Portfolio Value Update - January 2021

Welcome back to my blog. January 2021 was an exciting month. The WallStreetBets on reddit coordinated a short squeeze on some of the most shorted stocks. It was entertaining to watch the tug of war between the retail investors and the hedge funds. Usually, the big guys manipulate the markets and take advantage of the swing trades, but this time, probably for the first time in history, retail investors won the war! Eventually the dust will settle, and the big boys will take over. Anyway, let’s get to my January numbers.




Portfolio Value
In January, my stock portfolio value increased by $9,151 and closed at $110,144. I did transfer $6,000 to max out my TFSA contribution room, the rest of the gain came from stock appreciation.



Dividends
Dividends received in January 2021: $450.92
Dividends received in January 2020: $365.63
Year-Over-Year Dividend Growth: $85.29 or 23%
Year-To-Date Dividend Income: $450.92

I’m starting the year on a good note. The growth rate is acceptable.



Ads Revenue
AdSense Revenue from YouTube: $779.00

Januaries are the worst months for YouTubers because the ad rates are cut in half. That’s the nature of ad rates. They are more expensive towards the end of the year, aka the shopping season. That’s why my earnings dropped from $1456 in December to $779 in January.

But if you compare on a yearly basis, my January 2021 earnings jumped 337% from $178.17 to $779.00.

January 2021 YouTube Stats:
  • 584K Views (Second best month)
  • 2.552 New Subscribers (Record monthly increase in new subs)
  • $779 Revenue
  • Daily Average $25.12



January 2021 Summary
Portfolio Value: $110,144
Dividend Income: $450.92
AdSense Income: $779.00
Combined Income (excluding day job): $1,229.92

    I do enjoy reading about your progress German. I've noticed the same on my end as well with my Youtube channel, Jan income was definitely lower than December. It'll be interesting to see when it picks back up

    Honestly, the most impressive part of your income is the AdSense Revenue from YouTube. Never realized it can be such a good money maker. Do you have a post or video talking about how it all began?
    I am also interested in knowing what you bought with the new $6000 in TFSA.
    Take care

      Hi,

      I got monetized on YouTube in October 2018 and that's when I started to post about it.

    I’m Артур Борис a resident/citizen of the Republic Of Russian. I’m 42 years of age, an entrepreneur/businessman. I once had difficulties in financing my project/business, if not for a good friend of mine who introduced me to Mr Pedro to get a loan worth $250,000 USD from his company. When I contacted them it took just five working days to get my loan process done and transferred to my account. Even with a bad credit history, they still offer their service to you. They also offer all kinds of loans such as business loans, home loans, personal loans, car loans. I don’t know how to thank them for what they have done for me but God will reward them according to his riches in glory.
