Here’s a quick look at some stocks/funds that I sold in the past year. And how they have performed since then. 1. True North Commercial Real Estate (TNT-UN.TO) This was an opportunistic play. The trust suspended its dividend, and the stock price fell. I decided to get in (for $1.33 per share) in anticipation of…
I should leave my portfolio as it is. I should not look at it or touch it. But I have these days where I get frustrated with investments that I put a lot of thought into and went nowhere. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 keeps chugging along. So yesterday, partly out of boredom and partly out…
