In January, my portfolio value increased by $13,538 from $142,269 to $155,087. It was probably the biggest monthly increase of all times. Since the beginning on the new year, the markets rallied to 6-month high, stretching out the valuations of some of the stocks. I did however add $3,500 to my TFSA account, the rest of the increase came from stock appreciation.
