, its just getting harder and harder to find a new stock to invest in. And investing in a stock that I already own is not a bad thing. I had so much success in the past by investing in Derek Foster stocks that I taught today that I should turn my back on the poor guy. What was I thinking??!!!

I own a pick chuck of my current net worth to Derek Foster and fact is, I own the presence of Premium Brands Holdings Corporation (PBH) inside my non-registered portfolio to Jean-François Tardif. Its the only stock that I bought after finding somewhere on the Web that he was suggesting this stock as an investment, he had posted a good review. And that had been many many years ago. Ever since, Jean-François Tardif retired, get back in the game and open his JFT Strategies Fund (JFS.UN). The fund had been successful in its first year, giving even an dividend to its investors, for for the past couple years, I decided to sell my JFS.UN units because it was going no where. And still, on date of today, the JFT Strategies Fund is going nowhere. What happens to my old master? Jean-François Tardif is just the shadow of what he used to be. His JFT Strategies Fund (JFS.UN) is not registering any grow. Its like I am a much better investor than Jean-François Tardif now!

What happens to him? Well, my idea of that is that Jean-François Tardif has better things to do rather than being the best, and he's having too many relationships with too many mistresses. SLOW DOWN mister.

So I am going to invest again in Enbridge Inc. (ENB) stocks and I just hope for Jean-François Tardif that he'll learn to do better in a close future.

At least, Derek Foster is still on the right side of the game, and that being for my only benefit and yours, if you want too.

THANK YOU GOD FOR GIVING ME DEREK FOSTER.

AND OF COURSE JEAN-FRANCOIS TARDIF TOO OK.

:-)

Getting ready to say goodbye to Coca-Cola Company (The) (KO)

When I like a stock, I like a stock. PBH had been a major holder in my portfolio for already many years now. And today, I received a wonderful gift. Premium Brands Holdings Corporation (PBH) closed today session at $113.3 - its really highest value EVER. And I don't know if you are ready for this, but my non-registered closed today session at $189 227.04 - which is so super close to the so wanted $190 000 mark! I will only be in heaven when I finally be there.

In the meantime, I have a couple of things I am looking into. This week, my tax declaration 2017 will be done and completed. I will find out if I owe anything to the big Tax Man. If I don't have to give any more money away, I may go ahead with a TFSA contribution. It's about time, and I know its a shame, but I have 10k in contribution room available.

I am not really pleased with my Coca-Cola Company (The) (KO) US investment. I am thinking about selling that investment. I just had made enough in capital gains on this one to cover the commission fee sell... Also, I am currently on a diet (getting ready for the summer) and I found out that Coca-Cola, even in its diet products, contains aspartame. Aspartame is a substitute for sugar, but it could be can be a carcinogen. Even chewing gum contains aspartame. That shit appears to be a bit everywhere. Today was the day of the Francophonie. And to celebrate, if you are curious to learn more, I strongly recommend a book by French nutritionist Corinne Gouget Additifs alimentaires danger!

Vive le français! Miss dumb-dumb Michaëlle Jean who's an expert at spender money as head of the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie didn't come with any revolution in defense of the francophonie and she's not a really strong leader. Her Majesty the Queen came along with a completely fuck up project: a $1 million luxury cruise. It will actually be useless, with no standing results. If the bitch has a million dollar at her disposal, she should be used it to create a scholarship fund, and give away that money to make a real difference in the life of French Haitian or Africans. Michaëlle Jean never came along with some realistic, really useful projects. The only thing she's good at is spending money, without meaning. She's the perfect example of super fresh immigrant and this is the perfect example on why we shouldn't accept immigrants in Canada. Sooner or later, they like to mess up with us. Michaëlle Jean is a shame to Canada. 

In his latest newsletter, Derek Foster announced today that he had invested in Enbridge Inc. (ENB). Nothing to be too excited about. It seem like I am really on my own when it comes to find a new super stock to invest in. I already own some ENB stocks in my portfolio and I try to go outside the oil sectors as new fantastic new stock investments. Currently, I am impressed by Parkland Fuel Corp (PKI). PKI had experiment a lot of volatility but in days like today, I am on a gain when it comes to PKI, so not too bad. Let's go PKI, make mommy proud.

Now, if only my Aphria Inc. (APH) stocks could gain value, my life would be extraordinary.
