Portfolio Value Update - January 27, 2014

Today my Dividend Portfolio decreased by $.49 to $13,987.40.

This is pretty good considering that the Canadian market fell another 135 points. I lost only 49 cents in today's battle and all thanks to VSN.TO which made up for all the loses.

Veresen

The best performer of the day was VSN.TO, up by 1.83% or 27 cents to $15.03. Thanks to VSN, my portfolio did not sink as much as the markets did.

Crescent Point

The worst performer of the day was CPG.TO, down by 2.16% or 85 cents to $38.51. I already wrote before that the next support level is around $38. On the intra-day basis the stock declines to $37.85 and then gradually climbed higher and closed at $38.51.

Portfolio Value Update - January 24, 2014

Today my Dividend Portfolio decreased by $112.22 to $13,987.89.

The TSX recorded its biggest single-day drop in seven months. The index fell 215 points and pushed a lot of resource stocks lower. My portfolio was also down today, but it could have been worse. Usually I loose $100 when TSX falls for 100 points. My stocks as a group didn't pullback as much as other stocks. Some stocks closed unchanged and even one stock managed to close higher. Unfortunately, the value of my portfolio is under $14,000 mark again. Hopefully next week my portfolio will bounce back above $14,000 and higher.

Today my Dividend Portfolio decreased by $90.73 to $14,100.11.

Leisureworld Senior Care
The best performer of the day was LW.TO, up by 1.07% or 13 cents to $12.24. The stock is getting close to its previous all time high level of $12.50. Once the resistance is taken out, it could climb another 2 dollars from there.

Medical Facilities
The worst performer of the day was DR.TO, down by 1.74% or 34 cents to $19.16. I recently sold half of my position for $19.63 because it was overbought. The RSI indicator was at 90 and now it dipped below 70. Some technical indicators confirmed a sell signal today. The next support level is at around $17.50, but if it gets close to the 200-day moving average, I will buy back my other half of the shares.

Portfolio Value Update - January 22, 2014

Portfolio Value Update - January 21, 2014

Today my Dividend Portfolio increased by $54.47 to $14,152.22.

Leisureworld Senior Care

The best performer of the day was LW.TO, up by 1.33% or 16 cents to $12.15. The next resistance level is $12.50. Once that taken out, the stock could easily advance to $14. By the way, I took advantage when the stock plunged to $10 and purchased more shares at $10.74.

Enercare

The worst performer of the day was ECI.TO, down by 1.00% or 10 cents to $9.90. Enercare stock is loosing momentum as it's approaching the 50 day moving average. It could correct another 5% from here and should find some solid support at $9.50 level.

Portfolio Value Update - January 20, 2014

Today my Dividend Portfolio decreased by $34.09 to $14,088.75.

Wajax

The best performer of the day was WJX.TO, up by 1.02% or 38 cents to $37.55. It looks to me that a bullish triangle is forming. If we can break above resistance level, we could easily see $40-$41 within the next 2-3 months.

Veresen

The worst performer of the day was VSN.TO, down by 1.25% or 19 cents to $15.01. I was expecting a slight correction for VSN, maybe 7%-10%, but the chart looks very bullish. I'm planning to reduce my position in VSN when it reaches at least $16.

Recent Transactions:

Sold 20 shares of DR.TO for $19.63 per share.

Bought 30 shares of PZA.TO for $13.30 per share.

Medical Facilities Corp is a great company, but I think it's too overbought here and it's due for a correction. The chart shows a parabolic move which is unsustainable. I had 40 shares of DR which I originally bought for $15. My capital gain is about 27% so I decided to take some profits and invest in something else. I sold 20 shares and left another 20 for further capital appreciation and dividends.

Following the sale of DR.TO, I decided use the proceeds to buy 30 shares of PZA.TO for $13.30 a piece. They pay 7% dividend on monthly basis. Pizza Pizza will probably continue to do well as long as they keep opening new stores. They also announced a 2.6% dividend increase last Thursday.

Portfolio Value Update - January 16, 2014 + Milestone!

Today my Dividend Portfolio increased by $147.93 to $14,033.20.

That's right! $14,000! For the first time. Just last month my portfolio value was about $13,000. Most of my stocks closed higher today, but the biggest contributor was Veresen Inc. I will watch this stock closely from now on. If it get's too volatile I will take some profits to invest in something else.

All of my stocks finished higher today which happens rarely. So there's no worst performer of the day.

Leisureworld Senior Care

The best performer of the day was LW.TO, up by 2.79% or 32 cents to $11.81. The chart for LW.TO is very bullish. It broke the resistance level (200dma) yesterday and managed to go even higher today. It's a clear indication of an uptrend.

Portfolio Value Update - January 13, 2014

Today my Dividend Portfolio decreased by $211.17 to $13,763.25.

It's one of those days when the markets are doing badly on Monday. All of my stocks were down except for DR.TO that closed unchanged. Since I'm mostly invested in resource stocks, my portfolio took a considerable hit. In order to avoid this scenario in the future, I will reduce some of the positions in resource stocks and will buy companies that specialize in other sectors. Now it will take a while to reach the $14,000 level again. I was so close last Friday... oh well, next time :)

Portfolio Value Update - January 10, 2014

Today my Dividend Portfolio increased by $162.51 to $13,974.42.

I'm really happy with the move today. I'm approaching 14,000 level for the first time and feel very excited about that. All of the stocks except for WJX.TO closed higher today.

Portfolio Value Update - January 6, 2013

Today my Dividend Portfolio increased by $149.50 to $13,812.88.

 

Lightstream Resources

The best performer of the day was LTS.TO, up by 5.28% or 31 cents to $6.18. That's a big jump for this stock. I was predicting $7 per share by the end of February. I guess we will be there sooner.

 

Pembina Pipeline

The worst performer of the day was PPL.TO, down by 0.70% or 26 cents to $36.87. I think Pembina will have a little correction here and will take a pause after it ran up to $37.50 per share last week. It has a great support around $35 level.

Portfolio Value Update - January 3, 2014

Today my Dividend Portfolio decreased by $47.96 to $13,633.38.

 

Liquor Stores

The best performer of the day was LIQ.TO, up by 1.85% or 26 cents to $14.33. The next short term resistance is at 14.45 which I think will be broken this time.

 

Crescent Point

The worst performer of the day was CPG.TO, down by 1.13% or 46 cents to $40.28. In a rare occasion I will see CPG to be worst performer of the day. Usually it's not that volatile. Anyway, this stock has a great support level at around $38. I think it will bound back and will continue to rally until the end of February 2014.

Dividend Income Report - December 2013

For the month of December I received a total of $97.64 in dividends vs $69.98 a year ago. That’s an increase of 40 percent on year over year basis! 

My total Year-to-Date dividend income for 2013 is $1,129.61. 

For the list of my companies please click here. 

As of January 2014, my monthly dividend income will decrease by about $14 because LTS.TO cut their monthly dividend by 50% from 8 cents to 4 cents per share.

I plan to make new contributions to my TFSA account within the next couple of months. With the new purchases I will be able to achieve $100 per month in dividend income by the end of 2014. 

Portfolio Value Update - January 2, 2014

Today my Dividend Portfolio increased by $12.84 to $13,711.34.
