Today is March 28, 2021. Although passive income through dividends and option premiums is my focus when it comes to investing, I decide to do a post about my current net worth.
What is net worth? Simply put, net worth is calculated by adding up all assets and subtracting the total of all liabilities. Net worth is sometimes referred to as shareholder's equity. Assets and liabilities are part of the balance sheet.
Assets
Savings
The savings section is currently into 3 segments. The 3 parts are a "high" interest savings account, savings account, and an "investment" savings account.
The TFSA savings account was with Tangerine. I was frustrated with getting such a low interest rate with Tangerine. I took the money out and placed it in non-registered high interest rate savings account with EQ Bank. Unfortunately, the account did not disappear as interest was earned in the TFSA with Tangerine for the month I transferred the balance. The balance is $0.18. With a value this low, I do not even earn interest as the balance so low.
On March 28, 2021, the value of the savings account with EQ Bank is $2295.56. As of the time of this writing, the interest rate for EQ Bank is currently sitting at 1.50%. I had two $300.00 GICs which have matured and have been paid out to this particular savings account.
The stock and ETF investment involves a stock and an ETF that I hold within my margin account. I keep the dividends and distributions received separate from the dividends I post in my dividend income updates.
The stock is Inter Pipeline. The ticker symbol is IPL and trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange. I own 42 shares with an adjusted cost base of $901.80. I received a total of $84.37 in dividends since initiating this position.
Currently, Inter Pipeline is in the midst of a hostile takeover by Brookfield. Brookfield is offering $16.50 CAD per share for all remaining shares that it does not already own. Inter Pipeline highly recommends its shareholders reject this offer stating that it undervalues the business of Inter Pipeline.
I purchased an additional 8 units of BMO High Yield Covered Call ETF at a total cost of $131.95 on January 27. I purchased an additional 8 units of BMO High Yield Covered Call ETF at a total cost of $129.15 on January 29. The ticker symbol is ZWC and trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange. My brokerage has zero commissions on purchase of ETFs. There is a small ECN fee which is a few pennies. The purchase of these units resulted in $0.06 in ECN fees. This ETF pays monthly. I received a total of $42.02 in total distributions as of March 28, 2020.
