This month’s blog is going to be short and to the point. Because of it being tax month on top of having to pay for some school fees and other expenses out of pocket I did not put much money into my portfolio this month, just about $200. This with free cash I already had in my portfolio I bought 10 shares of SUN for $270.85 after fees and 20 shares of CJREF for $117.04 after fees for a total of $387.89. These purchases added $51.20 to my forward annual dividend. Speaking of dividends, this month I took in $252.53 in dividends. This was my 2nd best month since I started this portfolio and it just missed being number one by only $2.00. This was a 60% increase over April 2017 and brought my running total for this year to $663.52.

I am glad people are still looking at my blog. It has been almost a year since I bought any stock or earned any dividends. I hope to start up soon and get back to making a nice little pocket change each month.
