Rogers Communications Inc. (RCI.B) closed today session on a fantastic gain of 11.557%!

Bring it on baby! I wasn't expecting this, especially coming from Rogers Communications Inc. (RCI.B), but I am please to take on those great gains. I wasn't really impress by all the drama surrounding the takeover of Cogeco, and it makes me dislike Rogers. I wonder what Ted Rogers would had think of all the hot mess. I don't like the idea of that deal because it involved an investor base in the US. No Americans should have a direct involvement in our Canadian media. Today, Telus Corp (T) also registered a nice gain, not an 11%, but a 2.472% is still welcome. Inside my TFSA portfolio, Rogers Communications Inc. (RCI.B) is on a gain of +5.47%.

I am currently listening to the presidential debate. Kristen Welker is doing a great job as a moderator. This debate is better than the first one for sure. It's been a tight fight and in my point of view, for this second debate, I don't find a specific winner. I would like to say that Joe Biden was better, but it's not exactly the case.

My non-registered portfolio closed today session at $103,110.97, my TFSA portfolio at $93,926.07, and my RRSP portfolio - stocks only - at $50,273.90.

Goodbye credit line debt!

It's now official, my only debt of the moment is my margin, which is currently at $47,155.42.

My non-registered portfolio closed this past Friday session on a good $103,304.86, my TFSA portfolio at $95,280.54 and my RRSP portfolio - stocks only - at $50,529.82. I currently have $434 in cash in my TFSA portfolio. It was quite a nice autumn weekend in Montreal.

I decided it was time to pay down my credit line, so I did because I was feeling tired of always having to think about paying it down. But in result, I now have little in savings. My next thing now is to build back up my savings, and this time around, I am surprisingly a bit more ambitious, but we'll see how far I can go without falling. I may place a few investments here in there when I can. I would like to have at least a good $10,000, an even better, 15k cash in savings. I didn't have $10k in savings for a really long time. And the best time to do it for me is now. This pandemic is going to last for at least another year and this is just the perfect timing to save, save and save. It's just too strange to have a portfolio worth in the 220k, and just to have 2k in in savings. I hope to fix that problem in the next couple months. If I really work into it, I could save 15k in less than a year, and I would like to do so. For now, I starting with a goal of 3k, in order to avoid any banking fees.

On this last note, two of my stocks had closed this past Friday session on great gains:

Northland Power Inc. (NPI): 2.52%

CAE Inc. (CAE): 2.02%

Bad day for Aphria Inc. (APH)

The TSX closed today session in the 16 500 points. My non-registered portfolio closed today session at $103,510.75, my TFSA portfolio at $94,945.75, and my RRSP portfolio - stocks only - at $50,413.56. My TFSA portfolio is super close to the $95k value right now, which is quite great. The more grow, the better.

We are all really lucky because Susan Brunner just posted a list of the best stocks that she followed. There's a lot of stocks that I already have in my portfolio in that list. I am going to check it out closely. I am currently working at paying down my credit line, which I will be able to do by the end of month. After that, I want to put back an at least $3,000 balance in my bank account, to avoid any future banking fees and after that, I would like to invest in my TFSA portfolio - or do a new contribution in kind by picking a stock in my non-registered portfolio and have it transferred in my TFSA portfolio. I miss investing on a regular basis. While doing so, I would also like to pay down my margin from time to time.

Other than that, it's been a bad day Aphria Inc. (APH). I listen to both Joe Biden and Trump exchange with their electors. Biden was for me the best performer, always calm and go in the deep in his answers. Trump sometimes don't always answer the questions in a direct and sincere way. I think Joe Biden will be the best choice for the US. Biden is more clear in his speech and more presidential. This evening was really important and now, the true colors of the candidate had been exposed. This one had played in favor of Biden, in my opinion, in case you care. lol 

Easy money-saving tip to help save close to $20 per month and maybe even more

I hope you had all a good Thanksgiving. This is the first Thanksgiving in a really long time that I had spent not being in New Brunswick. Just to make things worst, the hunting season was just been absolutely amazing this year in New Brunswick. My father killed a massive big moose early in the hunting season - which is unusual. Mooses are not of an easy hunting. In my life, I saw mooses only two times (but keep in mind that I never stay for the whole hunting season in New Brunswick, only a few days each year).

Also, partridges can be easily seen a bit everywhere, as well as deers. I remember years when partridges were really difficult to hunt, as there seem like there wasn't much of them in the woods. Well, those days seem to be over. Basically, 2020 was the year for hunters and I miss it thanks to COVID. Around Thanksgiving, for the past several years, I always been able to take a few vacation days and it's always been the best time ever to be able to go home at that time of the year. Because going hunting is way too much exciting!

The TSX is still on a good shape, closing the day on 16,468.80 points. Anywhere in the 16 000 points is quite a really good place, knowing that we are still in the middle of a worldwide pandemic. My non-registered portfolio closed today session at $102,940.36, my TFSA portfolio at $94,231.08 and my RRSP portfolio stocks only at $50,014.38. 

Today, a stock that I had been holding on for a really long time in my non-registered portfolio, Methanex Corporation (MX), gains 3.91% today. It's been a rocky road for MX, but I am still on a good position on this stock, and that being because MX had been in my portfolio for a really long time.

And now, on how to easily save $30 per month, that's quite easy: go for a cell plan that is lower in data, that way, you'll save certainly close to $20 per month. Now that we are spending more time at home, it doesn't worth it to have a cell phone plan high on data. I did that switch, and now I only have a 1 Go data plan, for $35 unlimited talk & text within Canada. I am with Chatr.
