January is behind us, time to check in on my portfolio.
After December’s ugly Christmas plunge, January looked a whole lot better in terms of stock market gains.
However, less concerned about daily or even monthly gyrations, I stuck to my original plan of collecting dividends and buying on (relative) weakness.
It’s been a busy January! This month I made several purchases:
I added to existing positions in A O Smith, Cardinal Health, Abbvie, Eaton, CVS, Verizon, Microsoft, and Texas Instruments.
Given these new buys, this month’s received dividends and stock price changes - how did my portfolio progress in January?
For reasons of comparison: a year ago, at the end of January 2018, my portfolio consisted of 49 positions with a total value of $119,545.
At the end of January 2019 my portfolio consisted of 60 positions with a total market value of $169,679, a Year-on-Year (YoY) increase of 42%.
This YoY increase is featured in the graph below.

D&H - I wish we would have more of those December dips, was great for adding to existing positions!
Look at that growth right there TI! Keep adding and watching your portfolio soar to new heights. Love the overall trend, despite the ugly pullback in December.

Thanks Bert! Yeah, not too worried about dips too much. In fact I would like prices to come down again, my target list is slimming 🙂
Any new buys in your cross hairs?
40% YOY growth is awesome.
