Raises/ Cuts
There was a tonne of raises this month. I don’t know if it was a document however there was quite a bit. Sadly some had been smaller raises then anticipated although.
BAM – Brookfield Asset Administration threw down this month. A whopping 18.8% dividend improve. BAM! (sorry I had too) Sadly this can be a place I’ve simply began to develop within the portfolio, however simply highlights why I wish to develop it. This elevate added $13.68 to our ahead revenue.
BCE – Bell Canada Continued paying out extra dividends than their present cashflow and even raised it one other 3.1%. Then they fired a bunch of individuals and the inventory has received crushed. Not absolutely their fault although, this govt now desires to mess with telco’s after they invested a lot upgrading their methods. This elevate provides $24.61 to our ahead divs
NTR – Nutrien – Final yr they introduced a stable dividend elevate. This yr they didn’t 1.9%. This provides a big espresso to our life, I assume. =) Its a cyclical firm. Right here’s hoping for higher days forward. This elevate added 2.92 bucks.
CSCO – Cisco Or ought to I say cisgone… =) They introduced one other crappy yearly dividend elevate of 1 cent. So I made a decision to promote. We really did very well on this holding promoting for a achieve of like 70%. I simply received sick of their low dividend raises and their fixed acquisitions bringing a lot debt, and never a lot progress. Possibly splunk will flip issues round for them. Time will inform.
TRP – TC Vitality boosted theirs 3.2% Consistent with the place they had been guiding. This provides $22.92

February Inventory Purchases
FTS – Fortis
One among Canada’s solely dividend kings. 50 years of dividend raises for Fortis. The inventory tumbled a bit similar to most reits/utilitys and telcos. I believed it was a superb time to develop our place and gather one other drip quarterly as properly.
We purchased 27 shares at 51.83 per share. This provides $63.72 in ahead dividends
Amazon
After promoting our cisco place I made a decision to place all of the proceeds into amazon.. I was old fashioned and assume I wish to exit buying and discuss to folks and by no means actually purchased from them. These days we have now been shopping for from them increasingly more. Renovations have been somewhat little bit of an eye fixed opener, door handles and knobs and so on are drastically cheaper and so they come the subsequent day.
We can also see whats taking place within the states. Permitting folks to steal is completely insane.. Shops are closing due to it and other people will probably be pressured to make use of one thing like amazon. Wasn’t that a part of the wef 2030 plan? You’ll personal nothing? Individuals will hire gadgets and get them delivered. Ahhh simply one other conspiracy…
Clearly Amazon is much more than buying as of late, however its an organization that I wished within the portfolio shifting ahead. 0 dividends however offers the portfolio extra progress shifting ahead.
BAM – Brookfield Asset Administration
As I’ve mentioned in the beginning of the yr this can be a place I actually wish to develop shifting ahead. We are able to see how highly effective large time asset managers actually are.. Ie Blackrock shopping for up every thing. Bam will most likely be the identical. Plus its additionally an enormous bonus to be a Canadian firm that invests quite a bit exterior of Canada.
I believe coverage makers have actually messed issues up the final couple years and its solely a matter of time earlier than issues begin unravelling right here. Housing affordability and curiosity on Canada’s debt growing 36% yr over yr is an enormous dilemma. Can they decrease charges to assist with out inflation skyrocketing once more… I dunno this govt has proved time and time once more, they aren’t that good with cash. (Plus we all know inflation will rise as soon as they elevate the carbon tax by one other 23% on April 1st) And sure I do know the financial institution of Canada isn’t run by the federal government however there positive is plenty of govt stress on Tiff.
Bam is flush with money and even mentioned they are going to be placing that money to work this yr. Prime it off with the 18.8% dividend elevate, and this ought to be an excellent funding.
We added 21 extra shares at a value foundation of $55.88. This provides $31.92 in ahead dividends.
General we added $95.64 in ahead revenue this month from purchases
Complete added ahead dividend revenue from purchases in 2024 – $185.79
Bitcoin
As all the time we purchase a small quantity each paycheque and simply maintain greenback price averaging into it. I simply completed studying the Fact about crypto and it was an incredible e-book. It additionally made me much more bullish on this area. In case your a skeptic give it a learn, or simply take a look at a number of totally different bitcoin worth charts. Its solely turning into extra mainstream.
