Job searching for the money

I work on my French resume and I probably begin my job search right today. I wake up early today! It’s currently 8:38AM… I might be very motivated by something…. Might be the money lol. I need cash to bring some 100 units of BRC.UN in my portfolio. I want those!

Yesterday, JE.UN close at 13.98$ when I had purchased 200 units at 13.84$. I made a little profit right here in just in a day. I am happy that all those transactions are now over. Feeling better now, but it make me laugh because since I sell, PGF.UN price continue to rise… until 10.71$. I could had made an extra 475$ in profit if I would had sell at that price but anyway, I will say that life not just all about money. I guess some other investors might had done the same thing as myself.

I cannot wait for tonight to come, as I am expecting a big paycheck of at least 1 100$. After what, tomorrow I will be able to pay off my RBC credit card, a major part of my CIBC Visa and maybe just the minimum payment for my TD Visa. I will pay as much as I can, but I need to keep 200$ in my pocket for my next month as I don’t know if there’s overtime available.

I saw colleagues of mine who really have enough of that job as their vacations had been refused. I never asked for vacation and I am close to the 2 000$ in vacations pay. I would like to cash in the money – or leave the vacations money there until I leave and cash it out… But at a point, I feel I might need, someday, those vacations lol.

Anyway for now, what I have enough is that there is no ventilation and its smell and its too hot. But most of the time, its relatively ok. For now, I am job searching. I would like to find something in my field and if not well, I will continue the way I am.

I just purchase 200 units of JE.UN at 13.89$

For this purchase, I had to modify my order from for the limit of 13.89$. I just purchase 200 new units of Just Energy Income Fund (JE.UN).

My investment portfolio currently worth 26 441.55$.

So I finally made it. I save my annual dividend income and its really great.

As for the rest, I am tired. Yesterday at work, they hd begin to change the whole call center carpet while we were still in there. It was smelling glue! What an horror. Just what we need to get intoxicated. And here am I this morning, feeling not so bad, but I just want my bed.

I also sell LIV.UN earlier today

And everything went well. I sell my 102 units of Livingston International Income Fund (LIV.UN) at 6.55$ per unit. I didn’t get any extra fees for selling 102 and not 100 units, which I am pretty happy.

More about PGF.UN

As you can imagine, while at work, I quickly check for the value of PGF.UN. And… to my surprise, it’s up to 10.71$! Of course, if I would had known, I would had wait to sell my units of PGF.UN. But still, I was able to make a profit from my sell and personally, I wasn’t too happy about fact that PGF.UN are cutting again their distribution, second time since a couple of months. For nothing in the world I regret my sell of PGF.UN. No one can predict how the market will be. In this case, I was very surprises to see PGF.UN increase today as a dividend cut of 30% had been announced by the company this last Friday.

On Friday, I was very upset, because everything was working so fine. It’s seem like I can never take a complete rest. I was receiving an average of 65$ per month. PGF.UN was my main dividend contributor. I really like PGF.UN. But with our dividend goal of our, I prefer to sell. I do not regret the sell because at the time, on the moment, it seems to be the best thing to do. Probably PGF.UN will gain in value again in the future, but enough is enough, I have enough of distribution cut. And Livingston International Income Fund (LIV.UN) is no longer from my portfolio, same thing for PGF.UN and I am pretty happy about it.

Nothing happen for nothing…

I had prepared myself a check for CIBC Visa of the amount of 350$, a couple of days ago. But I never went at the CIBC to make the deposit because in the last couple of days, I wake up late all the time. And thank God I did! If it wouldn’t be of that extra 350$ available, I wouldn’t be able to place my next order for Just Energy Income Fund (JE.UN). Now, I just have enough to cover 200 units of Just Energy Income Fund (JE.UN). And I will have a little left over to cover the minimum payment on my credit line.

I just placed a purchase order of 200 units of Just Energy Income Fund (JE.UN) at the highest price of 13.85$. I hope my order will go smoothly and that I will find my purchase order completed when I wake up.

So it’s seemed like everything turn for the best for now. Let’s take it one thing at the time. I felt a lot better today, once I wake up before leaving for work. At a point, it was a lot of stress for me as it was my first real sell experience and it went well.

Again, some dividend calculations

Again:

Our current dividend gains so far: 1 466.96$ +

From our new PIF.UN units (300 units): 39$ x 3 months left:

November-December 2009 = 117$
From our new JE.UN units (200 units of tomorrow): 20.66$ x 3 months left:

November-December 2009 = 61.98$

Our current 1 466.96$ + 117$ + 61.98$ = 1 645.94$ by the end of December 2009. Not bad at all. For 2010, we should received around 2 182.96$ in annual dividend earnings. And since we are enroll to a DRIP to all of our investment, we can easily add a 100$ on top of that. Which will make 2 282.96$, for an average of 190$/per month. Really not bad!

I am just hoping that in the meantime, JE.UN and PIF.UN and all the others I have in my investment portfolio will continue to pay dividend.

Some left over…

This is very hilarious and funny situation. Today, we sell all of our 650 units of PGF.UN. Nothing new here. But we are still eligible to receive PGF.UN dividend for this month. Since we were unroll on a DRIP, we will received new units of PGF.UN, probably 5 or 6 new units that will be add to our portfolio while no PGF.UN units are currently in there. See, because we sell after the record date, we are eligible to received PGF.UN dividend for the month of October. Since we didn’t cancel the DRIP before the record date well, we will receive some units – in units form – in our awesome portfolio. I had the confirmation coming from TD. This is not bothering me at all, just I would have preferred to receive the money in cash but I am not the one who fixes the rules… This is going to look crazy in our portfolio. But this is a sign – our relation with PGF.UN is not over yet. Guess I will invest more in PGF.UN in the future. Just that we have dividend goal, see. Going to bed now, if I wake up early enough to do my stuff, might be able to go to the movies.

My new investment: 300 units of PIF.UN

I just purchase 300 units of PIF.UN at 15.21$. Not so bad. Now, I am completely exhuasted and work at 4. For other sell or purchase, I am going to wait tomorrow.

Stress around PGF.UN

Initial investment of PGF.UN: 6 284.57$. I just wake up (at 10:00AM...) you can imagine I wake up all in stress. Like this weekend had been the worst of my live. I was very stress about seeing Pengrowth cutting their dividend distribution. I am very proud of this sell. And watch this out: I was able to sale an make 6 536$ after commission. And even in recession times, I was able to make a nice profit of 251.43$, which cover the cost of my next 2 investments.

TD Waterhouse tools work great, I was able to sell Pengrowth this morning and I didn't want to go lower than 9.70$ - and I sell even at a higher price.

For next time, when come time to sell, I won't stress that much now that I know that well, the whole system seem to be working. Now let's sell LIV.UN.... or see what we are going to do next... Happy times. My first sell of units and it was today, October 5th, 2009. Coincidence? Remember what happen on August 5th? I reach my first 50 000$ in investment.

Going crazy over selling my stocks

I just confirm, my PGF.UN selling should go through. The lowest I put my sell is at 9.70$. If my any chance, PGF.UN goes at 10$ tomorrow morning, the order will go through at 10$ - and lowest at 9.70$... I just cancel my sell order for LIV.UN because I think the price can go higher than wha it is right now. My sell order for DNI still on.

I am exhausted, going to bed now, will try to wake up for 9am so I can connect to my account right in time for 9:30am... I hope my selling of PGF.UN will go through. I cannot wait to see the opening price of PGF.UN tomorrow.
