Amber Kanwar is making her comeback to BNN Bloomberg! From now on, everything is going to be ok :-)

Today marks the return of Amber Kanwar to BNN Bloomberg following her maternity leave. Amber is lived from Monday to Friday to cover the market's opening, among with Jon Erlichman. Amber space is looking nice and luminous. I personally hear a bit of echo maybe, but nothing too strong. She seems to be shooting in a little office located on a second floor. She seems to be located in a suburban area, with other nice houses surrounding hers. As for Jon Erlichman, it's impossible to figure out where he might be located, in a house or a condo, in the city or the suburban area, but at least now, his dry flowers bucket is better exposed and it makes it easier to see what the bucket is holding... I had been obsessed with that bucket for months now, which is hilarious - at least for me. In this time of pandemic, you need to take your fun whenever, whatever.

I was listening to Amber this morning and it just took me by surprise, the name of my superb NFI is not, like expressed yesterday, New Flyer Industries Inc. (NFI), but NFI Group Inc.! Today, NFI Group Inc. (NFI) just rock on the TSX again, this time with a +4.658% really interesting gain. In my non-registered portfolio, I am currently experiencing a fantastic gain of +139.89%. It pays off to hold quality holdings. It makes everything a lot easier.

Amber Kanwar and Jon Erlichman are a good television duo. I really like The Open. For me, the market opening is certainly the most important part of the day, so I usually listen to BNN's The Open with attention during the morning.

I now have over $500 in cash inside my TFSA portfolio. I am not in a hurry to invest in something new. While checking over my beautiful TFSA portfolio, I am just noticing now that Cargojet Inc. (CJT) is on trading halted. It's probably because of this.

Yesterday, Susan Brunner posted a review of a stock that I hold in my TFSA portfolio: Calian Group Ltd. (CGY). I barely ever write about Calian Group Ltd. (CGY), but it's not because it's a bad investment. Everything seems to go smoothly for my CGY stocks. At 1.71%, its dividend distribution is reliable. CGY closed today session on a good +1.13%. Calian Group Ltd. (CGY) had been in my TFSA since April 2018. On that stock alone, I am on an enormous capital gain of +113.78%. If I don't write much about CGY, it's simply because it is perfection. Back on January 1st, Susan had reviewed another stock baby of mine: Metro Inc. (MRU). In both cases, Susan Brunner's review of Calian Group Ltd. (CGY) and Metro Inc. (MRU) seems to me to be positive ones.

Today on the TSX, something just unbelievable happens: Nutrien Ltd. (NTR) gain +5.38%. Inside my TFSA portfolio, Nutrien Ltd. (NTR) is finally registering a gain. Today, NTR closed today's session with a gain of +10.13% for my TFSA portfolio, which is awesome and unbelievable! I had a real difficult time getting in the green zone with NTR. Everything was much easier when NTR was Agrium. I miss Agrium!

Watch out, Canadian investors! New Flyer Industries Inc. (NFI) is on fire with a +15.278% gains on the TSX!

Today, New Flyer Industries Inc. (NFI) had closed today's session on a spectacular 15.278%. It's been a rough road for New Flyer, so I am happy to see the stock going on a hype. New Flyer Industries Inc. (NFI) had been part of my non-registered portfolio since 2011. Back in the days, New Flyer Industries Inc. (NFI) was known under a different name: New Flyer Industries Inc. (NFI.UN). I always like the name "New Flyer". It's a real cool name!

In 2021, I am celebrating my 10th anniversary with NFI. Since 2011, many things happen for NFI. Its chart speaks for itself.

Since I had been holding NFI for a really long time, its price drop of 2018 didn't really bother me. By the way the chart is looking right now, I am under the impression that we are in for more great capital gains. I cannot imagine my non-registered portfolio without any New Flyer Industries Inc. (NFI) stocks in it. Back in 2011, New Flyer went under a complex restructuring procedure. I never understood anything about it, but I was happy to see that the New Flyer team was doing something to save their business. That restructuring was giving me a good impression. I felt confident and I had little to no worries.

That restructuration happens to be a success. In 2015, interesting stuff was happening for NFI. Already in 2019, I was announcing with real enthusiasm that you could get rich on NFI. :-) 

Over the years, NFI's road hasn't been an easy one, but there have always been some good business announcements made around that stock, a contract had been win here and there, etc. It's fun to hold on to a good Canadian company that is strong and knows where it's going. Now it is not too late to benefit from NFI, but be aware that in this pandemic-economic environment, nothing is easy, no investment, especially in stock, is guaranteed.

