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.
