Blue Note Mining all the way

It’s seemed like my problem with computer partly resolve, so I quite enjoy my evening. And I am quite all proud of myself and with my Blue Note Mining pick. The share jumping from 0.055 cents to 0.07 cents. Which made a profit of 180$, which is more than what I earn in a near 13 hours of work per day.

For now, I keep the stocks, I won’t sale for 180$, knowing it cost me 29$ to invest in those stocks, and it will probably cost me the same thing to sale them.

I just hope things continue to keep rolling and going……

I really like what I read about Blue Note in the following paragraph. The most interesting for me was this specific part:

“We just need metals prices to improve and this mine will kick off lots of cash," said Michael Judson, Blue Note's President and CEO”

And when I read “Caribou”, it’s just making me laugh, like hey, I know Restigouche, Caribou and all those tinny little places. That’s back home, even if I am not exactly from there!

Rock on New Brunswick.

Summer time is almost over

Now summer is almost over and I didn't see too much of it. But it was quite an exciting time as I just purchase my first stocks, but the fun stop there. Or almost, as I make a lot of fun of myself -me with my 3 low paying jobs, working 7 days a week - how don't know how many hours. I believe that when the time will come, I will do something else. But earning money is quite bad as I just want more and more of it.

I quite enjoy TD Waterhouse now that I am all set up with them. It's quite unfortunate the things that happen previous, but their online system is very easy to use and I really enjoy purchasing stocks by myself. For the first transaction, the Sprott Asset Management stocks, I purchase them over the phone, for the rest, I did everything online, except for the mutual funds of Sprott, which I purchase over the phone, since it was done without any fees.

I would just like to purchase stocks from a bank - from TD, as I read they are the one who are the least affect by the credit crisis we are in. I would had care about Rogers stock, but I still don't know.

I didn't calculate the overall value of my investments, as I believe I had lost money here and there again. But it doesn't matter, as I am ready to lose money - but I want to gain as twice more. I really had faith in the Blue Note Mining. It's kind of a lovely name for a mine and I read things around and the things is it's a good company to invest in. As soon as the price of zinc will start raising, the big cash will come and I might be finally be done with my student debts. As soon as the share can just reach - one more time the 60 cents - I sale, and make $$$ and pay off some of those debts.

That's the plan.

About Blue Note Mining

Yesterday was my birthday, I am now 28 years old and I didn't reach my goal yet... But anyway, I quite happy to where I am at this point and I just hope things will just continue to improve for me.

Really lately, I purchase 12 000 stocks of Blue Note Mining, for no specific reasons, just I find accidentally the company by searching for the National Bank symbol (which is Banque Nationale in French - BN). What I find was quite interesting. Blue Note Mining has a mine of zinc near Bathurst in New Brunswick - which pick my interest because I am myself from New Brunswick. The investment cost me a near of 700$ in total, for 12 000 stocks.

And the fact that the cost of each share is super low interest me, and also the fact that earlier this year, the price reaches 65 cents or 60 cents per share... So if, by any chance, the share price can still reach the same 65 or 60 cents, I will be able to make a lot of money as I purchase each share at the price of 0.05 cents... Since I really don't have that money to invest, I find the possibility interesting and well, if I lost money, I won't lost that much, only 700 or 600$... But the share price is pretty stable, it goes around 5 cents to 0.055 cents.... and I don't understand how a share can reach 0.055 cents as 0.005 doesn't mean anything in Canadian money.

I still have a lot to learn I guess... ;)

100 more Timminco stocks

I just purchased an extra 100 stocks in Timminco, at the cost of 16.37$ per stock. I now had left around 800$ in my bank account... I just couldn't help it, I just wanted to purchase more stocks. Forget about paying my student loan.

I didn't calculate my overall income for quite a while now since I still have the problem with the Wireless of my laptop. Anyway, I spot that place where it's free to use the Internet, so I can still blog on my little activities. I just hope Timminco will turn well. If it can still reach that 22$ per share like it's once did, I will had make 600$ from the investment. I continue my search regarding Timminco, and what I learn was very positive and think Timminco stocks will just starting to rise in a not too far future. And not too elaborate too much on what I find, well, it was something like they had the contracts they needed and they just had to wait for the money to come in or something like that and for me it was just a buy buy buy comments... or from what I understood from it. I purchase Timminco knowing, again from what I understand, that Sprott sell part of their shares, and the reverse, Fidelity purchased Timminco... and me too lol. And it's hilarious, knowing I purchase 100 little shares. Well, I don't have that much money and now I am broke for the rest of the month lol.

