Saying hello to a $347,000 net worth and a bunch of other things

I got a very quiet Black Friday here in New Brunswick. I wasn't in need of anything in particular so I just skipped it. If I would have been in Montreal, I would probably have done a bit of shopping. A few days ago, I cancel my subscription to Stockopedia. Not that I didn't like it anymore, but the annual subscription and even their monthly subscription don't come cheap. I just didn't feel like I needed to renew it, at least not for now. However, I am not closing the door to Stockopedia. My plan is to subscribe for a month or two later on during the year 2023, when it will make a long time since I didn't consult it. Or whenever I really miss it.

I could afford to keep Stockopedia, especially since I will be receiving very soon a $400 credit coming from the Quebec government, but I prefer to stay on the safe side when it comes to my expenses. Here at home in New Brunswick, a few windows are in great need of changes and I will probably give that $400 to my old folks, to change the very old window that is in my bedroom. We have at least 3 other small windows that are in critical need of a replacement. It makes my old folks laugh when I tell them that I am a Quebecker. Here in New Brunswick, nothing is being given to the population in terms of an "inflation" bonus. I make less than $100,000, but more than $50,000 per year, which qualifies me for the $400, and not the $600 bonus. However, for 2023, I can already say that I won't be earning as much as I did so far in 2022. It's not necessarily a bad thing.

Anyway, despite the fact that I am really happy to receive that extra $400, I feel the Quebec government is not doing the right thing. With that money, they should cover the education cost for young adults who want to become a nurse or doctor, or for whatever profession in the healthcare industry. Giving money to give money is not doing any good to fight inflation. Giving away money for just the heck of it - and that's really what the Quebec government is doing - doesn't serve any social purpose. While having the luxury to hold to so much money like the Quebec government does, it would be nice to see that money working at making things better. A lot can be done, and I am excessively jealous of Quebec society, to have as much as they have. Currently, I feel that New Brunswick is kind of falling apart. The province is dealing with many problems, homelessness in the big cities, lack of care - some people had died at the emergency room in Moncton, lack of apartments available - we have some foreign students who have a really really hard time just finding a place to live etc... None of those problems are brand new, but now, it feels like the problems are hitting the population in a harder way.

The end of the year is coming in a hurry and soon enough, it will be time to invest a bit in my RRSP contribution. Again this year, I did several extra hours at work and the only way not to pay extra in taxes or ease the process is to invest in my RRSP. I already invest in my RRSP at work, but it's only a small amount. I would need to invest I guess another $3,000-$4,000 inside my RRSP to make a positive difference. Now that I have a good amount in my non-registered and TFSA portfolio, I can certainly afford to invest in my RRSP, but I never find RRSP to be very interesting.

I updated my investment portfolio this weekend. I was quite pleased to find out that my net worth is now in the $347,000. The old $360k doesn't appear to be that far anymore. Today wasn't a very good day for the TSX. I was listening to BNN this morning, just to learn that RBC is looking forward to buying HSBC Canada. As result, RBC closed today's session on a little +0.42% gain. It's better than no gain at all. My non-registered portfolio closed today's session at $146,796.70, my US portfolio at $5,341.23, my RRSP stocks-only portfolio at $61,243,21, and my TFSA portfolio at $125,113.04.

Other than RBC, Saputo had to deal with some troublemakers. I hold some Saputo Inc. (SAP) shares in my TFSA portfolio. Recently, I was looking into the holdings of JFT Strategies Fund Class A Units (JFS.UN), as I taught maybe find in there something that will blow my mind, but I just find some really basic boring stuff. Among others, JFS.UN is invested in Telus, Wajax, BCE... and Saputo. You can find a more detailed list right here. Today, because of this, Saputo's value decreased by -5.92%. It's a major drop. But it didn't seem to affect my investment in JFT Strategies Fund Class A Units (JFS.UN), which gain today by +1.195%.

I don't know how things will turn out for Saputo, but that saga between Saputo and Spruce Point Capital Management reminds me of what I went through a little while back between Exchange Income Corporation (EIF) and Exchange Income Corporation (EIF) and Marc Cohodes. In both cases, we are dealing with some American idiots who are looking forward to destroying some valuable Canadian businesses with their short-selling shitty business. This will pass. Just like it did for Marc Cohodes. Do you ever hear of Marc Cohodes these days? The answer to that question is no. 

