Dividend Stocks Portfolio (UPDATE) - January 2016

Here is the recent update to our dividend stocks portfolio – January 2016.

SALES 

Glad to be reporting that this past month we did not sell off any shares from our family's dividend stock portfolio.  And since we did not sell any shares throughout the month of January, that also means that our annual dividends did not decrease either. 

TOTAL VALUE OF ALL SALES: $0.00

OVERALL DECREASE TO ANNUAL DIVIDENDS: $0.00
  

PURCHASES

With the market offering what appears to be extended Winter Deals, our family decided to extend our holiday shopping into the January month. :) Overall, we manage to make 12 total buys this month. It wasn't the record month we had last August when we had 17 total buys and $6,010.05 of new capital, but it was the second most active month for our family since we started this blog. In all, we put $4,500.54 of new capital to work and added another 187.40 in forward dividends for our family's dividend stocks portfolio.
