Divestitures
As part of our RRSP meltdown strategy, I liquidated some shares in the following companies.

Dividend Income
The income from the holdings within the FFJ Portfolio is accessible here.
During October, the holdings within the FFJ Portfolio generated the following dividend income:
- 'Core' accounts: ~$2424 CDN and ~$1,008 USD
- 'Side' accounts: ~$2,557 CDN and ~$946 USD.
YTD dividend income is:
- 'Core' accounts: ~$18,260 CDN and ~$28,840 USD
- 'Side' accounts: ~$20,124 CDN and ~$16,558 USD
- YTD total: ~$38,384 CDN and ~$45,398 USD
Up until last month, I anticipated the FFJ Portfolio would generate ~$44,500 CDN and ~$58,500 USD of dividend income in 2022. The CDN figure is attainable but I will likely fall short of the USD amount by just under $1000.

Final Thoughts
That's it for now. My wife and I are off to our lawyer's office to sign off on the paperwork related to our real estate purchase.
