Dividends
Buys/Sells
January was quiet for me on this front I did not buy or sell any stocks. Currently building up my dividends to see if the market will pull back some before jumping in again.
Dividend Increases
January was very good to me for dividend increases I received 4 this month which increased my forward income $78.98.
- January 5th Enbridge announced a 10% increase to $0.583 from $0.53
- January 12th Canadian Utilities 10% increase to $0.3575 from $0.3250
- January 16th Algonquin Power & Utilities 10% increase to USD$0.1165 from USD$0.1059
- January 19th BMO US Dividend ETF increases distribution to $0.066000 from $0.062000
Credit Card
I didn’t include this in my figures but last year I owned a credit card that had an annual fee of $100 and I earned one point for every dollar I spent. Since I found the card too expensive to own I replaced it with a cash back card and in January I received $31.19.
So that wraps up my January report. How did you guys do?? Please share I would love too hear how you made out.
Thanks for reading please share if you want I would appreciate it.

Thanks Tristan what really helped in January was my TFSA. Last year I didn’t own any of the stocks I have now.
