• The portfolio’s total yield on cost went down to 4.82%% (no change from July 2009)

General Comments

• I am continuing to be over exposed to AOD for total portfolio dividends. Although it is automatically getting reduced because I am not adding to my existing position. My exposure has reduced to 15.8% from January 2009 high of more than 20%.
• I am now tending to believe that I will not be able to meet my year end goal of $3000 in total dividends. Instead of revising, I am continuing to pursue it because, I am holding on to the cash waiting to be deployed.

Later this week, I will publish the quarterly risk analysis. The next monthly progress update will be on October 1, 2009.
