In August, my portfolio value decreased by $2,402 from $154,277 to $151,875. The TSX index dipped a bit in mid-August, but then recovered quickly towards the end of the month. The reason my portfolio value is down is due to poor performance of the Canadian banks. The quarters weren’t the best and the share prices started to drop, dragging my portfolio down, down, down!! But I’m not worried about our banks. I will keep buying the dips!
