May 2018 Update

I am a little delayed for my may update but here it is. So May was a rough month but a good month. I had some bad and good buys and sells. I will go over my trade activity first.

Here are my buys for this month. Mostly my buys are just averaging down my current holding as they dropped in priced this month. Some are to get my foot on the door sort of thing, like my IPL.TO buy.

 I bought

BK.TO               53+3+21 shares
HPF.TO              4 shares
DGS.TO             50+7 shares
ESI.TO               40 shares
DR.TO               10 shares
IPL.TO               18 shares
PDC.TO             4 shares
AQN.TO            1 share

Here are my sells for this month. I became emotional about my ALA.TO and sold it for 24.84$ just when it bottomed during the dip after the ex-dividend date. That was not a smart move. few days later it recovered. So that is one lesson I keep on relearning. Do not be emotional. I am not sure if we will see the price $23.02 again but I will slowly build my shares in ALA.TO.

I sold
LB.TO 15 shares
KEY.TO 30 shares
XIU.TO 2 shares
ESI.TO 40 shares
ALA.TO 45 shares
AQN.TO 1 share

For the fun part, I received a total of $100.3 CAD this month. This is the first time I am hitting my $100 target. I am excited about June, despite of stocks I sold this month. So far, my quarterly dividend income has reached $176.92 CAD.

I hope you all had a great month as well. Cheers!
