Trades for the Day

BMO and NA had good earnings and raised dividends yield.  They popped up today.  Those are my top two CAD bank holdings

Sold TSE:BMO 10 shares @ 148.50 = $1,485.00 to lock in 100.70% return.  I'm trying to reduce my BMO as it does take up 8.87% of my WS overall portfolio.  I am down to 323.52 shares.

Bought TSE:MSTE 60 shares @ 16.30 = $978
Bought TSE:MSTE 7 shares @ 16.26 =  $113.82 to average down to collect the ex-dividend date on May 31st.  Current, share count 300 x 0.66 = $198.00 which will be paid out June 9, 2025.
