Wow January was a tough month for the market but with all the downs my portfolio came off much better than what I had expected when I totaled everything up.
New Purchases: $900.19
- Bought 8 shares of Disney (DIS) at $99.03 each. This was in my IRA account.
- In my Loyal3 commission free account I bought 0.7236 shares of Coca-Cola (KO), 0.357 shares of Apple (AAPL), 0.2381 shares of Disney (DIS) and 0.1305 shares of Hershey (HSY)
Sales: $1606.03
- Sold 100 shares of Ruth’s Hospitality Group (RUTH) at $16.15. I was originally assigned these shares in May when my $15 Put was exercised. Total return for this trade including capital gains, dividends as well as Call and Put income that started in March is $210.14 or a 13.93% return.
Option Trades: $48.05
- Ford (F) – STO 1x Feb 2016 $13 Put at $0.72 x 100. This earned me $57.02 after commission. This is in my IRA account.
- Starbucks (SBUX) – BTC 1x Feb 2016 $65 Call at $0.04 x 100. This cost me $8.97 after commission. This is in my IRA account.
Dividends: $12.64
- Disney (DIS) – $9.80
- Viacom (VIAB) – $0.93
- Wal-Mart (WMT) – $1.67
- Nike (NKE) – $0.24
In 2015 I received $1.51 for this month. 2016 is a 737% increase!
Forward 12 Month Dividend Forecast: $521.72
Deposits: $1132.82
Investment Road to Freedom fund value:
The fund value stands at $43225.37 -0.70%
The breakdown of the individual accounts show
- 401k = $15434 -3.59%
- IRA = $16369 +2.50%
- Taxable = $7477 -4.81%
- Other = $1810 +10.23%
- EF = $308 +0.33%
- Lending Club = $526 -1.31%
- Loyal3 = $1298 +7.27%
A slight drop of 0.70% considering the month we have had is not to bad. I’m working on removing the Lending Club account. I’ve had a good return with it but I believe it works better in a IRA type account and I don’t want mine there. For this year I want to get my 401K, IRA and Taxable accounts all above $20k each which I think I can do. A year ago my fund value was $33,958 which is just under a $10K increase.
Credit Card Debt: $13455 -0.33%
Home Improvements on a 0% card. Working on this.
Car Loan: $20859 -2.10%

Summary:
Getting a Net Worth increase after this month was impressive! Despite the market being a difficult month there are a number of good things that happened – over $1k deposit, best January for dividends, debt all going down even if slowly and decent option income.
Hope everyone had a great month!
