June 2018 Portfolio Summary

In this post I will summarize what has recently happened to my portfolio in the last 30 days. This post will be more of just numbers and summary. Not a lot of analysis as I am on holiday right now overseas.

Here are some of the market metrics to see what has recently happened in the market.  The S&P500 is growing strongly in the summer (so far). Bond yields have gone up. The dollar remains a bit stronger than before. Crude oil continues an upward trend.

I'm very happy with the progress. $1240 is a lot of money when I first started. And now I get that in one month. I plot below the actual dividends I have received since I started. The trend is moving in the right direction.