Sometimes, you have Americans like Cohodes who are short-selling loudly our Canadian businesses, but that's more noise than anything else. People like Marc Cohodes and the other guys are just big on noise, but at the end of the day, the offensive is limitless, just like their brains. Don't be scared of the noise. Next to the TSX, those little guys are worthless.

Saying hello to a $337,227.95 net worth

It didn't last for very long, but for a few days at least, it was really nice to have the TSX back in the 20,000 points. I couldn't certainly miss this opportunity to shine, so like usual, whenever the TSX goes up, I did update - again - a few days ago, my investment portfolio page. This was to find out that I am now on a net worth of $337,227.95. Back at the beginning of February of this year, I was on a $340,000 net worth. In a way, I am kind of starting the year all over again. I like this no matter what, at least we are taking a few steps forward. I will be able to see back my old highest value ever - which was in the $360,000 back in April of this year.

It's now official, my dividend income is now in the $830, for my non-registered and TFSA portfolios part. If I include the dividend earned inside my RRSP, I am getting really super close to a dividend income the equivalent of $1,000 per month. I think I will be there shortly, probably even in just a few months if I don't invest in anything new.

Yesterday, we received our first snow and unfortunately, it's staying on. The weather is just too cold now. This is winter. Yesterday morning, the view was quite romantic and very pretty. If you don't know this view by now, it's because you are not a regular reader of my beautiful blog and that's a total shame:




I had been working very hard these past couple of weeks to restrict my spending. It's quite a lot easier to do so here in New Brunswick because where I live, I have almost nothing in proximity. It's a lot easier to save money here, however, I find the grocery cost is a lot more expensive here than in Montreal, especially for vegetables, oranges, clementines... Lately, I had been craving for turkey. Is there any better mix than cranberries and turkey? My favorite turkey is Butterball. I was shopping for groceries with my old folks and I was quite shocked at the price of one turkey.


One Flamingo turkey is being priced $45! Guess what, I didn't see anyone buying turkey while I was there... I haven't been able to satisfy my turkey craving. I could pay $45 for a turkey, but I won't. It's against my principle. Nobody is buying those turkeys, at a point, they'll need to reduce the price to clear some off their shelves. I am waiting :-)

Welcoming a net worth of $327,061.62 to begin the month of November











So far, we are having a really nice autumn season in New Brunswick.

The TSX closed the month of October on a high note. I was quite curious to find where I was standing with everything so I figure it was a good time to update my investment portfolio. My net worth closed this past Friday's session at $327,061.62. The first time I ever reached a 327k net worth must have been sometime in September 2021. 

Today, the TSX closed the day on a high note, leaving me with an increase of over $1,000 for my stock portfolios. My non-registered portfolio closed today's session at $140,961.96, my US portfolio at $5,020.17, my RRSP stocks-only portfolio at $57,995.15, and my TFSA portfolio at $120,766.94. I think my non-registered portfolio has everything it needs to move into the $150,000. We are now missing less than 500 points before hitting back the old 20,000 points. Everything is possible.

I am now missing $34,380.80 before getting back to my highest net worth value, which used to be exactly $361,442.42 back in April 2022. Lately, many stocks I own came with some good financial news. Telus Corporation (T) came with very strong financial results and on top of that good news, Telus increased their dividend distribution. Cargojet Inc. (CJT) also came with good results. Savaria Corporation (SIS) had surpassed $200M in revenue for the first time. CNR also had good news. Some of my stocks will be reporting their quarterly results on November 9. Thanks to Telus, The equivalent of what can be considered my monthly dividend income coming from my non-registered and TFSA portfolios is just a penny shy away from $830.

I have a few dollars at my disposal to make a little investment in my US, TFSA, and RRSP portfolios. I haven't figured out what to invest in yet. For now, I am just looking forward to increase the amount I currently have in savings. I am working hard to control my spending, but it's quite easier here than in Montreal. My only major expense is gas, when we go hunting. But that expense alone can be quite costly. I have $52 left to cover my extras for this week, which may go directly into gas... I am working on a tight budget, but I always have room to go over if needed.

Otherwise, life is pretty easy here in New Brunswick.

 

Thank you
