I watch BNN’s Top Picks daily to get possible ideas for short term and long term investing ideas. Last week I watched David Baskin on Top Picks. These were his picks . From his segment : Keyera Pipeline ( KEY.To) . The dividend yield is 5.2% . The price at the time of the show is $32.37. It currently has 11 buys and 4 holds. The price target from Baskin is $42.64. He personally owns shares in this company, and…
I think it is time for some long term picks. My current picks for long term have been held for over 6 months and it maybe time to divest some of the picks and buy some new stocks. You have to take profit periodically otherwise you may lose the gains in a market correction. I watch BNN regularly and I am a fan of the Top Picks segment. Elliott Fishman of Scotia Wealth reviewed his past picks as part of Feb…
I made a short term buy earlier today of KAT.TO at $1.68. You can find my post about buying here. The markets were on my side today – The price ran up 8% after I bought the stock. I sold at $1.74 for a 3.6% return. I could have gotten a higher return if I had held it for longer, however I was happy with my 3.5 % gain and went with the sell. These are the perfect kind of…
I travel frequently to New York for Work and one of my favorite things to do in the evenings is visit different restaurants. You can find my list of favorite restaurants in New York here . I recently started watching Anthony Bourdain’s Layover show and wanted to collect some restaurants from his New York episode . Here are some places from his show I am going to be trying soon : Bemelmans Bar – The Carlyle ( Hotel ) –…
I have placed a buy order for KAT.TO today for a short term trade . I have been monitoring this stock and it typically pulls back and forth . My strategy is to buy on the dips and sell within a one month period. This can be an extremely risky strategy. I have suffered in my LAT.TO trade this year based on this strategy , however getting in and out quickly is the goal for this year. KAT.TO is a…
I love watching food shows . One of my favorite shows to watch is Anthony Bourdain’s Layover. I recently watched his layover show on Toronto. Wanted to make a note of some of the places he had visited so I can drop by latter on. Out of 18 places that caught my eye 3 closed, I been to 4 which leaves me with 11 possible places to visit in Toronto. Not bad. Here goes: Owl of Minerva – Korean Chain…
The last two days I attended a Manager’s offsite at my company and one of the things I learned on my offsite was that there is significant demand for employees in the cyber security space. I have a lot of young cousins who are graduating university , based on what I heard, I was recommending this field to them as possible career path. If I was in their role — I would take some courses or a certification and than…
We stayed at the Westin in New Orleans . It is a beautiful hotel with a stunning view of the Mississippi. There is another hotel in New Orleans that I adored more. One of my friends who has been to New Orleans before took us to The W Hotel’s courtyard. It was such a charming courtyard. When we went, it was slightly cold – so the courtyard was completely empty. We hang around by the fire and slept on the…
I am usually a very happy person and I tend to find happiness in most experiences. Lately I am so drained from work and other demands on my time that I can’t even seem to enjoy the simple things I used to enjoy ! One of my favorite things to do is to write about my travel – when I tried to do that today I couldn’t bring myself to write ! I am not a fan of this place…
Ever since I was a kid all I wanted to be is Rich. Rich for me is having enough financial assets so I don’t have to work and I don’t have to manage every dollar in order to do so. I had the same goal when I graduated University. I have had some good jobs where I make decent money – and I have made some money in investments . Nothing to retire from. When I initially started out –…
