We made $1,025.49 in dividends in March 2026, and our portfolio is down $10,674.04 excluding the contributions and the dividends. A total decrease of $9,648.55 excluding contributions. That's a little more lost than what we gained in February 2026! Per my earlier post last year - portfolio goes up, portfolio goes down.
Excluding RESPs, contributions this month added up to $1,048.08.
Here is how things changed last month, including our contributions.

I started to buy bonds to increase my exposure. My plan is to slowly start building up cash and bonds alongside other fixed income with higher monthly dividends.
