By the end of May 31, 2016, my dividend portfolio balance was at $32,163.75. That’s an increase of $1,051 from the previous month. The main increase was mainly due to a monthly contribution on $800 and a monthly dividend payout. Stocks didn't do much in May, but I'm still happy with my portfolio performance because historically everything drops in May.
