Portfolio Value Update - June 2022

Portfolio Value
In June, my portfolio value decreased by $12,792 from $160,393 to $147,601. It’s quite a big drop but in line with the boarder Canadian market which fell 8%. It’s not too bad. We just need to hold tight and continue investing until we reach our goals.

Portfolio Value
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.

Portfolio Value Update - April 2022

Portfolio Value
In April, my portfolio value decreased by $5,794 from $161,937 to $156,143. The market dropped in mid-April following the interest rate hike by the central bank. The drop has set me back to where I was in March. But this is a buying opportunity and there are a lot more deals that I could take advantage of in the coming months.

I’m now earning over $600 per month in passive income from regular dividends. This is a new milestone for me and I couldn’t be happier with the progress so far. All dividends are invested back into dividend paying stocks.
