Portfolio Value Update - January 2026

Portfolio Value
In January, my portfolio increased by $10,311, rising from $223,858 to $234,169. This represented a notable gain, particularly in light of market weakness in technology stocks. Due to the absence of technology exposure, my portfolio performed better than expected. Although I contributed $2,000 to my TFSA during the month, the majority of the increase was attributable to stock appreciation.

In December, my portfolio rose by $738, increasing from $223,120 to $223,858. Honestly, I was expecting a sell-off, but it didn’t happen. The stock market continued to go higher, braking through all-time highs every week. We’ll see how January plays out. At least I have a new contribution room of $7,000 in my TFSA account.
