At the end of September 2014, my portfolio stood at $71,536.11 across all my accounts combined. Comparing to my portfolio balance of $70,614.62 at the end of August, this represents an increase of $921.49 for the month of September which represents a 1.30% increase for the month.
Of the increase, new investments accounted for $2,701.90, thereby giving a net portfolio increase of -$1,780.41 or -2.52% for the month. The market was choppy in September thus leading to a net negative increase.
I purchased BP at the beginning of the month. I then opened a sharebuilder account with the advantage plan enabling me to invest regularly in small amounts. Since opening the sharebuilder account, I have invested $1,200 in AFL, KO, V and PEP.
Here is a graph showing the growth of my portfolio since 2009. As always, it is satisfying to see the graphs going higher each month/year. It reinforces the fact that I am making progress towards my goals.

Dividend Growth Journey 
You’re seeing some incredible growth over the bast few years. Keep on making those weekly purchases and things will only accelerate from here.
Thanks W2R. The weekly purchases are definitely helping.
Thanks for stopping by.
DGJ,
Nice looking portfolio chart. It looks like we are getting some good buying opportunities for October. Keep alert!
MDP
Thanks MDP. I am hoping some good opportunities too, but looks like the market is unable to make up its mind and has been too volatile the past few days. Let’s see what happens.
Yup I agree with dividend pipeline, oil sector and financial sector in particular seems attractive to me right now. Keep it up DGJ!
Ogie
Thanks Ogie. The oil sector is specially interesting right now with the low oil prices. I am looking to add to my position in COP in a while if it stays but low.
Thanks for stopping by.
DGJ,
That’s great progress over the last few years. Slow and steady is the name of the game! 🙂
Looks like some solid purchases there. You’re putting some serious capital to work, which bodes well for your future!
Keep it up.
Best wishes!
Thanks DM. The weekly purchases are definitely helping.
Thanks for sharing your recent update with us. AFL, KO and PEP are all long term holdings in my portfolio. Nice graph too showing your account totals. Look forward to reading about your dividend income update.
Thanks DivHut. I plan to build these positions over the next few weeks/months.
