[00:00:30]Hey guys, it's Paul here on my channel, Better Call Paul, and today I'm wearing my Aussie Osborne t-shirt because this portfolio is starting to rock and roll again. Now, with a little bit of help from the market and all the work we've been putting into it in the past six months have finally paid off. And what do I mean by that? I mean, we are now in our fourth or fifth week of rising income. So week overw week we are seeing our income going up and that's exactly what we want to see in a daily snowball portfolio. So I'm going to show you a couple of tweaks that I made to the portfolio and um and I'm also going to show you, you know, the rising numbers.

[00:01:13]Now they're not huge, but week-overweek progress is exactly what we want to see.

[00:01:18]And I'm hoping to keep this snowball going. So, let's jump right into it and see what we're going to do, including a live buy for today.

[00:01:28]All right, guys. Today, we're going to start a little bit different. We're going to look at this first. And you can see here that um we had a couple of great weeks earlier on in the year where we hit $500, but then it sort of tanked from there and went all the way down to 388. And that was pretty depressing. But then you could see the week after that we hit 407 which was not bad but not great again and then all of a sudden we were up to 467 and then 472 and then 474 and now we're at 482.

[00:02:04]But can we get this number a little bit higher before the end of the week? All right, taking a look at this portfolio.

[00:02:11]What we're going to do is we're going to make a change with one of these ETFs. So let's go through them one by one. First of all, um we have blocks which has been pretty consistent recently but finally broke out of that 10 10 cent range and hit 1171 which was nice to see a little bit of an increase. And MSTW stayed consistent at 13. Now it was much better here at 16 cents, but you know, we're going to take what we can get. There's not much we can do about it. top W. The share price has increased quite a bit and I'm almost even on this position, which is fantastic. Unfortunately, this week the distribution did drop a little bit to 24 cents, but again, we're going to take everything we can. It all adds up. Um, YB BTC, I'm going to I'm going to have to say that this one has been a little bit um disappointing. Uh, and again, this week now we're down 15 cents. Last week was a decent week at 17 cents, but dropped down again this week.

[00:03:13]Alti, uh, this is actually a really bad week. Um, you can see that it was paying over 40 cents, down to 39, and then this week at 27, although I looked at my distribution in my RBC account and it was the same as last week. So, I wonder if I have somehow have this number wrong. I might have to double check that one. All right, guys. So the big the big winner for this week again is of course Chippy.

[00:03:39]And if you look back four weeks ago, you can see it was paying 50 cents, which was which was which was fantastic.

[00:03:47]And then it shot up to 60 for two weeks in a row. And now with the with the share price over $70, hitting $75, they've hit us with a 66 distribution. And this is fantastic. You know, part of me wants to sell this position because I'm up 37% in just two months and uh and that doesn't even include the distributions, but you know, the higher the share price goes, the higher the distribution goes. So, I'm holding on to this one for now. Um you know, I hope I don't hold on to it too long. Meaning, you know, at some point in time if semiconductors cool off and the share price tanks, but uh for right now, it seems to be doing really well.

[00:04:31]So, I can't complain. I really lucked into this one. Thanks again to everybody who recommended it. All right, guys.

[00:04:38]This is this is really helping my portfolio this week because I have so many shares of QDTE and RDTE. When they're in the green, when they're when their distributions are going up, that equals for me more money, right? So, you can see that QDTE had three pretty much bad weeks in a row and finally jumped up to 21 cents. I'd like to see this even higher, but 21 cents is a lot better than what it's been paying recently.

[00:05:06]Now, RDTE had a good week four weeks ago at 20 cents, dropped down to 17 for a few weeks, but it's back up to 19 this week, so we'll take it. Um, Misti, Misti didn't have a bad week when you really think about it. Um, you know, last week was 55. This week's 53. A few weeks ago was down to 48. So, you know, I'll take 53 cents. I'm not going to complain about that at all. I would like to see of course the share price rising and um you know and the distribution going up as well. Be nice to get you know Misti while I used to pay you know one two three a month. I guess when you think about it 53 cents four times a month is is still $2. Uh although you know there was the five for one reverse split. So mathematically that doesn't work out.

[00:05:54]All right guys I'm I'm just so excited I'm not even making sense this morning.

[00:05:58]Uh, here's what I decided to do. Um, I haven't bought any Misti shares in a long, long time. And after they did the five for one reverse split, my average cost was $114.

[00:06:12]So, I decided uh this month not to buy any any more HHIS.U because it's over my average cost right now. and instead I decided to buy six more shares of Misti, which brought my average cost down to $99 and increase my share count to 36. So now we're at 36 uh shares. And that will of course bring up the distribution a little bit, right? So instead of $16, I'm making $19. So now instead of $482 or whatever it was, it's now $48717, right? 355 Canadian, 48717 US. So, I'm going to go down here and I'm going to make that change to 487.17, which looks a little bit better than it did before.

[00:07:03]Okay. So, what I've done is I've added this column here for Misti. Um, as you can see, so far I haven't bought any more TDAC, but I did mention we're going to do a live buy today. So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to look at buying uh an additional 15 shares of TDAC because I'd really like to get up to that 900 mark. Um, and then from 900, we're going to try to get to a,000. So, we're going to do that, which will of course increase my my distribution this month. I think next week is the X dividend date for anybody who's looking to buy. you probably have to buy it maybe by Monday or Tuesday at the latest to get paid next week on the 20th if I'm correct. Um, so you can see here I did I didn't buy any more HHISU, but I did buy the six shares of MSTY and I think I will keep buying these for a little while. We'll see how that goes.