I am extremely pleased to announce that I am a proud stockholder of New Flyer Industries Inc. (NFI), so let's go NFI! GO!

My situation with Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) and an old stock of mine may makes a comeback in my investment portfolio

Today in Montreal, the sun wasn't out like yesterday, but it didn't stop people from skating at the La Fontaine Park. I was surprised to see many people skating like that. Back home, it's not safe to do such a thing. The weather is simply not cold enough to secure the ice on the lake and others. Looking fun, isn't?

Earlier today, I was exposing my situation regarding one of my oldest holding Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS). Knowing that I had been holding that bank stock since my early beginnings. Knowing that I had been holding BNS for such a long time, 10+ years, I would have expected my capital gain to be much better than the +15.65% that I am currently experiencing. For comparison purposes, I am on a +10.89% gains on the JFT Strategies Fund Class A Units (JFS.UN)'s shares that I hold inside my TFSA portfolio. Inside my TFSA, I had been holding JFT Strategies Fund Class A Units (JFS.UN) since October 2020...

Of course, it's frustrating because gaining high capital gain is important for me. I want to see the value of that portfolio of mine to grow and grow and grow. However, I just cannot deal with the idea to sell my BNS shares so I decided - for now, not to sell. It's also OK to remain in your position when things are getting messy. I am holding all of my assets for the long run, I can deal with a little weaker investment. I may appear to be too emotionally involved with my stocks, but it is the case. I have absolutely nothing to hide about what I do, and why I do it.

I currently have over $450 cash inside my TFSA. I won't invest using that money for now as I would like to make a bit bigger investment, but I was thinking about getting back in one of my old babies: Exchange Income Corporation (EIF). I also previously mentioned Pollard Banknote Limited (PBL) as a possible future investment, but my excuse for not investing in it at present is its involvement in the finance sector. 

Currently, what I hold of Exchange Income Corporation (EIF) inside my TFSA portfolio result from a DRIP, some shares arrived after I had sold my EIF shares. Back in July 2017, Marc Cohodes, an American, destroyed the confidence that investors had in Exchange Income Corporation (EIF) by publicly questioning EIF's ability to pay its dividend distribution, among others. By doing so, he negatively affects the value of Exchange Income Corporation (EIF). I got scared and since I was able to sell with a little profit, I did so. Since 2017, Marc Cohodes is nowhere to be seen. My Exchange Income Corporation (EIF) baby had proved to be a super stock. And I now regret it. EIF belongs to my portfolio.

To sell or not to sell Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) - that is the question

The TSX closed this past Friday session on a super-18,042.07 strong points, but it's not making much sense knowing that our economy loss over 60,000 jobs in December. It just doesn't feel right and it make me feel somewhat anxious, more than the COVID, but nothing I cannot deal with. It's not something that keeps me awake at night. COVID had been part of our life for now several months now, it's a drill.

New footage from the Capitol sad events came out and it was just too sad to watch. One policeman was suffocated, he was on the front row, stuck between other officers and the rioters. The rioters did nothing to help him, they didn't leave to make some space to the poor man. One rioter actually touches the officer mask, in a move to maybe help him breath, I don't know. It was horrific to watch. It's over for Donald Trump. I used to have a somewhat admiration for him, but that is all gone now. He can't possibly move on from those sad events. This is his legacy to the US. Blood and deaths.

Here in Montreal, we are dealing with the newest thing since yesterday: a curfew. Under the new rules, it is required to stay home between 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. This doesn't affect me much. I am always home during those hours, especially now since the gym is close. If the hours would have been set starting 5 p.m., I would have been upset, but a curfew starting at 8 p.m. is, in my opinion, more than reasonable. Yesterday was day 1 of the curfew. The sun was out, it was a beautiful day despite the circumstances. Take a look for yourself:

With such beautiful places in Montreal located just a few minutes away from my apartment, going through this pandemic is not difficult for me. I try to go out for walks outside as much as possible.

I spent a big part of yesterday shopping around to build up a bit my reserved. I am probably good for a little while, except for milk, that I buy at least once a week because I like milk too much for not having any every week. Otherwise, I won't need much. Toilet paper: check lol. Cleaning products: check. Groceries: check. And a bunch of other things: check, check and... check. With my last run completed, I was exhausted. And happily watched Harry Porter, last chapter was being screened on a French channel.

Yesterday, pass 7 pm, it happens that I was watching Ethereum (ETH), and precisely at that time, ETH hit on its highest value ever: $1,641.34 CAN. It seems like especially during the weekend, ETH likes to hit on highest value over and over again. Yesterday again, at exactly 8:44 pm Eastern Time, ETH is trading - again - at its highest value ever, now being established at $1,691.12 CAN... And so on... For now, I am enjoying quietly watching ETH. And while doing so, I am thinking about what I should do with my Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS).

