I am having a bit a trouble with my non-registered portfolio. It closed this past Frday session at $182 006.15. My fabulous PBH closed at $116 per share - which hurt inside my portfolio value. My TFSA portfolio closed at 75 788.40, and my RRSP (stocks only as always) $37 908.89. PBH is making it quite difficult to hit on the oh so wanted $230 000 net worth. It hard to believe that time is passing by so fast - we almost the end of May, and June will be coming in a hurry and in case you didn't notice, I will be turning 38 in 3 months. It would be nice to have at leats a 230k by that time.
Currently, my obssession is to find another great stock as great as my WSP one. Can I possibly do that?
I registered to CraveTV a few days ago and I just finished watching The Wizard of Lies with Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer. The movie is about the Bernard Madoff story. I knew the big lines about the affair, I knew that one of his sons had committed suicide and that his wife was still living, but I didn't know much other than that. I have never been interested in learning more about this sad story. It shocked me every time whenever a financial fraud is being committed. And there'S so many of them! I am under the impression that The Wizard of Lies is being really close to the real events. De Niro is as always really great and I actually didn't even recognize Michelle Pfeiffer, absolutely amazing in the role of Madoff wife. Did you know that the Royal Bank of Canada (RY) had lost $40.4 million Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities? From quick searches, it seems to be the only Canadian institution being directly involved with Madoff but there could be more. Maybe some didn't get disclosed. Anyhow, in the case of RY, it seems like the millions lost a couple years ago didn't affect their affairs that much. RY recently announced - once again - really good financial results and beat up market expectations with a 9% profit. Did being said, it's with those types of scandalous affairs that you get to learn to manage your own money by your own needs. Not that it's actually that easy to be a self-made investor, but when you can make it on your own, it's rewarding. However, from the moment you place your really first investment in the stock market, your life never remains the same. Because it's not enough to be working full-time, on top of that, you need to take care of the everyday market shit. But a girl needs to do what she needs to do. Some days are harder than others, and some days are easier. My stocks always remain in my mind and little that I knew back then when I made my first investments about 10 years ago that investment and the whole stock market deal would have become a big part of my life. Because the stock market is now an easy place to be. There are always millions of insecurities and currently, North Korea is one, NAFTA is another one, and so on. The financial world never stops turning around, for the better or the worst. Knowing how many problems we are having to close an interesting NAFTA deal, I am really concern about Justin Trudeau turning his back on Chinese over the Aecon deal. Trudeau is doing a big mistake. If Trudeau would be smart enough, he would have accepted Aecon deal. We are in deep need of new financial partners and China could do the thing. But Justin Trudeau is too childish and irresponsible to understand the extreme necessity of new financial partnerships. It's an emergency. We cannot rely on the USA anymore. This being said: never trust anyone when it comes to your money, neither a financial firm, or the government. No place is safe because dummies reside in both places. However, I know the perfect source of information that is always fair and in which you can trust. You can follow the link right here and dinner will be serve. Always.
I should have posted a portfolio update this past weekend, but I didn't take the time. I was in certainly the $226 000 net value+. I could have easily reached the 230k net worth, only if my belove Premium Brands Holdings Corporation (PBH) would have stayed on the $120 value per share. As my portfolio gain in value, it's getting easier and easier to mark points and in result, my net worth naturally increase in value, with really little efforts coming from my part. Everything is simple and easy when that good old TSX decided its time to be super fresh and snob.
Today wasn't a too bad day, my non-registered portfolio closed the session at $182 856.98, my glorious TFSA portfolio closed at $75 654.24, and the RRSP (stocks only) closed at $37 708.31.
As much as I love in deep my Premium Brand Holdings Corporation (PBH) shares for the simple and good reason that I got super rich just my holding this baby in my portfolio. But these days, I am just wondering if PBH love me as much in return. Its really hard to see my favorite baby going lower than the $120 per share. However, a little correction is not bad as it seem. It mean that the stock is alive and trading on the TSX.
I do hold many stocks in my portfolio and I understand it can be seem as confusing at first. However I don't have any major problems to follow any of them. Some of them had been in my portfolio since the early beginning 10 years ago. I have my old time favorite: like BNS, CSW.A, MX, NFI, SAP, FTS, PPL, ENF, KBL, TRP - those are all super great Canadian stocks to hold inside a portfolio. But among the way, I add up multiple other stocks inside my portfolio and it pay off.
Among the recent new comers that been $$$ in the most recent years,I made some nice discovery on a site that is barely known in Canada: Stockopedia.
Learn more about Stockopedia and all the good in can bring to your portfolio AND your net worth:
It seem like I am the only single blogger in Canada using and knowing Stockopedia and its a shame. Its in Stockopedia screens that I found stocks that I couldn't imagine myself without now: Park Lawn Corporation (PLC), Richards Packaging Income Fund (RPI.UN), CAE Inc. (CAE), CGI Group Inc. Class A Subordinate Voting Shares (GIB.A), Northland Power Inc. (NPI) and WSP Global Inc. (WSP).
In June of this year, WSP will be celebrating its first birthday in my portfolio. Within a year, WSP Global Inc. (WSP) registered a capital gain of 29.42% inside my non-registered portfolio - and that doesn't even include its dividend distribution.
I am aware that I already hold many stocks in my portfolio, but I believe that I can still make other great discoveries on Stockopedia that will pay off on the long run and of course, I will always be here and sharing with my favorite readers in case its happen you had problem to figure out which stocks are among the best you can possibly get out there. To make smart decisions, you need to be able to recognize and feel - which I now considered myself an expert at - and not necessarely understand. But my shame is to do it for free, without getting nothing in return other than knowing that I am the simply best. Aphria Inc. (APH) is actually just there in my portfolio to show off some humility, but I believe it can hit its old $24 value - its just a matter of time. I cannot make bad investment choices, I am just too smart for that. End of the discussion.
So let's go WSP Global Inc. (WSP) make your mommy proud and beat my expectations. Go go go!
Each and every new day on the stock market is a new day full of hope and a new day is always a new hope to beat up my previous very good results on the TSX. My BMO stocks are already been transferred over my TFSA. That's why my non-registered closed lower today, at $186 774.65. I decided that today was a good day to finalize my TFSA contribution for 2018. I had still left a 3k available in contribution room, but not anymore. I proceed today with a contribution in kind using Canadian Utilities Limited (CU) and Choice Properties Real Estate Investment Trust (CHP.UN), both should be in my TFSA soon.
Following what, I just have a few hundred as contribution room left, but I am done with my TFSA portfolio, at least for this year. Job did!

I’m a proud French Canadian from New Brunswick with a passion for investing. On August 5, 2009, I hit a major milestone: reaching $50,000 in investment assets. This initial achievement was just the beginning of a lifelong journey toward financial independence. My ultimate aim isn’t necessarily early retirement but rather the freedom to live comfortably, achieve my goals, and enjoy financial peace of mind. Every journey starts with a first step, and for me, that was my first $50,000. Feel free to reach out and say hello at myfirst50000 (at) yahoo.ca—I’d love to connect!
