Did you know? Emera Inc. (EMA) had increased its dividend distribution!!!

This morning, Newfoundlander Fortis Inc. (FTS) didn't suffer much, actually not at all, from yesterday news: Fortis Inc. CEO Barry V. Perry calling for retirement. One thing for sure, shareholders can only be happy with everything that Barry V. Perry did for Fortis Inc. (FTS). I love stocks that make be shine like a diamond and Fortis Inc. (FTS) is looking good in my investment portfolio. Let's just hope that Fortis will continue its marvelous journey for a long time. I made a lot of money on Fortis Inc. (FTS) and I really want things to remain the same, or - why not - even better. Let's just wish Barry V. Perry a very long happy retirement, I have the feeling that he's a real nice person.

The TSX almost closed in the 16 000 points. This is quite encouraging, but I am staying mentally ready for more ups and downs. Today, my non-registered portfolio closed today session at $100,899.08, my TFSA portfolio at $89,193.38, and my RRSP portfolio, stocks only, at $48,149.34. I will be able to go through this, I am pretty sure. Especially while having Fortis Inc. (FTS) in my non-registered and TFSA portfolios. And I also have other super great stuff who are helping to keep my head out of the water, like for example another baby of mine, Emera Inc. (EMA).

Just a few days ago, on September 16, Emera Inc. (EMA) dividend increased $2.45 to $2.55. Yes, it's a tiny little increase, but its an increase anyway. The best thing of all being that EMA is looking forward to increasing its dividend growth through to 2022, with a target of 4 to 5%. That's really good news. And we need more good news like that over the TSX. Don't forget, things are never as dark as they appeared.
