2019 Plans and Goals

In today’s post, I would like to share with my readers about my plans and goals for 2019. With only one week left until the New Year, right now would be the perfect time to plan my investing strategy and new goals. 


TFSA Contributions
Let’s start with TFSA (Tax-Free-Savings-Account) contributions for 2019. The contribution room was raised by $500 so the new contribution room for 2019 will be $6,000 instead of $5,500. I also have an unused contribution of $900 from previous years. Therefore, my total contribution for 2019 will be $6,900. My monthly contributions towards my portfolio will be $575 (6900/12=575). 


Monthly Stock Purchases

Just like this year, I will continue to make monthly stock purchases in 2019. My monthly contributions and dividends will be combined to make one purchase per month. My monthly purchasing power will be around $900 ($575 fresh capital + $300+ monthly dividends). 


Stock Picks
In 2019 I will focus more on Bank stocks, residential REITs, and Energy stocks. On my watch list, I will have stocks like TD Bank, Royal Bank, Nova Scotia, Killam REIT, Canadian Apartments REIT, and of course the whole basket of Brookfield businesses like Brookfield Properties, Infrastructure and Renewable. I will also grow my existing positions whenever the stocks are on sale. 


Portfolio Goals
  • Reach $70,000 in portfolio value 
  • Reach $350 in regular monthly dividends 
  • Reach $4000 in dividends 

----

That’s it! I would like to thank you all for another great year! Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! Have a great and relaxing Holiday! Enjoy the break. Relax. Come back strong. Hassle hard. Invest wisely. Best of luck in 2019!

    1. Hey there! Greetings! Nice to see people coming to my blog from Scandinavia. Let me share with you a nice coincidence. I make aviation videos as a hobby and this week, for the first time, I filmed a plane from Norway. And now today I get a comment from you. A Scandinavian plane and Scandinavian visitor. NICE!

  3. Nice goals German! I believe you will definitely be able to achieve them. I like the fact you are going to max out your TFSA account, that is something I am trying to do as well. Thanks for writing this post, it reminds me that I need to do some thinking and come up with my goals for 2019. Happy New Year! :)

    1. Hey Matt! Yeah, first I will max out my TFSA and then I will max out my wife's TFSA. Two TFSA accounts will work for us tax free. Looking forward to seeing your goals for 2019. Happy New Year!
