Long term investing in 2019 – Canadian Portfolio

<div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">
<div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">
Back to the TFSA Account I have in Canada (American Roth Equivalent).<br />
This is an interesting account to me because, since I'm no longer a Canadian Resident, I can't inject any more fresh cash to this account. So, whatever it grows is from pure stocks appreciation, dividends and of course dividends reinvestments.<br />
<br />
<b>2019 was a good year.&nbsp;</b><br />
I failed to beat the TSX index for the first time, but the market was nicely up, so I don't really care.<br />

<b>2019 Starting Balance:</b> $33,121.27 <br />
<b>2019 Ending Balance:</b>&nbsp; $40,028.26<br />
<br />
<b>Performance:</b> <span><b>+20.8%</b></span><br />
<br />
The XIU Etf was, by comparison, up 21.8% for the year. I don't complain. It was a good year anyways.<br />
<br />
Here's the portfolio at the end of the year (2019)<br />

<b>Changes in the Portfolio:</b><br />
<br />
– Added to Enbridge (ENB.TO)<br />
<br />
– Added to Telus (T.TO)<br />
<br />
– Added to Suncor (SU.TO)<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Going Forward:</b><br />
<br />
I am fine holding all of the 11 names currently in the portfolio. This has become a very low maintenance account. Which I like. In
2020 I'll just add to existing positions, but it will depend on their valuations once I reach $500 in cash from dividends. So, I should make 3 purchases during the year.<br />
Thanks for reading!<br />
