In January, my portfolio value increased by $7,351 from $143,703 to $151,054. New Milestone!! The majority of the increase came from new TFSA contribution of $6,000 and the rest came from dividends and stocks appreciation.
January was a volatile month with omicron fears, protests, and military tension in Eastern Europe. However, if you look in the past; 2020 and 2021 had similar problems and the markets did incredibly well. Will the markets continue to do well in 2022? We’ll see. I personally don’t think so and the way I’m going to play these markets is by investing in high quality businesses and stick to my long-term plan.
