Truth, dare, double dare, promise, or repeat. Repeat, repeat and repeat

I just know how to repeat, nothing else.

I am not able to check on the value of my stocks right now, but one thing is for sure, my net worth is probably exceeding the 222k at this time. Back in August 2018, I was on my highest net worth value ever: in the $232 600. Now that I am 222k, I am not far behind that 232k. If the TSX can continue on its golden road, I may be in business to even exceed the 232k value. Something like 3 years separates my first $100 000 from my first $200 000 net worth. I had been stuck in the 200k net value since 2018, and I already have enough. I had been thinking on my past road, on the way I picked my stocks in the past. I often invest in stocks while they had been trading at their highest value – and it actually never been a mistake. 

Good quality stocks often trade at their highest value, it's ok to hit in when the time has come. It may not be the best timing in term of trading – got to buy low, sell high right – but sometimes, you need to abstract yourself from the regular figures and from the traditional financial blablabla. You need to welcome high-quality stocks in your portfolio whenever it pleases you, to then welcome them in your life and love them so much that you can’t no longer exist without them. Without that special stock, your life has just no meaning. And you get to love those stocks so much that your love protects them from all the market upside down.

If, by any chance, those stocks trade lower at one point and that you are lucky enough to buy at that special time – that’s even better. But occasions don’t present themselves all the time. And for people like me who are living paycheck per paycheck and who are extremely cash poor (because you’re an addict and trash all your money over the stock market), it could be even more difficult to enjoy such opportunities. In the past, I never wait long before investing in stocks that I had crushes on.

When I want a stock, I want it.

And this is why the experience needs to repeat itself every time. Got to target a good stock, jump in when you can and keep doing the same damn thing over and over again, again and again.

In the previous post, I expose a few stocks I had my eyes on. Currently, the only stock I want is Brookfield Asset Management Inc. Class A Limited Voting Shares (BAM.A). WPK is nice but it’s not powerful enough. Once again, history is repeating itself, I am soon about to invest in a stock that is trading in its highest value ever. It’s not my fault, BAM.A just got everything I need to boost up right into the stars my net worth.

But now, are you just ready for it?

YESSS! The TSX is now in the 16 400 points - and even exceeding it!

That's it! It looks like I am getting my Eastern gift right on time before leaving Montreal behind for the belove New Brunswick for a couple of days! But this is not a from me-to-me, it's a gift I am getting directly from the TSX. My non-registered portfolio closed today session lower, at $125 478.69, but I am experiencing what I think might be my new highest value ever for my TFSA portfolio, $71 057.31. My RRSP stocks only portfolio closed the day at $42 905.19.

My net north is now at $222 942.87

It's nice to see the TSX hitting in the 16 400 points direction! In those great times, I estimated my net worth to be in the $223 000, an increase of $6 000 compare to March 1th at the time of my last portfolio update. My non-registered portfolio closed this past Friday session at $125 877.48, my TFSA portfolio at $70 941.14, my RRSP portfolio - stocks only at and my US only stock portfolio at $3 283.41 US. I just had posted an update of my portfolio update, and I was almost right! My current net worth is now at $222 942.87, not too bad. I had posted the portfolio update earlier today.

Another good thing I did this afternoon is paying my federal and provincial taxes for 2018. The amount was quite sustainable, almost $2 000 all mix together. But this is really nothing. In 2018, my income had been in the $70 000. I wanted this to be taking care of now before my vacations in New Brunswick, which are coming in a hurry and I can't wait. Spring is giving me an energy boost. Winter had been rough and the warmer weather is quite nice. I spent a big part of my Sunday afternoon browsing the screens of Stockopedia. Sometimes, I can search for stocks on Stockopedia, but for a reason or another, I won't find anything interesting. But today was quite good, a few stocks came my way.

Here's the result of my today browsing on Stockopedia. Consider this as a "first draft", not as a final serious list of potential stocks to invest in. I have highlighted in yellow the stocks that I feel that could eventually be a good fit for my portfolio:

Ag Growth International Inc. (AFN)
Viemed Healthcare, Inc. (VMD)
PFB Corporation (PFB)
Brookfield Asset Management Inc. Class A Limited Voting Shares (BAM.A)
GDI Integrated Facility Services Inc. Subordinate Voting Shares (GDI)
Waste Connections Inc. (WCN)
Killam Apartment Real Estate Investment Trust (KMP.UN)
Great Canadian Gaming Corporation (GC)
Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. Class B Subordinate Voting Shares (ATD.B)
Magna International Inc. (MG)
West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd. (WFT)
Medical Facilities Corporation (DR)
Middlefield Healthcare & Wellness Dividend Fund (HWF.UN)
Empire Company Limited Non-Voting Class A Shares (EMP.A)
SmartCentres Real Estate Investment Trust (SRU.UN)
Tricon Capital Group Inc. (TCN)
Winpak Ltd. (WPK)
Hardwoods Distribution Inc. (HDI)
Newgrowth Corp. Class A Capital Shares (NEW.A)
WPT Industrial Real Estate Investment Trust (WIR.U)
Valener Inc. (VNR)
First National Financial Corporation (FN)
Gildan Activewear Inc. (GIL)
Kirkland Lake Gold Ltd. (KL)

I had invested in ATD.B in the past, so I won't be investing in it again. Currently, Winpak Ltd. (WPK) has all my attention. I wouldn't like to invest in some REIT or financial stocks at this time.
