Bye bye Canada Bread Company Ltd. CBY no longer trade on the TSX. No more.

Canada Bread Company Ltd (CBY) stop being trade on the TSX. CBY had been buy by a foreign company and in result, it no longer trade. I didn't make much money on this trade. following the departure of Canada Bread of the TSX, I got back in hand a good $2 500. For now, the usage of my margin is reduce to $68 000. I have left just over 9k of available cash on the margin. I am not tempt by any other investment at this time so life is little boring. 

Now that CBY is gone from my non-registered portfolio, my dividend income is down to $6 155.83 or the equivalent of $513 per month. Not too bad. I had spent quite some money in May. My next investment will only be made in the second week of June. I am thinking of The North West Company Inc. (NWC). A $1 500 investment in NWC will only add me up to what I use to be before CBY took the door.

My Encana Corporation (ECA) shares are slowly but certainly going back to its old original value. I didn't have it easy on that one. Slowly after investing in ECA several years ago, it value went down, and it had been hard to get it back on track, but I knew it was the right thing to hold. Its new IPO could indirectly bring in some value to the title, its something to watch and it definitively deserve a hold.

We barely ever heard of my man Jean-François Tardif but his fund is doing well inside my portfolio. Unfortunately, the JFT Strategies Fund (JFS.UN) doesn't pay any dividend. The strategy to have with the JFT Strategies Fund (JFS.UN) of Jean-François Tardif is very very simple: use the man and his fund as your cash cow.

What is a cash cow? Let me explain it all. ;--0) ahah!

I had been holding on to JFS.UN since its IPO. Since that time, my investment grow of $490. The thing with a cash cow is to keep the initial investment in the stock market and once a reasonable profit is made, $500 or more, you sell what is left over. JFS.UN is performing well, but it doesn't gain value as quickly that I would like it too. But patience pay off. For that reason, it could be of a very great idea to make an investment of at least 2k in JFT Strategies Fund (JFS.UN) inside a TFSA. That way, each time you do the cow cash thing, you won't get tax on the capital gain. I plan to do that one day.

Without really knowing, I have a lot to do with my little money.

I haven't heard from Jean-François Tardif for a very long time so I had transformed him as an animal.

Welcome in my non-registered portfolio Laurentian Bank of Canada (LB)!

I made a new investment today, a few shares of Laurentian Bank of Canada (LB) for my non-registered portfolio. Since Just Energy (JE) had declined in value and that will sooner or later affect the value of my margin, I kind of had no choice - or 2 choices: to invest inside my non-registered to boost my margin value or simply inject cash with a 100% inside my margin.

Just adding cash in was too boring so I taught about going on with an easy girly fancy stock: a bank stock. Quite a surprising move coming from the anti-Quebec that I am, but I need something relatively stable and with a yield of at least 4%. I am still anti-Quebec, no matter what, but I am happy with my move. I like to welcome in some new stocks. My non-registered is now at $135 607.68.

Go baby go.

Just Energy Group Inc. (JE) title hitting the ground and eating it in full s

Winter had been too long and too cold, so now I am enjoying the nice weather and I don't spend too much time in front of my laptop in my free time. I didn't even take time to do my hair coloration yet and I need it. I need it now. Now its too late, everyone know that I am not a real red hair girl. Toooo badd.

I enjoyed my Monday Holiday and now just 4 days to go before another weekend, ok I can do this lol. Especially knowing that last Friday was pay day, and in result I now have a bit more than 1k to invest. And what will be my next investment? You'll find out next.

Lately, I had been watching very closely Exchange Income Corporation (EIF). For the past couple weeks, EIF had been going down... What's going on? I don't know. Its not the first time that EIF is playing with me like that. But now, everything is back to normal or almost. I think EIF will recover. On the other hand, things are not so great right now for Just Energy Group Inc. (JE) and I don't if JE will be able to recover anytime soon. Tooo bad.

And its all for the hot news.

Maybe just another thing, I did not sell CHR.B yet.

Thinking about selling Chorus Aviation Inc. (CHR.B)

At $136 951.89, my non-registered portfolio is at one of its highest value ever. EVER. i cannot wait to hit on the 140k. Its for reasons like that one, very explicit, that I decided to stop throwing away money on my student loan, or even worst - on my margin. NO NO NO.

One of my big holding, EnCana Corporation (ECA) is doing much better. I am confident I will recover from my loses on that one by simply doing nothing and let it go. Shortly after I invested in ECA a couple years back, the stock lost in value. It was hard to take, but I think its looking good for a recovery.

Another stock that is on the go is Canfor Pulp Products Inc. (CFX). I am now only experiencing a loss of $185 on this one, much less of what it use to be. I am catching on profit with New Flyer Industries Inc. (NFI) - I had been holding that one for a very long time.

