Moved money from my emergency fund to my RRSP, to complete my contributions for 2010. Liquidities also moved down because I paid back my credit card bill where the car repairs and new computer for Princess.

I'm still very busy, moving to another new project at work. This is taking me a lot of energy, as I'm learning another new business domain and the delivery schedule is quite tight. I barely have time to update my spreadsheets, let alone blog about them. But things are going well! That's one good thing about dividend investments and DRiPs -- once they're set up they run themselves for the most part.

Future blog posts that I plan on doing: Recent Dividend Increases, and My Portfolio in Details (maybe split in a series of posts).
