in the spirit of adding to my sinking portfolio, i bought some more MPT.UN-T

Date: 2008-10-09 (yyyy-mm-dd)
Symbol: MPT.UN-T
Company: Macquarie Power & Infrastruct.
Action: BUY
Price: $5.24 (provided by globeInvestor.com)
# Shares: 1400.000000
Fee : $15.00
Total Amount: $7,351.00

that uses up all my cash (i guess it arrived from the 22% yield - and i'm guessing that's not really sustainable over the long term.... :roll:)

It wasn't till I posted my Oct 31 balance did I remember I had so much money sitting in cash: $36,610.73.

Bought 1,038 shares of BCE at $35.25. I think the trade cost is $15 so that leaves me $6.23 in cash.

Why are you in such a rush? There are a lot of trading days left before the end of the year. We've never had someone go from first to worst in the same contest year until this year. If this is the year of exceptions, then we might just get another one before the year is out! :shock:

After watching those Peter Schiff videos I'm feeling more than a little rebellious! :lol:
