Dividend Portfolio Snapshot for February 8, 2012
The TSX squeaked out a positive gain after being in the negatives most of the day, $12,521.02 +$8.60 (+0.07%).
My dividend portfolio added +$161.34 (+0.16%) at the end of the trading day.
Due to the consecutive gains for the past few days I had some cash to invest into more shares. I added more shares in:
- Artis REIT (AX.UN.TO) at $15.66/share
- Boston Pizza Royalties Income Fund (BPF.UN.TO) at $15.44/share
- The Keg Royalties Income Fund (KEG.UN.TO) at $13.65/share
The markets are reacting heavily to the crisis in Syria and the Eurozone seems to be back in the news (bad news of course). Hopefully the markets don't react the same as last Fall.

This month's dividends: $389.72

As of January 31, 2012 my dividend portfolio has increased by +$5579.24 (+6.25%)
My plan for February will not change; buy-and-hold more stocks from my dividend portfolio. I will also continue to look for more stable, high-yield, Canadian stocks to diversify my holdings in my dividend portfolio.

Daily Dividend Portfolio Snapshot for January 24, 2012
The TSX dropped by -126.46 (-1.01%), and my dividend portfolio dropped by -267.02 (-0.30%). As the day went on I was down as much as -400.00 at one point so my dividend portfolio recovered a bit from its lowest point of the day.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) released news today that the global growth prospects had dimmed as the sovereign debt crisis in the euro zone entered a “perilous new phase.”
As a result of this news, more than 10 of my stocks in my dividend portfolio had their stock price drop more than 1% today.
It would have been a good day to increase my shares on all of them, but I was only able to buy one stock at this time:
- Boston Pizza Income Fund (BPF.UN.TO) for $14.73/share
