Portfolio Value Update - June 2019

Welcome back to my blog. First off, Happy Canada Day to all my Canadian followers. We went downtown to see the parade and I made a video of it. I actually uploaded the video to my YouTube channel this morning. 

Portfolio Value
In June, my portfolio value increased by $1,667 to $73,992. Finally, it broke the iceberg. For the past 3 months, my portfolio value wouldn't budge. It was stuck at 72K despite stock purchases and dividend reinvesting. I'm happy they way my stocks were performing in June. The balance closed 8 bucks short of hitting the 74K. I think I will surpass that next month.

Dividends
Dividends received in June 2019: $346.23
Dividends received in June 2018: $280.41
Year-Over-Year Dividend Growth: $65.82 or 23%
Year-To-Date Dividend Income: $1,990.11

As you can see from the numbers above, dividends are growing at a healthy rate. A year-over-year increase of 23% is just awesome. A typical job salary will never beat that growth. Most salaries increase with the rate of inflation of 2 to 3 percent.






Contributions
In June, I transferred $575 to my TFSA account. I will continue to contribute the same amount every month. My TFSA contribution limit will be reached by the end of this year.



Transactions
In June, I made one transaction. It was a quiet month like most of the months. I bought another Canadian Bank - CIBC. You can scroll down to my next post to read more about CIBC purchase.



AdSense Earnings
Adsense earnings from the blog: $0.54
Adsense earnings from YouTube: $65.59
Total AdSense earnings: $66.13

This is the second month in a row that my YouTube earnings are up 20%. It was $40 is April, $50 in May and $65 in June. I hope this trend continues. I did put a lot of work into my channel in June. I created around 20 videos on different topics. I filmed Montreal’s nightlife, exotics cars, luxury real estate and airplanes.