[00:07:58]See how that helps increase my weekly income, guys. So, here we are in my Wealth Simple account, and you can see here on the right that I have $1,654 accumulated. I've been I haven't bought anything in quite a while, and I get US distributions on a daily basis. So, this just keeps growing. Um, so this is TDAC right now. It's currently at uh 2838, which is a lot more than I want to pay for it. You can see my average price is 2552, but this doesn't seem to be showing any signs of slowing down for right now. So, I'm not going to put all of my uh available capital into it, but I think I'm just going to buy uh 20, sorry, 15 shares. We'll just do a quick market buy so it goes through while we're doing this. So, there's 15 shares will be 426 will still leave me about $1,200 uh to spend.

[00:09:00]All right, next submit order. All right, guys. There you go. We just uh we just bought 15 shares of TDAC. Let's see what that does.

[00:09:12]So, 900 shares uh average price 2557. I don't think that increased much at all because I do have so many shares. Such a small buy doesn't really affect your average price a lot. All right, so that's fantastic. I'm happy about that.

[00:09:28]All right. So, here we are in our monthly pairs chart and we will add the uh extra shares. So, now we're at 900.

[00:09:39]Um I still have this blank because uh I I checked the website for um for Tap Alpha and they haven't released what the distribution is going to be. Now, I I have a feeling like it's going to be up a little bit. I could be wrong, but it's been s such a tear lately. I think this is going to be higher. But let's say even if it's just what it was last month, which was 35.

[00:10:04]Plug that in there. That would put us at uh 94961 um Canadian. Okay guys, so this is all in US and then this is in Canadian. Now, if we come down here, all right, so if we come down to this chart, you guys can see that I've put in the 48717 for this week. We still have two more weeks to go. All right. And and we have to put in the monthly. So, just for fun, I kind of took a look at this. If we could get 450 for the next two weeks and put in 949, that would mean this month we would total 32.83.

[00:10:52]So that'd be fantastic. That would really, you know, blow out all these numbers and uh be But again, just keep in mind that there was there was the extra Friday. So that helps out a lot obviously. Um, but as you can see, you know, 472 beat the first week of last. This one beat it.

[00:11:13]This one beat it. And then we'll have to see exactly what these two weeks end up being. So, we're in uh we're in our daily snowball portfolio. You can see uh I didn't add to any of these. I decided to add to Misti instead. Um I have been keeping track of these share prices. Uh, I mean, we could go through them right now quickly as we're making this video and see see what we're at. All right, just for fun, let's go through each one of these uh and see what it currently sits at.

[00:11:49]I'm not sure really if the market's going up or down today. Um, but yeah, just for fun, we'll do this really, really quickly. So, right now, this is at 1756.

[00:12:03]So that that makes my my loss obviously a little bit more because the price went down. Um MSTW, where is that at today?

[00:12:13]Um MSTW's at 856. It's down a little bit. So 856 again that brings it down a bit. Um so top W. This one is up 3970.

[00:12:29]This is the one I really wanted to show you guys. As you can see right now, we're negative 4.47%.

[00:12:37]At one point, this was down like 20 or 30%. So, it's recovered a lot, which is amazing. Um, that's why, guys, never panic sell, okay? Don't um you know, don't don't uh don't get too excited, you know, when the market's up or down, right? The market, you know, it's going to you're going to have your highs and you're going to have your lows. Um, but don't overreact to either situation.

[00:13:06]Okay, what about YBTC? This one really hasn't impressed me, but it is up a little bit today, which is nice to see.

[00:13:12]So, we're at 2275, and that helps a little bit. All right.

[00:13:17]Now, I think for a while I'm going to keep adding to my MSTY position, but once I get that one um, you know, built up a little bit more, then I will work on one of these as well. So, all right.

[00:13:30]So, for right now, guys, I'm just going to keep working on TDAC, which I just added 15 more shares today. I'm going to keep working on MSTY. Uh, that one pays weekly, so hopefully we'll see an increase in our distributions on a weekly basis. The TDAC only pays once a month, so we just keep buying that and try to try to improve it for the following month. Um, I I really like the the NASDAQ seems to be on a tear lately.

[00:13:56]Um, I really would like to see that pull back a little bit so that I could buy my last 100 shares um with the money that I have and not uh, you know, not overpay for this um, this ETF. But at the same time, I guess, you know, you have to pay for quality. And TDAC has proven that it can drop down to I think it was at 20 $22 a share, which was $3 under its launch price. And now it's getting close to $29. So, you know, the price appreciation doesn't matter if you're not selling, but I believe they'll be able to pay a higher distribution, which will be u exactly what we're we're looking for, higher distributions on a monthly basis. All right, guys. I hope everybody had a great week. Um, I'm really excited again about this snowball uh daily snowball portfolio. I'm glad that I didn't stop doing this series.

[00:14:47]You know, I wanted to show that even though we started really really high back in October and we crashed hard, you can see now that we're we're coming back to where we were. Um, not quite as high as we were back in October, but um, we're getting there. And Bitcoin is only hovering around $80,000. Imagine when it hits 90, right? Or a 100,000. I I could be wrong, but I think this portfolio is going to be flying. So, we'll wait and see uh if that happens. Anyways, guys, until the next video. Bye for now.
