2013 Income

2013 was a great year for my investments. Although I am a buy and hold investor, I sold a few of my holdings for profit. I sold my shares of CN Rail, Exxon-Mobil, and Bank of Nova Scotia. I also sold a portion of my holdings in Crescent Point Energy and Pembina Pipelines. I do not list the transactions in my annual income or monthly account activity because the proceeds are reinvested.

The following is a list of income received from dividends and option premiums from January 1 - December 31, 2013
