The time has come for my monthly portfolio update. At the end of every month, I will update my portfolio and comment on any changes. I do that for accountability and also so you may glean some ideas on how I allocate my capital. You have the opportunity to learn from what I do well, so you can do the same, as well as what I do poorly, so you will not have to repeat my mistakes.

Net cash inflow was $1950.56 during this period. Factoring out the cash inflow, my portfolio gained 1.90% in February.
Turnover was low, only 0.44% in February, or 5.28% annualized, assuming the trend continues. The bulk of my purchases was $1550 in 12 stocks in my monthly direct share purchase plans. The rest were dividend reinvestments. Prices were high in February, so I made no additional purchases.
What do you think about my portfolio? Thanks for reading.
