    Pretty standard moves so far.

    As you can see, I’m moving pretty heavy into utilities.

    Trading history
    This guy seems smart

    I plan on owning around 500 shares of ENB so I will keep buying this company until I feel like my weight is right. It currently pays $0.61 per quarter dividend and has raised it twice so far this year with the expectation of  a 10% increase per year until 2024.

  • Stock Purchases – February 2017 (PART DUEX)

    Stock Purchases – February 2017 (PART DUEX)

    Hello. Shalom. Time for some more stock purchases in February – part duex.

    I’ve been doing some more shopping, I think I might have an addiction! I must admit, I like spending money. I just hope the things I buy will increase in value over time. We shall see~

    Companies I Bought

    Company SymbolCompany NameShares PurchasedPurchase PriceTotal Dollar AmountYearly Income
    [stock_quote symbol=”TSE:SJR.B”]Shaw Communications 235$28.10$6,603$279.65
    [stock_quote symbol=”TSE:XTC”]Exco Technologies390$11.65$4,543$124.00
    [stock_quote symbol=”TSE:ENB”]Enbridge Inc110$55.60$6,116$256.52
    Total$17,262$660.17

    Nuts and Bolts

    • I added to my position of Shaw Communications Inc so that I would have enough dividends to DRIP a new share every month. Shaw has increased its dividend every year for 14 years. The last increase was 8%.
    • I started a new position of Enbridge Inc. Enbridge has increased its dividends every year for 21 years. The last increase was 10%.
    • I started a new position in  Exco Technologies Limited. It has increased its dividend every year for 11 years. The last increase was 17%.
    Hustle
    There is always money in the banana stand.

    What’s up FIRE bronies. Time for some more stock purchases!

    I’ve been doing some more buying, adding some of this and a little of that, hoping to catch a few deals in an expensive market.

    Nuts and Bolts

    I decided not to start any new positions but instead, added to existing companies I already own.

    I’m pretty high on energy and utilities right now.

    I will probably add more shares to AQN.

    I’m still sitting on a large pile of cash at the moment and am really hoping for a correction sometime in this year.

    Crash and burn!
    Never sell bro.
