I am very lucky not to wake up with the flue because it was raining for New Year Eve in Montreal and I didn't have an umbrella. But who will carry an umbrella in January anyway? Some did, but they must had take a look at the weather forecast - something I barely ever do. You'll find in here some pictures I took from my iPod on New Year Eve. I was in Montreal in the Old Port.
Another year had come to an end. Overall, 2010 had been a good year for my commodity investment. I work like crazy, but I was able to made all the commodity investment I wanted and that's what was important to me, despite a laid off from the worst Canadian bank ever, BMO Bank of Montreal (BMO). They are disgusting, I know. And their online commodity broker BMO InvestorLine is absolutely horrible. I wasn't expecting much anyway coming from a Quebec provincial bank, an emigrant bank. And by the way, don't expect anything good from Quebeckers. 2011 will be just the same as 2010 for Quebec people: a black hole.
Ok, I got laid off from BMO Bank of Montreal (BMO) in 2010. Despite the laid off, I can assure you, I am a good investor and below is the proof. I took all of my commodity investment in this review - there's a lot of them as you'll see. I took all of them. but all of those investments were not made in 2010. My online investment in some RBC growth stock mutual funds were made somewhere in 2007-2008. Same thing for my Manulife investment. Anyhow, I wanted to take the whole monster and see where I am located in all that. Let's see how things went for the Dividend Girl online investing in 2010:

Overall, I can say I did well. I invest without the help of any financial planners. but while living in Quebec, I prefer to invest just through my fabulous TD Waterhouse securities as online future trading brokerage. A gain of 7 518.45$ in one year of Canadian online stock trading? From my point of view, for a small investor like myself, I can say I did pretty well. And 2011 should be even better. But remember 2010 had been an investment year in a recession one. Not easy for anyone, but even harder for smaller investors.
To all of my fellow readers, Quebeckers or not, I wish you a Happy 2011 Trading Year! Health and prosperity to you all. May my blog be helpful to you by sharing my trading experience on the Toronto stock exchange market.
