Raises/ Cuts
There was a tonne of raises this month. I don’t know if it was a file however there was rather a lot. Sadly some have been smaller raises then anticipated although.
BAM – Brookfield Asset Administration threw down this month. A whopping 18.8% dividend enhance. BAM! (sorry I had too) Sadly it is a place I’ve simply began to develop within the portfolio, however simply highlights why I need to develop it. This increase added $13.68 to our ahead earnings.
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 bought crushed. Not absolutely their fault although, this govt now needs to mess with telco’s after they invested a lot upgrading their programs. This increase provides $24.61 to our ahead divs
NTR – Nutrien – Final yr they introduced a stable dividend increase. 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 increase added 2.92 bucks.
CSCO – Cisco Or ought to I say cisgone… =) They introduced one other crappy yearly dividend increase of 1 cent. So I made a decision to promote. We really did rather well on this holding promoting for a acquire of like 70%. I simply bought 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% According to the place they have been guiding. This provides $22.92
BEP – Brookfield Renewable – Elevated their dividend 5.2% including $24.08. This inventory appears enticing right here, perhaps I’ll add sooner or later.
DIS – Disney – Is the mouse again? I don’t know however after reinstating their dividend and questioning if it was going to be simply annually. They introduced one other dividend date and raised it one other 50%. Very good! This increase added $36.61
HD – Residence Depot – Wow this inventory has been good to us.. I ponder if its just a little overvalued right here, however I assume a number of issues are. They raised their dividend by 7.7% including one other $18.56 to their ahead dividend earnings.
7 dividend will increase in a single month? Man that’s superior.

February Inventory Purchases
FTS – Fortis
Considered one of Canada’s solely dividend kings. 50 years of dividend raises for Fortis. The inventory tumbled a bit identical to most reits/utilitys and telcos. I believed it was a very good time to develop our place and accumulate one other drip quarterly as effectively.
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 prefer to exit buying and speak to individuals and by no means actually purchased from them. Recently now we have been shopping for from them increasingly more. Renovations have been just a little little bit of a watch opener, door handles and knobs and so on are drastically cheaper and so they come the subsequent day.
We can also see whats occurring within the states. Permitting individuals to steal is totally insane.. Shops are closing due to it and other people shall be compelled to make use of one thing like amazon. Wasn’t that a part of the wef 2030 plan? You’ll personal nothing? Folks will hire gadgets and get them delivered. Ahhh simply one other conspiracy…
Clearly Amazon is much more than buying nowadays, however its an organization that I needed within the portfolio transferring ahead. 0 dividends however provides the portfolio extra progress transferring ahead.
BAM – Brookfield Asset Administration
As I’ve mentioned in the beginning of the yr it is a place I actually need to develop transferring ahead. We are able to see how highly effective huge time asset managers actually are.. Ie Blackrock shopping for up every part. Bam will most likely be the identical. Plus its additionally an enormous bonus to be a Canadian firm that invests rather a lot 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 rising 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 increase 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 a number 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. High it off with the 18.8% dividend increase, 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.
Total we added $95.64 in ahead earnings this month from purchases
Complete added ahead dividend earnings from purchases in 2024 – $185.79
Bitcoin

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 plenty of completely different bitcoin value charts. Its solely turning into extra mainstream.
We determined to go together with shakepay as a result of it’s regulated in Canada and also you shake the cellphone each day to get some free sats (bitcoin). They just lately modified the way in which shaking sats is finished. You get a specific amount per day now
