AFTER PARKING MOST OF MY NEST EGG IN VERY CONSERVATIVE INVESTMENT ACCOUNTS THERE WASN'T MUCH TO WRITE ABOUT. TPCI IS BACK WITH SOME THOUGHTS AND IDEAS, OTHER THAN INVESTMENT IDEAS, TO SHARE WITH CANADIAN BOOMERS, RETIREES AND SNOWBIRDS.

Nine Down And Three To Go!

Yup, end of September marks the end of the third quarter. So, what's happened so far this year? Well, I'm happy. My stuff is up 6.44% YTD.  The TSX is off .17% YTD. Always happy to beat the TSX.  If this keeps up, I should end the year with an gain of over 8%.  With each upward tick reaches a new all time high for my portfolio value.

September isn't going to go down in any record books but it wasn't too shabby. Nineteen trading days, fifteen up and only four down. At the end of the day, it was a nice month for my stuff with a gain for month of 1.1%.

Still doing well with my bank stocks, BMO, RBC & TO. They're holding their own and the quarterly dividends keep rolling in. My account is set up for dividend re-investment so all dividends are used to purchase additional shares which just adds to the pot. I'm now up very near 10% with my bond funds. A nice gain for this fifteen month hold. 

As always, Good Luck, Happy Investing!
