Wednesday was a weaker day in the markets with the S&P 500 down 0.6% and Toronto down 0.2%.
But the Canadian dollar fell 9 tenths of one percent which adds to the value of U.S. stocks in Canadian dollar terms.
Couche-Tard was up 5.4%. Melcor was up 2.3%, Bank of America was up 1.4%. Almost everything else on our list was down. Overall, with the sharply lower Canadian dollar, we had a good day.
With a concentration in some of the better performing stock picks, my portfolio is up 5.2% this year.
