Portfolio Update: January 20th 2015

   It's mid January and time for my first portfolio update of 2015! Thought it would be a good time for one after my recent buy, where I added to my position in Dream Office REIT. My portfolio's value now sits at $12,791.19, and has an estimated annual dividend income of $644.19, which averages out to about $55 a month!

    Since my last update my portfolio has grown in value by 7.75%, or 1.03% if you exclude my contribution that helped buy some of my Dream REIT shares. So I consider that quite good, I would have absolutely no problem with having my portfolio gaining 1% every month as that would mean an annualized return of 12%, since the S&P/TSX Composition has only a 4.84% return in the past year. It's definitely a great feeling seeing how far I'v come since last January when my dividend income was $21.23, the year before that zero, and this January I am expecting a new dividend record for myself.

Hope everyone is getting the year and their portfolio's off to a good start as well!
