Dividend Portfolio Snapshot for February 21, 2012
Enbridge Inc.'s (ENB.TO) sudden drop mentioned in my post last week, was noticed by investors which caused the stock to rally today. ENB.TO closed at $38.52 /share, or +$0.94 (+2.50%). I bought shares of ENB.TO early in the day at $37.80/share.

Dividend Portfolio Snapshot for February 17, 2012
The TSX ended lower today at $12,458 or -$27.29 (-0.22%). My portfolio also ended down by -$65.42 (-0.06%).
I bought some shares of Enbridge Inc. (ENB.TO) at $37.64/share. ENB.TO closed at $37.58 (-$1.62/-4.13%) on Friday. I found it odd that Enbridge would drop so dramatically in one day. I thought it was because of a small leak in two of their pipelines in Michigan, but it ended up being a selloff from Caisse de Depot et Placement du Quebec to "rebalance its asset mix". ENB.TO has been a good performer for me, so picking up more shares at a discount is fine with me.

To decrease my transaction costs I will limit the number of stock purchases to a weekly basis (or at least try). I have noticed that my transaction costs have ranged around $50 a month. If I continue at this pace, my yearly cost will be $600 a year. I will try and aim for $500 or less per year so it's not too difficult.

Dividend Portfolio – Week 6 – 2012
This is the first time I am posting a chart performance of my dividend portfolio. We are in Week 6 of 2012 so the two images is a week performance comparison of my dividend portfolio compared to the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500. The second image is a Year-to-date of my dividend portfolio to the same two US markets. It would have been nicer if I could get a comparison chart with the TSX.

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
