Dividend stocks portfolio – Recent Purchases – April 2023

Intro..

For those of you new to this website, in this post, I discuss the recent changes I made in my dividend portfolios, and sometimes I discuss my portfolio diversification strategies as well.

I didn’t make any major purchases in April.

I just reinvested a portion of dividend income in my registered accounts and added some stocks in my existing holdings.

Last month, my focus was on debt reduction.

I received a decent amount of tax refund. Using the tax refund, saving and dividend collected in my non-registered accounts, I was able to reduce my debts by over $8000.

If the stock markets stay high, I will continue focusing on debts reduction in the coming months.

I reached one of my long-term financial goals.

My estimated yearly dividend income reached $25 000 in June. I successfully achieved one of my long-term financial goals of $25000 annual dividend income.

Small-cap portfolio

My small-cap experiment portfolio performance wasn’t that great.

I try to sell small positions at a time.

Again, it is an experimental project with a tiny portion of my money (compared to my dividend portfolios). It is just less than 1% of my overall investments.

Therefore, its poor performance did not make any significant impact in my net worth.

Here are the changes I made in my dividend portfolios in April 2023:

Commission FREE ETF purchases

Are you wondering how I can execute small orders of ETSs? Thinking about commission fees?

Actually, I use Questrade for all my ETFs purchases. There are no commission fees for ETFs purchases at Questrade. Therefore, we could buy one or any number of ETFs without paying any commission fees.

This is a great way to deploy cash and invest for more cash-flow as soon as they come in.

For those looking to start investing with little money, Questrade is one of the good options to consider because of their commission-free ETF program and minimum requirements to open an account.

If you have a plan to open an account with Questrade, please accept my gift and take advantage of this $50 trade commission rebate.

There is a trading charge of $4.95 when you sell ETFs. All the details are at the time of writing. If you have a plan to open an account at Questrade, please check all the information (including current commission fees) on their website and see if it is suitable online brokerage for your needs.
