March 2015 Dividends , Options , Adsense and Interest Monthly Report

Another steady month. I am getting my accounts ready for my new home purchase and financing the build. Was tough for me to get a mortgage on my current home but I managed to get it done. Money will be shifting around and I might be forced to sell my stocks to cover the build for a few months but I am working on options that hopefully will not come to that.

I am happy with the steady options premiums  I have been raking in and I hope to keep it going playing APPLE by selling puts. Interest paid has gone down by just paying down my margin. Adsense is down due to my lack of posts and activity which I attribute to my nephew staying with us and my new house project which have been swallowing up my time.

In Summary-


Not much happening this month. Slight loss of $3,307 as markets are bouncing around a bit affecting my stock portfolio . My cash on hand and debt are going in the right direction which I don't mind. The Canadian dollar continues to get weaker and Oil stocks which I am heavy in is still bouncing around all time lows. But what the heck is with the prices at the pump. I am paying prices that are equivalent to $100 oil barrel prices right now, least you can do is drop the price at the pump or my stock price you greedy bastards! Oh well it will catch up soon enough!

I am getting set to purchase a new lot for building my new home so I am playing it safe in the markets right now. I am focusing on paying down debt to get ready for all this. Financing has been a little bit tricky and I am just trying to play the close date on the purchase so I don't have to carry debt until I need to. Right now I got the new lot surveyed already and working on house plans with an architect. So I have officially committed to this next move into building a new house and selling my old one. With all said and done I will be in a much better financial position this time next year.

For this build to happen I need some things to fall into place. I need to sell my home and secure financing. Worst case scenario is that  I will sell my equities until my home sells and then repurchase them. Not my ideal choice or the most tax efficient but crunching the numbers it is better than getting a private loan at 6% interest.

In other news my brewery investment is coming to fruition and should be open for business next month! Hip Hip Hooray!

In family news my nephew that has come live with us is doing alright. He still does not talk to me much. It has been a challenge for him to open up. He is enrolled in air cadets and enjoying it. I make sure he is on top of his schooling with homework. Hopefully in time he will communicate more as its a tough situation.

Stay tuned for more posts!



Here is a pic of me working on the main floor layout. Thinking of losing the mudroom and making the powder room/ pantry and kitchen bigger!

February 2015 Dividends , Options , Adsense and Interest Monthly Report


 
Steady dividend payers , Steady Apple options premiums as it it continues its upward movement,  Adsense steady and mildly improved , Interest on my margin is going down as I continue to pay it down. Pretty much business as usual.

Right now I am buying some time. I am working on buying a lot to build a new home. So far I have a lot secured but the trouble is financing. Mortgage brokers are making me jump through a few hoops to get it done. I will be pulling equity out of the rental home I just purchased for the lot. I will then try and pull some equity out of my home for the building costs. It is all a bit of a tight rope walk till I figure out the particulars. Will have a post soon on the details on why I am doing all this but I hate to count my chickens before they are hatched.
