At now $296,307.38, my net worth is at its highest value ever

As soon as the market close today, I quickly updated my portfolio because with a beautiful TSX closing at 19,321.92 points, I knew I was up for some hot stuff. And so I did! My net worth is now at $296,307.38. I am now really close to the so wanted $300,000. The idea to reach that amount before my 41 birthday is making me feel quite happy. It's just strange that all this is happening while we are still stuck in a pandemic. All of my fantastic results are kind of not making any sense at all! However, I won't complain more than that.

For this year, I think we are in for even more gains on the stock market. It's been said that in the US, they begin to go see somewhat of a financial rebound. Here in Canada, I don't really know, since we are still so badly hit with COVID, not even half of the population got vaccinated yet. The whole vaccination process is simply taking way too long and it will eventually slow down our economic recovery. But fact that the US is on the good track is a good factor for us.

I am still closely watching my two Bitcoin funds: Bitcoin Fund The Class A units (QBTC) and Purpose Bitcoin ETF CAD ETF non-currency hedged units (BTCC.B). Currently, if I would be selling those two investments right now, I would be collecting $613 in profit. Nice amount, but I do not need money and I am willing to wait for even more before selling those two investments.

I don't have new investment plans in mind, I am just trying to control my expenses and save more money.

Does 3iQ CoinShares Bitcoin ETF worth the hype?

I think I may have reached $295,000 in net worth, and that being despite the gap created by Aphria Inc. (APHA) who decided to go down by -14.19%. Currently, inside my TFSA portfolio, my investment in Aphria Inc. is down to -18.93%. Today, my non-registered portfolio closed the session at $122,434.61, my US portfolio at $4,176.66 US, my TFSA portfolio at $116,805.36 and my RRSP portfolio - stocks only - at $57,711.73. I am probably in the $295k, but I am just not in the idea of updated my portfolio right now.

Also in my TFSA portfolio, my dividend income generated $418.07 in cash. My investment in Bitcoin Fund The Class A units (QBTC) gains +20.85% and my investment in Purpose Bitcoin ETF CAD ETF non-currency hedged units (BTCC.B) gains +8.86%. If I would be selling now those two investments, I would be caching in a profit of $416.53, after commissions, free of tax. Nice, but I am willing to hold on to those two Bitcoin investments for now. 

Between Bitcoin Fund The Class A units (QBTC) and Purpose Bitcoin ETF CAD ETF non-currency hedged units (BTCC.B), QBTC is by far better investment than BTCC.B. The Bitcoin Fund The Class A units (QBTC) is more volatile than BTCC.B, but this only works in its favor. However, I like to have something less volatile, like BTCC.B. My little favorite, Bitcoin Fund The Class A units (QBTC), is a 3iQ Corp's fund. Recently, 3iQ Corp announced the release of a new fund, 3iQ CoinShares Bitcoin ETF. I don't exactly understand the mix between 3iQ Corp, Bitcoin and CoinShares International Ltd. The 3iQ CoinShares Bitcoin ETF is not yet trading over the TSX. It will be interesting to see how this now fund turn out to be.

I now had reached my highest net worth value EVER: $294,735.64

I had updated my investment portfolio. I was under the impression that I was in the 250k. It didn't happen for this time, but with now a net worth of $294,735.64, I am getting closer and closer to the $300,000. While being almost there, $300,000 doesn't feel like I felt over it before. Suddenly, $300,000 doesn't feel like being that much money, now that I am so close to it. From there, it will be interesting to see how things are turning out. Over the years, as my investment portfolio and net worth grow, I was able to notice that things just got easier and easier, in the sense as soon as I reached one goal after the other, it just seems that everything was getting into place, and that, after all, I wouldn't have to work that hard to have what I want.

When I started this blog almost 15 years ago, my only goal was to build on a $50 000 net worth. It felt like a huge amount for me at that time, but to my surprise, I was able to reach that amount quite quickly. From there, the idea to build on an even larger investment portfolio value came naturally, there was just no turning back. Money has never been extra important to me, but as I began saving money, earning more, and investing more and more, I kind of just wanted more. More is always better, especially with $$$.

AGAIN - I reached today my highest net worth value ever: $293,254.22!

Ok, so now, this investment thing is getting really exciting! I am now only missing $6,745.78 before hitting my first $300,000. I just had no other choice than to update my portfolio today because, on this Easter Monday, the TSX decided to close, for the first time, in the 19,000 points! The TSX closed this Monday at 19,026.79 points. I am waiting for a big paycheck this upcoming Friday. I may be able to hit on the $295,000 net worth at that time if the TSX remains in good shape. So far so good.

This morning, I was listening to BNN's The Open. Jon Erlichman took his day off and Amber Kanwar was stealing the show with a pretty pink blouse. Straight at the market opening, the TSX took everyone by storm, getting in the 19,000 point vibes. It was quite something to watch the beloved TSX hitting on the 19,000 points direct on TV. It seems like Jon Erlichman missed a historic event. While revealing that the beautiful TSX was hitting on the 19,000 points, Amber Kanwar explains to the viewers that the European markets were closed, but no matter what, and please let me quote her because it was just too much of a powerful statement: "A HIGH IS A HIGH". That's how Amber Kanwar said it and she's exactly right. No matter what shit is going on, a high is a high, period. End of the discussion.

I will try to remember that on this historic day, my net worth had made it to the $293,254.22.
