I have a goal for my dividend payouts to match my business income. That’s quite a goal, and I expect it will take years for me to reach it. But in the meantime, I will be collecting dividends on the shares I own. I am pretty happy with the income I currently bring in, considering…
While the market mostly recovered in the afternoon, I took the opportunity to sell my two Canadian bank stocks – CIBC and BNS. This was sold at a bit of a loss. BNS lost almost 7%, and CIBC lost almost 1%. As I said in a previous post, I am overweight on Canadian Banks. I…
As per my analysis on the weekend, I got out of the FNGS trade at a 6% profit. Could have been a lot more, but I missed the top on that. And I reduced my exposure to Intel by half. I am not entirely sure whether to be in or out long term, but I…
It looks like stocks are dropping rapidly. Now might not be a good time to sell. I should have done this a week or two ago. But let’s review what I own in my second stock trading account to see if it still makes sense. Part 1 is here. PDI – PIMCO Dynamic Income Fund…
Friday: Monday morning futures: Should be an interesting day.
A pretty ambitious post idea. But I have said a few times on this blog that I like almost all of my current stock holdings. So why not recheck them, one by one, to see if I still feel that way? I’m doing just one of my accounts in this post. In a future post,…

Not too long ago, I was getting sick of the roller coaster in the markets. And now, we appear to be roaring back upwards after seven months of declines. I don’t know what this means. Nobody seems to know what it means. Is the bear market over? Are we heading for a soft landing? The…
As I mentioned before, each month that comes along brings fresh opportunities to invest. My business gets paid, and most of the money can be invested. Now that we’re in August, my cash-on-hand has risen to 44.2%. That’s a 4% increase due to the new money coming in. I have to transfer it from where…
I might regret saying this, but as of August 2022, I’m pretty happy with my portfolio. The expected yield on my portfolio is 5.41%, but some of that money is invested in GICs and balanced mutual funds. Looking strictly at my stock portfolio, my yield is 6.27%.
