February Update: Meh – No Motivation

Dividend Income & Portfolio Update

Personal Highlights – February 2021

• I’m not gonna lie the last month or so has really been weighing on me.  I haven’t been keeping up with the news, barely logging into twitter, and have had no motivation to write anything on here.  This will be a quick to the point update…
• I had my first official even with the Winnipeg Whiskey Club at the end of February.  It was a blast.  I made it a goal to broaden my whiskey horizon and this definitely helped me do that!  It was a peated scotch event.  We had samples from six different peated scotches, including a couple heavy hitters.  I ranked them in the following order:
  1- Port Askaig 25 Year
  2- Edradour/Ballechin Cuvee
  3- Bruichladdich Octomore
  4- Amrut Peated
  5- Paul John Edited
  6- Scotch Malt Whisky Society 16.41
• Things are slowly starting to open up here in Winnipeg.  So far, I haven’t gone to any restaurants or anything, but I have had my brother and mother over for dinner/drinks.  Looking forward to the vaccine rollout to start ramping up, and getting back to normal.  
  
  Financial Highlights for February:
• Completed & filed my tax return today.  I was waiting on one last document which came today.  I used Simpletax which I have become an absolute fan of, and highly recommend to everyone!  We are getting a decent return, which will be used to pay for the yearly cabin taxes, yearly preschool cost and the rest will be dumped into the TFSA.
• Added to my position in Greenlane Renewables.  Picked up an additional 852 shares at $2.17
• Still sitting on a bunch of cash in my RRSP (from the sale of my XAW shares).  Waiting another couple months to see what happens before buying back in.
• Finally set up a direct investing RRSP account for my wife, so we can move over some old group RRSP to this account and have everything in one place.
• 2 of my holdings; Nexus Reit & Greenlane Renewables both graduated to the TSX (from the venture)!
• Got dividends from 7 companies and 1 fund.  
• Lots of good news/results coming in lately.  Artis, Western Forest, Chorus, Go Easy to name a few.  Algonquin Power reports tomorrow as well.
• Portfolio reached an all time high (again).  At this point it’s almost not worth mentioning. The market makes no sense.