Back on Friday, I learned by listening to BNN that an important analyst had revised its economic forecasts downwards for Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS). Bank of Nova Scotia had been in my non-registered portfolio since the early beginning. Back in the days, BNS was a Derek Foster's stock. I am collecting a good amount of dividend income on that one. However, this pandemic had shown the weakness of Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS). For a while in past recent months, I was experiencing a capital loss on my BNS shares, while my other bank holdings, like Royal Bank of Canada (RY) and Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD) were doing just fine. 

Canadian Imperial Bank Of Commerce (CM) is another stock bank that I hold that had, like BNS, show off some sign of weakness. However, I don't worry about CM. I know how CM is. And its dividend is too good to turn my back against Canadian Imperial Bank Of Commerce (CM). BNS had been more problematic than CM. While facing time like this, the dividend is the last thing I have in mind. What I want is to protect the capital that is invested. 

This past Friday, I was tempted to sell all of my Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) stocks. I didn't proceed, at least not yet. In the past, when I was having problems with a stock, what I did in some occasions was to partly sell the x stock, in order to reduce my exposure to the problematic stock. Other times, I just sell all of my stocks for x holding. To partly sell or not remain your own personal decision. In the case of BNS, I am tempted to partly sell it. Or I may even not. It's just really hard for me to decide but I will let you know what I decide.

The TSX hit on the 18,000 points - and again, I reach my highest net worth value EVER: $268,180.14!!!

Party, party, party!!!!!!

Oh no wait... can't party anymore... no matter what :(

Today, I didn't miss the opening, I was right on! I experience the The Bitcoin Fund (QBTC). I confirm, QBTC trades in Canadian dollars, over the TSX. For me, I knew it was going to be a good day on the market, no matter what happens at the Capitol, which is strange, in a certain way. I place my purchase order as soon at 9:30 am quick in. Despite the fact that The Bitcoin Fund (QBTC) trades in CAN, it took a moment for the buy order to go through. This is a really annoying problem that I also experimented while trading The Ether Fund (QETH.U). Regarding The Bitcoin Fund (QBTC), only the buy order was a bit slow. As for my sell order of The Bitcoin Fund (QBTC), it went quickly as usual, the sell order wasn't slow to go through. Today, both TSX and Bitcoins - and not to exclude myself - had reached their highest value ever. 

Earlier today, the following regarding The Bitcoin Fund (QBTC) was quite interesting:

At that time, 10:11 am, today highest value, $65 was exceeding the 52-week high of $60.99. I let QBTC be in my non-registered portfolio for a little while. I was refreshing from time to time. When I noticed the price began to go down, I quickly sell. The last thing I wanted was to get stuck with The Bitcoin Fund (QBTC) in my portfolio. I made a little profit of $76.02 after commission fees, not too bad for just a few hours of refreshing my page. It didn't take too long and it was fun! :-)

Earlier today, while watching BNN with Andrew Bell, something happen. The TSX hit on the 18,000 points! Andrew Bell was wearing a purple tie, which seem to be a popular color within BNN anchors. On days like this one, you need to celebrate because you never know what tomorrow will be like on the market. While the TSX hit on 18,000 points, in a all natural move, it was obvious that I needed to update my investment portfolio, and so I did. My net worth is now at its highest value ever: $268,180.14.

While watching BNN Bloomberg today, I notice a commercial coming from 3iQ Corp. In their commercial, 3iQ Corp compare the price of gold to the price of Bitcoins. Both charts are being exposed in a way that the Bitcoins chart appear to be lower than the one of gold... 3iQ are trading products, none of them should be consider as serious investment for the long run.

Overall, today was a good day.

I am now on my highest net worth value EVER: $264,915.22

Today was a sad day for Americans. I watched in horror the images coming from the Capitol. I don't even understand how in hell the rioters had been able to actually even enter the Capitol. And that important place doesn't seem to be secure at all. Windows had been easily blocked. Walls had been easily climbed. Following what, I hope Joe Biden will make sure to review the security of the entire Capitol. Personally, I think that the woman who got killed inside the Capitol got shoot by accident. She wasn't the target. For me it was the man, probably a policeman, with a big gun who seems to be right behind her who was mean to be the main target. It was quite something to see all those brave men desperately trying to push back the rioters. The policemen were not aggressive enough in their response, which is strange to know that this happens in the US. It was almost like those policemen didn't know how to fight and appear to be weak. If anything had to happen to you, don't act like those policemen, close your hand tight and punch HARD like a beast and give it all until your less breath. I would expect my policemen to fight like a gangster before anyone could even enter a single foot inside what should consider an American symbol, an institution. When I see the footage, I see a too calm reaction coming from those poor policemen. Maybe they were just too scared to act. I understand they couldn't use their guns unless they really had too, but they should have respond more aggressively. While facing such response, which would have been my response, I am pretty sure that many rioters would have just gone away. Many of them were just regular folks, looking dumb like the infamous Marc Cohodes, with a really weak body, and a weak mind. It doesn't take much to take down such crap. Today, the world got a revelation: the United States are a has been country and it feels good to know that. Now to have the confirmation that the country from where Marc Cohodes come from is a big nothing.

