Last week was Victoria’s Day so I didn’t update the portfolio.
The roller coaster ride in the last two weeks was quite worrisome. What I did is to ignore the fluctuation by staying away from the market. Wait until the picture is clearer. However, I still took the opportunity to buy some more Sun Life before ex-div date. 5% yield is attractive. Royal bank gave a good report for the last quarter, however, it doesn’t impress investors simply because it is not great. MORE PROFIT, that’s what people are expecting from the Canada’s largest bank. Well, comparing to other Canadian banks, they are in the similar situation, so I don’t think Royal Bank is falling behind in the industry. Stock price dropped from 52 weeks high @ $62.89 to this Friday close $55.39, which is more than 10% adjustment. It is now more reasonable to pickup the stock again. If next week market drops, I hope to re-enter at ~$53 range. Bought SLF @ $29.42 |

The market bounced back, and I took the opportunity to unload some stocks and capture the profit. If possible, I will buy more Sun Life next week below $30 to as ex-dividend date is coming very soon. Sold SLF at $30.30 |

DOWN DOWN DOWN. The roller coaster ride on Thursday was such a surprise. Actually I was sitting in front of my computer and looking at the 1000 points free-fall drop. My mind was empty, but I was still able to execute a trade to capture this unusual moment.
I sold my 10 contracts of Google and made good money. This is not in my short-term portfolio as it is an option trade. Ok, so going back to the short-term portfolio, I was able to buy some more stocks this week at lower price. The market is in a correction mode, but since I am focus on specific stocks only, I am not too worry about holding them. Rogers and Sun Life Ex-dividend dates are coming soon so I bought some to capture the dividend. Bought K at $18.36 Short-term Portfolio |

It’s month end and it’s time to review the performance of the portfolio. I was not very active in April as I was tied up with other stuff. On the other hand, the market is unpredictable nowadays, people react differently on good news and bad news. Goldman Sachs, Greece problems are just adding more uncertainties to the market. My own feeling is that the market is slowly reaching the near term top, therefore, it’s time to cut down some stocks and keep more cash.
I am below target this month so I need to be more aggressive next month to make up the difference. Gold re-bounced this week and I took the opportunity to unload my Kinross stock. Sun Life ex-dividend date is coming and I am adding more to the portfolio. Next week, I hope to get some Rogers at lower price. Sold K at $18.98 and $19.30 My long term portfolio is doing ok and I will reveal it next week. Stay tuned. Short-term Portfolio |