Currently, I am thinking of selling my Chorus Aviation Inc. (CHR.B) stocks. I am currently experiencing a profit of more than $200 on that one and I would reinvest in something more secure, like, because I am now a sexy bank girl, it could goes on Laurentian Bank of Canada (LB), for example.

From Super Sexy Dividend Girl to Super Sexy... Bank Girl

Its been a wonderful weekend here in Montreal. These past couple days, Spring is here and I don't spend too much time online. I saw The Amazing Spiderman 2 on Friday and its was real good. And because the weather was so nice I did a bit of shopping. I spend the whole weekend outside. The weekend had been too short.

Davis + Henderson Corporation (DH) had changes its name to DH Corp (DH). I don't like this new name at all because of the double effect - DH in the name and DH as ticket symbol. The + between Davis and Henderson was super hot. And Davis with Henderson sound cool. Davis is one of my major holder. It worth something like a good 3k in margin value. I am very disappointed by the name change. I will be missing the "+".

With my latest investment in National Bank of Canada (NA), my dividend income reach out the equivalent of $518. I have to say that with all of the stocks that I hold in my portfolio, its hard to get in something new that will being an interesting dividend and, at the same, will be a safe bet. Well, no matter how great my portfolio is, I don't have it all yet, there are still some great investments I can add on to bring on strong value and dividend income. Do I decided to turn into a massive bank stock holdings and invest a one thousand in Laurentian Bank of Canada (LB). At 4.35%, LB dividend yield is super attractive. And I need money for more shopping.

Welcome in my TFSA portfolio National Bank of Canada (NA)!

I had bought a few shares of NA at $45.33 for my TFSA. My next investment will be for... next week. There's 3 pay in May, pretty hot.

For dividend easy cash, easy investment choices

In this rainy weekend, I calculate my dividend income by counting only the regular dividend that supposed to be paid quarterly or monthly. It make a total of $6 177.71 for both my non-registered and TFSA, an equivalent of $514.81 per month. Not too bad, but I want more! But how to do it while staying away of those stocks that pay too super high dividend yield?

Stocks that pay super high dividend yield - more than 6% - tempt to decrease their dividend overtime and at the same time, they decrease in value. And I don't want that to happen in my portfolio anymore. So I came with a DIVIDEND SUPER HOT PLAN.

With only $3 562.73 on student loan debt and $70 466.39 margin debt, I decided to invest all extra money available rather than paying debt because paying debt doesn't provide the same excitement as investment. In my search of new investment, I look at Susan Brunner investment list and made a few picks. Among my requirements: a good looking chart going all the way up-up-up for the past 10 years, a dividend yield of not more than 6% and not less than 4%. Basically, it was it. Also, I find I already have some REIT stocks in my portfolio so I ignore all REITs from Susan list.

I first came around with those stocks:

National Bank of Canada (NA)

Stock price: $45.65

Dividend yield: 4.04%

Inter Pipeline Ltd. (IPL)

Stock price: $29.85

Dividend yield: 4.33%

Morneau Shepell Inc. (MSI)

Stock price: $16.19

Dividend yield: 4.851%

Parkland Fuel Corporation (PKI)

Stock price: $20.12

Dividend yield: 5.235%

Thomson Reuters Corporation (TRI)

Stock price: $39.20

Dividend yield: 3.629%

The North West Company Inc. (NWC)

Stock price: $25.34

Dividend yield: 4.578%

Chemtrade Logistics Income Fund (CHE.UN)

Stock price: $20.51

Dividend yield: 5.851%

Russel Metals Inc. (RUS)

Stock price: $32.53

Dividend yield: 4.304%

Valener Inc. (VNR)

Stock price: $15.78

Dividend yield: 6.333%

Following what, I reduce my list for two immediate investment: National Bank of Canada (NA) and The North West Company Inc. (NWC).

I have a contribution room of more than 21k inside my TFSA and its very terrible. In the immediate time, I hold a few things in my TFSA that had slow down the raising value. The only thing I can do right now is to invest in high quality stocks inside my TFSA and National Bank of Canada (NA) is an easy and good option. Another option would be Inter Pipeline Ltd. (IPL). And also Thomson Reuters Corporation (TRI). I find that Thomson Reuters Corporation (TRI) is an enigmatic company.

Rain goes well with junk food

I was curious to update my portfolio and its how I found out that my net worth is now of $115 434.88. Not too bad, but I was more set on a 120k net worth. Also, back in January, I had a portfolio of like 190k and now I am down to 189k. I had sold some investments to pay debt, that's explain why my net worth is higher.

Its raining in Montreal, the weather is not nice at all. And during that time, I am picking on Susan Brunner stuff for some investments ideas. But right now, my very own Lumenpulse Inc. (LMP) is hot.
