Day 1 of Canada's Top Public Venture Capitalist competition!

Today was Day 1 of Canada's Top Public Venture Capitalist competition I was able to make it within the first 100 on 871 competitors. I won't tell you exactly my rank, but it's lower than 100. And you bet it is. I have to say I am quite proud of myself. Those 870 other competitors have a lot to worry about. After all, I am the Dividend Girl. You'll find a girl on YouTube that names herself the Dividend Girl, but that's not me. I am the only true Dividend Girl. And best of all, I am a New Brunswicker and I am trading directly from New Brunswick so yeah, sorry people. I have a secret weapon, which I won't tell you what it is. If you don't know what's my secret weapon by now, you are completely lost in the wood, sorry for that.

Let's say that this first day experiencing Canada's Top Public Venture Capitalist competition was a little warm-up. I didn't spend the whole day on it obviously, but just a few minutes, in order to get in the mood and try to track stocks that I can work on. I find a couple of stocks, but sincerely I will never invest in those stocks for my actual investment portfolio. This is why this contest is a bit difficult for me because I am really restricted on the number of stocks I have at my disposal to invest in, and I have to trade stocks that I will normally never touch. I will stop my observations here because I don't want to disclose my wonderful trader ideas to the other 870 competitors of this Canada's Top Public Venture Capitalist competition.

My real investment portfolio did well today, under the circumstances. The TSX is still going strong, closing the session on 21,250.41 points. My non-registered portfolio closed today session at $142,899.63, my US portfolio at $4,922.27 US, my RRSP portfolio - stocks only - at $66,044.40, and my TFSA portfolio at $129,469.36. Overall, my stock portfolio gain $444 today.

Today, my net worth closed the day at $344,906.74

Yesterday during the day, my non-registered portfolio exceed the $140,000 value. And today, when my non-registered portfolio closed on a $142,522.49 value, I knew I just had no choice other than to update my investment portfolio. So I did. But it didn't really worth it because I didn't exceed my highest net worth ever, which I reached back on February 9 of this year, with a $345,622.80 net worth. Today, my net worth closed at $344,906.74. My margin debt is now at $45,481.74. The way my numbers were looking today, I was under the impression that my net worth was in the $346,000, but it wasn't the case. At least now I know how much my current net worth is.

The TSX closed today's session on a good 21,255.64 points. As you might know by now, the Bank of Canada raised its lending rate by 25 basis points. It was about time. With inflation ruining our lives, the federal government had been quite slow in taking action. Usually, when we take about the interest rate being raised, the stock market responds negatively, but this time, the opposite happens. I guess investors are all happy about this. A 0.25 is not an enormous increase. I doubt it will be enough to control inflation. It really started feeling like the government is not going much for its citizens. 

I feel in-deep laziness in the government Trudeau, who's just never good enough in order to deliver anything properly. Justin Trudeau is just a pretty guy standing there, doing nothing to protect our interest. Those who vote Liberal should be put into shame. Justin Trudeau's government is of extreme laziness, but I know I am not. And this investment portfolio of mine is slowly beginning to really deliver and had just started its true colors. I don't have any problem imagining this exact same investment portfolio getting me in the $400,000 net worth. I am just simply too close not to be there yet. It's just a shame that I haven't been able to make it to the $346,000 net worth today.

Anyway, a stock that I hold inside my TFSA portfolio, Aecon Group Inc. (ARE) announced today a dividend increase, which is always fun to have as news. I am now missing less than $100 in order to reach an annual dividend income of $11,000. I can easily get on an $11,000 without doing nothing, while letting my DRIP do all the hard work for me. I estimate to earn around an extra $250 annually in dividend money coming from my DRIP, which is pretty good.

For the next couple days, we'll have to see how this war between Russia and almost the rest of the world evolved. Russia is pretty much alone now. And while it's happening, the strangest things happen: Bitcoins are growing stronger, and so does my portfolio.

An option to be handle with care to - MAYBE - have exposure to the potash industry: Verde Agritech Plc Ordinary Shares (NPK)

With a TSX closing today session at a good 21,126.36 points, my non-registered portfolio closed the session at $139,597.22, my US portfolio at $4,845.01 US, my RRSP portfolio - stocks only - at $66.082,93, and my TFSA portfolio at $129,008,82. My margin debt is now at $45,490. I estimate my net worth to be somewhere in the $337,000, which is not bad knowing the circumstances. Just in case you don't remember, my highest net had been reached a few days ago, on February 9, 2022, with a fabulous $345,622.80 net worth. It's strange but it feels like it's been a long time ago.

Nutrien Ltd. (NTR) value just keeps rising and rising. For today only, NTR registered a +5.661%. A stock that had activities in the same sector, Verde Agritech Plc Ordinary Shares (NPK), also made some great gains today, +2.151%. Since Nutrien Ltd. (NTR) is super expensive and trading over $100 per share, it could be a good idea to invest a little bit in Verde Agritech Plc Ordinary Shares (NPK), if you are looking to have exposure in the potash industry. Personally, I like to have a bit of exposure in bit everything. My favorite sector to invest in is Industrial and the sector I dislike the most is the Technologies, on which I have a very low exposure and I am totally fine with that.