This morning, I did my best but I missed the market opening, and it felt like all my day got ruined in an instant. I felt really frustrated. But today, some Americans had a much rougher day than I had. I am actually feeling sad for the woman who died today in the Capitol. It shouldn't be a place where anyone should die. She probably didn't even get what was happening to her. Anyhow, I was pissed for missing today's stock opening and that's because currently, both Bitcoins and Ethereum are experiencing a high momentum. I wanted to try The Bitcoin Fund (QBTC). First, I wanted to have a quick look and then decided quickly to invest or not... Now is the best time to trade on QBTC. Markets are in heat for no valuable reason, Bitcoins are within their highest value. Fact is, it takes chaos to have the perfect environment to perform perfect hit-an-run moves like I name them. I would like to perform one last move, and after, I will be done. Retired (from trading). DONE WITH IT. I want to be done with it, get my appetite satisfied, get the feeling of self-satisfaction and then get done. Over.

In the moment, Bitcoins are others are exciting, but it doesn't mean it's going to last. That's why you shouldn't consider as being investment the products being proposed by 3iQ Corp: Bitcoin Fund The Class A units (QBTC), The Bitcoin Fund (QBTC.U) and The Ether Fund (QETH.U). Bitcoin Fund The Class A units (QBTC), The Bitcoin Fund (QBTC.U) and The Ether Fund (QETH.U) are not reliable investments for the long run. They are only funds made for players, for day traders looking for a nice play time.

For once, I had found a great stock while listening to BNN. I was watching Andrew Bell and once of his guest - I unfortunately didn't note the name (I only wanted the stock lol), talked about Pollard Banknote Limited (PBL) and I found that stock quite interesting. Since it's in the finance sector, I would like to only place a small investment in that one.

Today, despite everything, I had reached my highest net worth value EVER: $264,915.22.

On why you should consider The Ether Fund (QETH.U) as a risky and volatile investment

First, many investors, like probably Warren Buffett himself, probably don’t consider Ethereum (ETH) as an investment. Currently (that was earlier this morning), BNN anchor Jon Erlichman is explaining that in the US, we are facing a sell off. Today, Jon Erlichman was wearing a purple silk tie that fit him well. In 2021, it seems like his country farm bucket is here to stay! :-) (It’s a mysterious bucket that contains some fake decorative flowers that I find extremely bizarre for some reason and that bucket is in a dark corner right behind him, in an effort to create some kind of an ambiance background, as a little décor. It’s probably his girlfriend stuff lol). I had been obsessed by the content of that bucket for months now. I wonder what Amber Kanwar’s home décor will look like when she comes back from her maternity leave. Can’t wait! :-)

This sell off the situation for the US is a good indicator for crypto. That we like it or not, the US has a huge influence on the market. If the US market goes down, it’s mostly like that the TSX will also go down. It’s not of an automatic situation, but if the US market is down, the Canadian market will probably go down too, sooner or later. Let’s continue on the same road. If the US market is facing a sell off, chances are that cryptocurrencies will face a sell off as well. And this is particularly true at this time, when both Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoins had lived on their highest value ever. I am happy with the move I performed in The Ether Fund (QETH.U) yesterday. The timing was absolutely perfect.

I am not turning my back on The Ether Fund (QETH.U), but I would to see a little drop on the unit price before I get back in. QETH.U closed today session at $21.46. I was able to make good gain on it, but it’s quite complicated to play on a fund that trade in US dollars over the TSX. Today between 10:49 am and 10:56 am, QETH.U had been affected by a trading halt. Imagine being in front of your computer, and desperately trying to buy or sell some units... that must me frustrating. I had to wait for a couple of extra unusual seconds for my sell order to go through yesterday, and I wasn’t exactly happy.

Other than its famous The Ether Fund (QETH.U), 3iQ offers a fund that actually trade, from my understanding, in Canadian dollars, over the TSX: The Bitcoin Fund (QBTC).
