At the end of October 2015, my portfolio stood at $$106,436.79 across all my accounts combined. Comparing to my portfolio balance of $97,787.80 at the end of September 2015, this represents an increase of $8,648.99 for the month of October which represents a 8.84% increase for the month.
New investments accounted for $1,869.37, thereby giving a net portfolio increase of $6,779.62 or 6.93% for the month. After two months of declines, the market and the portfolio increased in October.
After being short of the $100K milestone for a few months, I crossed it this month. Just a couple of years ago, I would not even have imagined having over $100,000 invested in the market. Looking back, it is definitely a great achievement and I am really satisfied about it.
I continued my weekly sharebuilder purchases in October. I also had my quarterly Scottrade FRIP purchase. I did not have any other purchases in the month.
Here is a graph showing the growth of my portfolio since 2009.

Dividend Growth Journey 
Solid progress, definitely like the upward trend of your net worth graph. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Tawcan.
Always nice to see your overall portfolio value rise but as we all know those values are largely up to Mr. Market’s whims. Dividend income, a lot more stable and reliable and consistent doesn’t really listen to Mr. Market. Still, congrats on a nice gain in your portfolio.
Thanks DivHut. The market has been on an upswing for a few weeks now. We will see how it plays out for the rest of the year.
Nice job Bud. Keep it up. Give it another year or 2 and BAM. 200k Mark. Don’t stop the momentum.
Cheers.
Thanks. 200K is coming up. Year or 2 might be too aggressive. Looking at 3+ as of now. But lets see.
Thanks for stopping by.
