Portfolio Update

Blog

Funny enough, I’m not the best guy around to update you on my own portfolio. I really like blogging about dividend investing, but I don’t talk too much about my own stuff. Once in awhile, I think it makes sense to share my portfolio with you (my portfolio page is currently up-to-date, yeah!).

The stock market is definitely not a place for the faint of heart. At one point in time this February, the S&P 500 dropped by more than 10% (-10.51% on February 11th, 2016). On the Canadian market, the TSX dropped by more than 15% since its highest point in 2015. Now that we have been hearing more discussion about oil production stabilization from major oil countries, it seems both markets are on their way to recovering a good part of their drops. This is also a great opportunity to chase …
