I purchased 300 shares of Enbridge (ENB.TO) at $44.10 per share for a total cost of $13234.95 including commissions. This purchase was made in my margin account. I did not have the entire amount in cash, so a little margin was used. At time of purchase, the dividend was $2.44 per share per year. Since the time of purchase, the dividend was increased 10% starting with the March 1 2018 payment date.
I previously send in a couple checks to purchase shares in ENB directly with the transfer agent. For investing with the transfer agent for this particular stock the purchases actual happen on the same date as the dividend payment date. There is no commission. The downside of purchasing shares this way is that you have no say in the purchase price of your shares. On Dec 1 2017, I purchased 5.743 shares of ENB at $47.58 per share for a total cost of $273.26.
I sold 1 put contract in Canadian National Railway (CNR.TO) at $96 and a Dec 15 2017. The net premium received was $64.05. For disclosure, I own 38 shares of CNR.TO inside my tfsa.