Verde Agritech Plc Ordinary Shares (NPK) is an option, but I don't own any Verde Agritech Plc Ordinary Shares (NPK) stocks. I am not closing the door, but I have a few problems with NPK. I just don't understand why NPK is trading over the TSX since they don't seem to have any activities in Canada. On top of that, NPK doesn't pay any dividends. Verde Agritech Plc Ordinary Shares (NPK) is basically a stock that I discovered over Stockopedia by reading this article and that I had been following ever since. I am just intrigued by that stock, that's all.

I don't like to invest in stocks that are super expensive like Nutrien Ltd. (NTR). I am happy that NTR is in my portfolio. 

Canadian Imperial Bank Of Commerce (CM) announced an upcoming beautiful stock split

Along with the good results of this past Friday for the TSX, the Canadian Imperial Bank Of Commerce (CM) announced a great event that will take place later on, a stock split. Personally, I adore stock splits. Usually, following a stock split, the value of the stock inside my investment portfolio gains in value, which is always fun to watch. I am looking forward to the Canadian Imperial Bank Of Commerce (CM) proceeding with its split. 

At $163.61 per share, CM stock is super expensive. Once CM split, I may invest again in a few shares. Currently, CM had an attractive dividend yield of 3.936%. Its dividend may increase once it's under the split - or not - but that's all depends on how much the Canadian Imperial Bank Of Commerce (CM) is looking to create and affect and drive the attention of investors straight into its shares.

CM is not the only bank to be in the inner circle world of stock splits. Back in 2014, Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD) proceed with a two-for-one stock split. Other stocks of mine went under a stock split operation. Back in 2011, it was Enbridge Inc. (ENB). The year 2013 had been quite a busy financial year for stock splits. Back in 2013, we had Canadian Utilities Ltd. (CU)  that went under the knife for a 2-for-1 split. Always in 2013, Telus Corp (T), Canadian National Railway Co (CNR), and Andrew Peller Limited (ADW.A) all experimented with a beautiful split. And not to forget Stella Jones (SJ) - which I no longer hold. Open Text Corporation (OTEX) also went under a stock split back in 2017, under the ticket OTC.

While waiting for the Canadian Imperial Bank Of Commerce (CM) stock split to actually happen, I had been taking a look into my stuff. It seems to me that these days, LifeWorks Inc. (LWRK) is not really performing well. It started annoying me. I am tempted to sell, but I was looking for other stocks in the same sector, and I didn't find anything great enough to replace it. LifeWorks Inc. (LWRK) is not exactly a bad investment. I am never afraid to look into my portfolio and check out what can be improved.

With my annual dividend that is now exceeding the $10,900 mark, I only want to push up a bit of thing around and reach the annual $12,000. One stock that is going well for sure in both my RRSP and TFSA portfolio is Nutrien Ltd. (NTR). Inside my RRSP portfolio, NTR gained +18.75%. Inside my TFSA portfolio, NTR is on a solid gain of +64.24%.

During this past Friday session, Verde Agritech Plc Ordinary Shares (NPK) had gained +18.283%, and Nutrien Ltd. (NTR) +4%. Unfortunately, the war between Ukraine and Russia had positive effects on the Canadian potash stocks I read somewhere that Ukraine is an important producer of potash. NPK could be worth our attention.

My newest investment in Labrador Iron Ore Royalty Corporation (LIF) is bringing on some valuable $$$

On the second day of the conflict Russia-Ukraine, it's almost a return to normal for the TSX. We are back in the precious 21,000 points. The TSX closed this Friday session on a good 21,106 points, which I don't really understand why it went up again... It's almost like we are on a recovery mode and will soon enough get back in the 21,700 points or something. However, I know this for sure, each and single day is a different one on the TSX. Fact that the TSX earns 300 points today means basically nothing at all. It's just the stock market being sporadic. 

This past Friday beautiful gains could be all gone this upcoming Monday morning. The stock markets have their own ways to react to things - including war - and it's not always easy to follow. Because what's going on between Russia and Ukraine right now is more than just a conflict, it's a war. And it's super sad. No matter what, life goes on.

On a lighter note, I did enjoy this past Friday's gain, it was comforting to watch my TSX baby gaining some valuable points. My non-registered portfolio closed today on a good $138,319.06, my US portfolio at $4,845.89, my RRSP portfolio - stocks only - at $65,675.56 and my TFSA portfolio at $127,977.52. This past Thursday, I made two new investments in Labrador Iron Ore Royalty Corporation (LIF) for my TFSA portfolio, and Power Corporation of Canada Subordinate Voting Shares (POW) for my RRSP portfolio. In a matter of two days, POW gains +0.36% and LIF gains +4.89% inside my investment portfolio. It's quite fun when a newcomer hits on nice gain. 

Earlier this year, I came up with this great plan for my money, which was going the following way: my margin debt: $533; money to be put toward my TFSA: $417; over my savings: $334; my RRSP: $208; money aside per month for my vacation: $200. This past Friday, I was able to have almost all of this done. Because of the current volatility of the stock markets, I decided to put the money that I would have normally put toward my savings and vacation over my margin account debt. It doesn't make that of a difference to lower my margin debt but at least it's a little step. 

Since I had contributed lately to a 1k to my TFSA and $500 to my RRSP, I just didn't have any money left to do everything like it was originally planned, but I will try to catch up with my savings and vacation money at the end of March. I never put money aside specifically for my vacation before, so I was very proud of myself when I started doing this at the end of December. 

That's all regarding my money stories for now.
