Hello everybody I hope you are all doing great. First off I have been really busy and haven’t been able to write a post in awhile. I hope everyone had an outstanding month of March and increased your dividend income.
After a very busy February my portfolio returned back to normal. March was great for me and also very quiet for me no purchases were made. At the moment I am just sitting back and watching the dividends role in. In March I had 12 companies pay me dividends by far the busiest month I have ever had. The income received for the month was $243.39 that is an increase of $78.95 compared to March 2015. I received $64.58 in my TFSA account. For my RRSP account I received $178.81.
My portfolio consists of two accounts Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA) and Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP). I had five companies from my TFSA and seven companies from my RRSP pay me in March.

Thanks Tawcan it was a great month a big part of the growth was the purchase of the monthly income stocks in February, that should fuel some impressive growth for the remainder of the year.
