Here is my August 2014 investment portfolio update. I’ve finally moved my 2 US stocks, Bank of America (BAC) and Citigroup (C) to my RRSP. You may notice that many of my holdings increase on a month to month or quarter to quarter basis by only a few shares and in some cases by fractional shares. This happens because I always re-invest my dividend and distribution income. It is one of my golden rules of investing and is a great way to automatically grow your wealth.
