In October, my portfolio value increased by $4,622 from $129,808 to $134,430. Most of the increase came from stocks appreciation. The stock market had a good run-up in October reflecting the positive earnings reports from most companies. The only sector that is suffering right now is manufacturing due to supply chain crisis.
