My net worth is now close to the $230 000 value

Recently, many of my stocks had increased their dividend distribution: Lassonde Inc. (LAS.A), Canadian Apartment Properties Real Estate Investment Trust (CAR.UN), Loblaw Companies (L), Pembina Pipeline Corporation (PPL), TMX Group Inc. (X) and Boralex Inc. Class A Shares (BLX). Today, it was the turn of Hydro One Limited (H) to increase its dividend distribution. With all of those increases, my annual dividend income (excluding RRSP, like always), is now at a good $8 571.73. This is getting quite interesting because I am getting closer to the 12k in annual dividend - which for me will be the breaking point in term of dividend income, just like the 300k net worth is my must-have of the moment.

While exceeding the 16 000 points, my TSX is making me really happy. I currently estimate my net worth to be very very close to the $230 000 value. A day like today was perfect. However, I got scared when my love stock Premium Brands Holdings Corporation (PBH) suddenly went down from $120 to $110 per share for no obvious reasons. Investors can be so big suckers. Selling PBH? Such a bad move. Don't be a dumb ass like the Quebecker Jean-François Tardif of JFT Strategies Fund (JFS.UN) or you won't have what it take to recognize a good investment from a bad one and you'll have to deal with no positive returns. I love bitching about Tardif because while I am on top, JFS.UN is giving absolutely nothing back in term of value to their investors. Actually, Tardif has the same intelligence of any Quebeckers, and that being: NONE.

Ahah! Poor poor baby! BANG! In your pretty face, now all destroyed. Wish me the same, wish me bad returns, and just watch it going exactly in the opposite direction. Because no one have any control over me and I am just too good at this investment game. I can't be better. And I won't even try.

Other than PBH, Nutrien Ltd. (NTR) made interesting gains, even Aphria Inc. (APH) registered some gains and I am quite sure that APH is going to hit on its old $20 value sooner or later. With all of that good stuff, my non-registered portfolio decided to close today session at $189 024.98. Since I still had over 5k in TFSA contribution, I decided to take my BMO Bank of Montreal (BMO): shares inside my non-registered portfolio and have them transferred over my TFSA. I now only have left a contribution room of $3 385. We are slowly getting there. Without my BMO shares, my TFSA portfolio closed the session at $70 482, which its highest value ever registered.

I am currently having a hard crush on:

LGT.B or A

CYB

CIGI

With Spring comes new friends

Check out my new furry friend that wake me up early in the morning these days... that's him... Little bird, but loud little voice... But so cute! Adorable little happy angel making sure that mommy wake up early in the morning! I like to open my back door and listen to the little birds playing around.

I was sicked for the past couple days, but please don't tell my old folks in New Brunswick because I didn't tell them, so they won't worry for nothing. I was sicked for a good 48 hours. Its started with heavy feaver, which make me checked if the heat of my apartment was on.. I mean I never have fever in my adult life, I just didn't knew what I had. I am never sick, so what was going on? But after, I start having muscle pain and I was feeling weak, I couldn't beat the feeling. I went to bed early, wake up, eat (but I shoudln't!!!!), went back to bed, and...... when I wake up... it was insane.... I will avoid all graphic details, but I visit my toilet many many times during the night, almost every hour and when there was nothing left inside of me to expell... I started shaking, I was really really cold. I never felt that bad before. However, 48 hours later, all good, pretty is back to normal. And no more shit is inside of me! I am clean from inside and out.

!!!

In French, its name the gastro. Well, I got the gastro for the first time of my life. And its the first time in a really long time that got so badly sick.

I didn't suffer for nothing. I lost 7 pounds in the process within 48 hours... WOW. 

But I felt really weaked following that. I could barely clean up the mess, but I did. I have too!

And to reward myself I wnt to a shopping trip at Simons (new bath rug was needed, do I have to explain why???)

Anyhow, all this being said, if you get the gastro, you'll feel like you are about to die, but you'll survive.

During that time of in deep suffering, my TSX was performing quite well. This is God trying to make up to me. I am not suppose to get sick. Its hard to take. Its an insult to my ego.

Welcome in my non-registered portfolio Choice Properties Real Estate Investment Trust (CHP.UN)!

It was an amazing day in Montreal, very warm temperature and for the very first time of the year, I went on the Mont-Royal, and it was quite nice. It changes from the daily gym routine.

 

With a TSX now being so close of the 16 000 points, I am now a bit more confident, I may have after all my chance to hit on a $300 000 by the end of the year after all! I got really excited today as I saw the TSX closing on 15 910.81 points. And oh surprise, my net worth is about $225 310 right now. It will be a good fight for the next couple months but I am pretty sure I can easily make it to the $250 000 without too many problems.

One of my most recent investment, Canadian Real Estate Investment Trust (REF.UN) is no longer trading on the TSX. To compensate, I received a mix of cash and some Choice Properties Real Estate Investment Trust (CHP.UN) brand new stocks. This is quite nice because now, the usage of my margin is reduced to $98 023.48. But unfortunately, during the process, my dividend income had been reduced of $19.20. Nothing significant. The best thing I am getting out of this Choice Properties Real Estate Investment Trust (CHP.UN) is a nice reduction of my margin, which I am looking forward to decreasing.

Good news regarding Quebecor Inc. - yesterday, they announced a 100% increase of their dividend.

My net worth is now of $222 850.15

I made a couple of fun discoveries this weekend only by updating my portfolio. I updated it because I knew that with a pretty TSX exceeding the 15 700 points, I knew it too much, I was going to be on top of my game, and so was I. I had reached my highest value ever back in December 2017. So far for 2018, I haven't been able to exceed that value. But with this past Friday good results, I finally exceed my highest value ever of December 2017, which was a net worth of $221 989.65. This past Friday, my net worth reached $222 850.15. And now I am probably higher than that because my non-registered portfolio closed today session at $187 722.09. My TFSA and RRSP portfolios also closed on a higher value also today.

For the first time in a really long time, my margin account usage is lower than $100 000. My margin account is now at $99 629.08. I am now finally experiencing a capital gain with Parkland Fuel Corp (PKI) - which didn't happen in quite sometime. While celebrating all those good things going on, my belove New Brunswick province is suffering from the consequences of a heavy spring flood. It was unfortunately predictable, we had a lot of snow this winter and when I came visiting for Easter, there was still a lot of snow. I am praying for the water to stop raising.

My very latest investment, Calian Group Ltd. (CGY) gained 1.19% inside my TFSA portfolio.