I just kind of disappointed about my Sprott Asset Management stocks and there is no reasons why I had to loose money with the stocks like I did right now because from what I understand, they make 16 millions in profit for their last quarter, if the number is not correct, I know for sure they make some profits and now, a share that I pay 10$ now work less than 7$. But why? It's just doesn't make any sense.

At one of my job I had, I speak to someone who just pass his course to be a financial advisor or something like that and I ask him, just to chat around, why stocks were doing ups and downs all the time lol And than he explain that it was depending the temper of investors and also the news regarding the company, and so on. Like if everyone would just stop selling during bad things and keep holding like me, well, it could help, but just a bit, as he kept explaining to me, because it's not only the fault of investors. So I would like to say to people out there to stop selling Sprott shares. PLEASE.

On what to do next

I am still earnings good amount of money because of my 3 jobs and I am wondering what to do next. If I should keep investing like I was doing, in mutual stocks or funds, or should I strat just putting money away in the ING Direct account that I have or should I finally start to pay off more seriously those student debts that I have.

I had been thinking of all this lately and I am still interest in investing anyway, at least a final try if I can say. I would like some Bank of Nova Scotia stocks. If the market can get low enough, good opportunities will show up, just like it's the case with Rogers Communication right now.

It might be in my interest to save also for my incoming RRSP of 2008 but there still time ahead to save 7 000$. I was thinking that the period of December 2008 to mid-March 2009 to save the money and before that, I could basically do whatever I want with my savings until December.

It's very difficult to see all my value going away like that and I just hope things will get better and start making money from those investments.

Me and my little money

I am loosing money with crazy. My Timminco (TIM) drop from about 5$... Sprott Asset Management (SII) is now around 7$..... And I just don't want to think of the money I lost with my other investments, not to talk about my mutual funds and so on. And I just don't know the reason for all this. But I was kind of aware of the financial situation were in, but it's hurting me anyway. I didn't calculate my total value for quite a while now and I won't do so for a while, I am too scare too see hoe so little I have now.

Anyway, things are not so bad as I get back that morning job at a full part-time status like it was before. But now, I don't know if I can ever reach my 50 000$ by the end of the year. If it happen I am loosing too much because of my current investments, well, I could tell myself that I least, I have try... But the situation is not so bad as I can easily live without the money I had invest and all those were supposed to be for retirement anyway so I guess I will be able to catch up later on, but only if I don't get rid of the investment.

There's some overtime available at my day full-time job and it's the place where I should be right now, but I like do to other things than just working for money sometimes. I am kind in one of those strange mood as the weather isn't really nice and I had been reading one of those book, its call In the country of last things of Paul Auster is this is the kind of things you want to read when your loosing all your money in the stock market lol. I am kind of surprised; I can understand what it's all about. My English reading is improving.

Ups and downs

I didn't blog here since a long time. I am having problem with my laptop, which just doesn't want to go under the Wireless anymore and I am pretty upset about the whole situation, as I will probably have to pay a technician for this, since I am no longer living close to my brother, which could had take care of the job. I don't really need the Wireless, but its just I like to surf in cafe and now I cannot do anything.

And just to make things worst, I am loosing money like crazy with my investments. I just don't know what is going on, but its hurting my portfolio! I do not plan to sale anything, as always, I just keep everything but I would like to have the chance to make some money from my stocks and other. Like I was planning maybe to pay off a trip to New York or Toronto, or maybe both, since I never visited and I didn't travel for quite a time. But know, I don't think I will be able to do anything at all and it could happen I lost everything.

Two people get fired at my full-time day-time job. For once of them, I truly understand the reasons why he got fired and I was quite surprised he didn't get fire any time sooner. For the second one, it was actually the person I was having difficulties with, the one with VIH, she got fired too. But for her, I was quite surprised, as she was really good and her productivity has very high. And another person left, I don't know what happen to him. Anyway, things are pretty change.

