When a dividend / interest payment is made, the redline drops (Globefund tracks the cash portion separately from the portfolio for some reason). When the cash is reinvested, the redline goes up. Since the portfolio is made of ETFs, the distributions are held in cash until reinvestment. Sampson: I use Globefund.com to track the Sleepy Portfolio.

Since there are no additional inputs and I'm assuming no withdrawls, shouldn't the redline (amount invested) remain flat at $100k? Are dividends/distributions considered either in the portfolio return or the amount invested lines? If so, are they held as cash, or reinvested? CC: This is still a little confusing.

A lot of readers requested that I track a smaller couch potato portfolio to which regular investments are made. I call it the Sleepy Mini Portfolio to which I add $1,000 every three months. Sorry for the confusion :) DGI: This update is on the original Sleepy Portfolio, which started out as an investment of $100K (Canadian) and I’ve been tracking since early 2005.

Why is the amount invested fluctuating between 95,000 and 100,000? I thought you were supposed to be adding $10K at the beginning of each january? Am I missing something?
