Ideally, we wanted to bring our ratio 80/20 between dividend and growth stocks. However, our growth stocks were doing much better than our dividend stocks; therefore our ratio at the end of January 2021 was 60/40 between Dividend and Growth stocks.
In January 2021, there were total 23 transactions (6 sells and 17 buys). The total amount of the 6 Sell transactions were $38,605. The 17 buys cost us total amount of $84,785.
