Portfolio Value Update - February 2026

Portfolio Value
In February, my portfolio grew by $15,848, increasing from $234,169 to $250,017, marking my largest monthly gain to date. I contributed $2,000 of new capital to my TFSA, though the majority of the increase came from market appreciation. Looking ahead, I anticipate the possibility of a market correction in March, particularly given the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Elevated energy prices could place upward pressure on costs across the broader economy, which may weigh on market performance.
