Portfolio Value Update - May 2022

Portfolio Value
In May, my portfolio value increased by $4,250 from $156,143 to $160,393. May was a volatile month for stocks. The markets dipped in mid-May, but then recovered quickly by the end of the month. I’m glad that my portfolio is above the 160K mark.



Dividends
Dividends received in May 2022: $605.76
Dividends received in May 2021: $475.69
Year-Over-Year Dividend Growth: $130.07 or 27%
Year-To-Date Dividend Income: $2,890.27

I think it’s a great progress. So far this year, the dividends have been growing at a good pace. I continue to add more capital and reinvest the dividends to fuel future growth. Furthermore, the dividend increases play an important role in dividend growth. A lot of my stocks have raised the dividends this year.

Transactions

Cash Account:

• Bought 30 shares of Great West Lifeco (GWO.TO) for $34.45 per share
• Bought 30 shares of Power Corporation of Canada (POW.TO) for $36.06 per share
• Bought 40 shares of Saputo (SAP.TO) for $25.68 per share

I decided to put more money into the market because of the compelling prices. Out of the three, the POW.TO and SAP.TO are new positions for me. I believe they trade at good valuations and it’s a good opportunity to accumulate the shares while they’re cheap.

TFSA Account:

• Bought 15 shares of Telus Corp (T.TO) for $31.42 per share

My TFSA account is maxed out. I just reinvest the dividends. This month I decided to add to my Telus position because the shares dropped from $34 to $31. For Telus - $31 per share is not a bad deal.



Ads Revenue
In May, I collected $478.37 in adsense revenue from my YouTube channel. It was slightly more than in April, but the adsense are on the down trajectory. I feel like June will be a slow month for ads.

May 2022 YouTube Stats:

• 307K Views
• Added 789 New Subscribers
• $478.37 Revenue
• Daily Average $15.43
