So after completing my taxes, I found myself with a bit of new RRSP contribution room. Thing is, it might make sense for me to wait until next year to contribute, as I will be earning a full year’s income instead of only 8 month as I will be this year. Decisions, decisions. I haven’t [...]

The market rally since the beginning of the year has been great for my overall portfolio value, but a bit crappy because I want to make some purchases. I know, I know, I shouldn’t be timing the market. I transferred a chunk of my savings over into my investment account for my TFSA contribution and to increase [...]

The year ended off pretty well for my portfolio, even though the TSX only posted a 3% gain for 2012. Hopefully, the market will tank a bit once I get my TFSA contributions in so I can make some purchases. If only the market works like that, hey? So this is what my investment portfolio [...]

The market took a bit of a hit after the elections but the lower prices didn’t stay low very long. No moves this month again but debating whether or not to dump XIN, XSP and CRS. I would use the money towards more ETFs. Also looked into VXUS vs. VEU, and might start adding VXUS [...]

No moves in August for me. Just collecting my dividends and watching how my allocation changes based on how the stock market is moving. As both my RRSP and TFSA have been maxed out for the year, the portfolio will probably remain unchanged for the rest of the year. So this is what my investment [...]

Vancouver is such a beautiful city; thanks to all of those who took the time to go sightseeing (and eat!) with me. Even the weather cooperated! Only move I made in July was picking up some more bonds for my TFSA. Unless there is a huge drop in Canadian equities (in which I will make [...]
