Ahhh, yes. The end of another year! And, time for another dividend income update.
The end of 2016 marks the end of my first year with actual skin in the game. It also marks the first time I have posted my income updates on this blog. I plan on doing these monthly from now on as I open more positions and increase my trading frequency.
Anyways, I am really pleased with how my portfolio has performed this year and I'll be cruising into 2017 safely in the black.
I didn't open any new positions or add to any existing ones because I was too busy to do my due diligence. Instead, I added some cash to my balance so I'm ready for the sweet buying opportunities which will surely arise in the new year.
I'm currently sitting 81.1% in stocks and 18.9% cash.
My long-term portfolio can be found here.
Starting early 2017 I plan on trading a lot more frequently. I will add another page to monitor those trades at that time.
Dividend Income for December: $9.30
Individual payments are broken down as follows:
- ALA - $0.88
- BEI.UN - $0.94
- CIX - $1.15
- FTS - $2.00
- MFC - $1.85
- TNT.UN - $2.48
I'm excited to continue to build my passive income in 2017 and I plan to open several long-term income positions within the next few weeks.
Some companies I'm investigating further as future additions to my portfolio are HBC, VSN, PKI and FFH. I might also increase my long-term position in FTS.
What do you think? I'd love to hear from you if you happen to stumble across this blog and read this far. Hit me up on Twitter @masontrades and don't forget to subscribe by email for future updates.
Happy New Year!