I got a big emotional break down because of that job, not because of people I know get fired, but because I had set a fix work schedule with them and they didn't respect it. The problem was resolve at the end, but the night before it get resolve, I start crying in the middle of night and I try to calm myself as I need to wake up early at 6h45AM the next morning. I was desperate no to be able to combine my part-time job with my full-time job. But know its resolve. But I keep asking myself am I next on the people-to-be-soon fired? I take it one day at a time. I am always trying to do the best I can at work, even if its a low paying job. So we will see at the end what happen but I will be very sad if I get fired too. It's just an idea that is stock in my mind...

Just to make things worst, my part-time day job is cutting on in my hours, and not only for me, for a couple of others to. At least my weekend job is still ok for now. With all 3 jobs combines, I make almost 800$ weekly after taxes. And I just want it to continue like this. Everything was going on so well, and now, it's kind of going so-so and I am kind on getting a bit depressed by looking at my overall situation at work and at my investments.

I now have 100 Timminco stocks

I purchase other Timminco stocks this week. This time, I purchased them online, it was very easy to proceed, and it only cost be something like 27$. I purchase those stocks at 23.70$, which I believe was a good price for.

For the rest, the market is not super great at this time. I just can’t wait to make some big bucks from my Sprott Asset Management funds. So far, so good, since I am still working at my 3 jobs and I still making almost 800$ weekly. I am just looking to purchase more and more stocks and my next purchase could be Bank of Nova Scotia, but I will need at least 5 000$.

I don’t know too much on buying stocks, but I think the minimum per transaction is 100 stocks and Scotia stocks being not cheap, I might need at least 5 000$ before I can purchase them. I would like to purchase stocks that provide dividends. I was planning maybe to sell a couple of my non RBC mutual funds to purchase stocks.

Cleaning my banking account

I had most than 7 000$ in regular savings in my banking account. But the money is no longer there... I recently invest in stocks and mutul funds of Sprott Asset Management. It might be my last investments I will make for a while, since I don't have too much left in my banking account, barely enough to cover my expenses for next month. Anyway, I am pretty please with everything, except the service I receive from TD Waterhouse. I am getting a bit closer to my 50 000$. But it require so much work, I wonder if I ever could reach my goal.

I might be able to purchase other stocks by the end of August. For incoming project, there some investment I would like get rid off, but I don't want to lost the initial investment, so I am waiting.... but how long will I have to wait? Another one will be to have my credit check. And the last one to look around for stocks, for my next buy in August.

Another mutual fund....

I call TD yesterday to see if there was any fees related to the purchased of some units of the Sprott Canadian Equity Fund (SPR001) and there's none. I was told that for some funds TD charges fees and for other, they don't. Which I really don't understand, because I believe they get a compensation on a way or another from the company where individuals like myself purchase funds. I know how it works.

I don't really follow what I write on this blog. I first taught about the iShares, now stocks, and now back to mutual funds, when I just told myself I will not purchase mutual funds ever again... Anyway, that Sprott Canadian Equity Fund is a mine of gold and I would like to invest in it, even if the management fees are high (2.5%). And they also request that we keep the investment for 6 months, minimum investment is of 5 000$, which I currently have in my Waterhouse account. If not hold for 6 months, there's a penalty. But in case of need, I could always pick in my non RRSP mutual funds I have everywhere else. Because it's really investment all over the place. Like if I was willing to try anything kind of investment for money. This is the case. And it's really only for money.

But so far so good, as I stick to my 3 jobs to make near 800$ per week after taxes. I get kind of tease at one of the job. But I don't really care, as I never really care about what was going at my different work places. At one of my job, some idiots keep talking to me in English, while I am French and speak a some kind of broken English. Anyway, I don't pay too much attention, I reply in French. I don't care for anything else than the money I can make from different jobs. I am so not such difficult that everything is going very smoothly. And I am pretty good, as it been going on for a while now and money is coming like crazy, I just have to look at my expenses carefully.

After this investment (5 000$ in the Sprott Canadian Equity Fund, non RRSP), I won't be able to make any more investments for a while maybe, as I need to save 7 000$ for my RRSP of January 2008. And it will be good if I could pay off those stupid loan debts.

I feel lost in the finance world and stocks are tricky. Sprott Canadia Equity Fund appears to be a good solution. It's been well ranked by MorningStar even if the fund doesn't appear in the Analyst pick. Maybe because of its high fee. And it's also a bit volatile, but I am looking for a long-term investment. So now, I only have a phone call to place to make myself super rich with the Sprott Canadian Equity Fund. It is soooooo simple.
