Stocks in the Stockings, Please!
income trusts, investing (general), stock picks December 20th, 2008
Well it’s been a busy couple of weeks for me. On top of everything else I’m glued to the business news each day and really starting to get tired of hearing about the bailouts, especially when it seems obvious that one or more of GM, Chrysler and Ford (probably not Ford, though) will clearly go bankrupt within the year anyway.
Even still, I’m hankering to get back and put some money down on some stock. I have a list of what I’d like to buy. Just waiting on the extra cash to do it. I keep track of the stock prices almost daily for the stocks I do own, and I can’t believe some are down now five days in a row - like YLO.UN - crazy!
There’s really nothing I need for Christmas this year - except more stock investments. I’d love to just have an extra $1000 to plop into two or three - maybe Tim Horton’s (THI), CML Healthcare (CLC.UN), or even the Cineplex Galaxy Income Fund (CGX.UN). Those are looking like some really nice defensive stocks lately. In fact, CLC.UN has barely turned down much at all over the last six months if you can believe it. This is good to know going ahead… very good to know.
So what stocks are on your wish list? I have to say, my wish list keeps changing each day. I’m trying to work my way up to 100 of my own (including ETFs). Might as well be my own mutual fund!
