In May, my portfolio value increased by $4,250 from $156,143 to $160,393. May was a volatile month for stocks. The markets dipped in mid-May, but then recovered quickly by the end of the month. I’m glad that my portfolio is above the 160K mark.

I think it’s a great progress. So far this year, the dividends have been growing at a good pace. I continue to add more capital and reinvest the dividends to fuel future growth. Furthermore, the dividend increases play an important role in dividend growth. A lot of my stocks have raised the dividends this year.
