Recent Transactions - March 2016

We restarted several more of the positions I had ridden my TFSA of, including 27 shares of Royal Bank of Canada (RY) for $2041.47, 68 shares of Canadian Apartment Properties REIT (CAR.UN) for $1996.95, 80 shares of Metro Inc. (MRU) for $3470.79, and 18 shares of Canadian Tire Corp. (CTC.A) for $2385.99. Unlucky us, each stock ran up at least 8% compared to my selling prices before we were able to rebuy them.

Nevertheless, these stocks, respectively, provide us with an additional $85.32, $82.96, $44.80 and $37.44 annually based on their most recent dividends. This brings our total dividend income up to $3729.37/year.
