Last year, I’ve set some pretty ambitious goals. In fact, some of them were just plain unattainable. But I did it on purpose. When I set my goals last year, I was in Costa Rica and just finished reading for the third time The Four Hour Workweek (definitely my bible!). In this book, Tim Ferris suggest to set unrealistic goals. The idea is that if you setup reasonable goals, you will simply work a little to achieve them. Therefore, your chances of failing are quite high (just think about your past …
Webinar: What Will Happen On the Stock Market in 2018?
I hope you had a great time with your friends and family and that you took some time off to enjoy the spirits of the Holidays. After spending one year on the road and celebrating Xmas on a beach, it was fun to jump in a snowball fight with my three kids this year! I particularly appreciate this time of the year as I always take a pause and think about what is coming up next year. Besides my personal reflections about my goals, I also do a deep review of the stock market and review which …

The Best of the Dividend Guy in 2017
While you are celebrating with your family or you simply enjoy the gentle snow falling on the street (the view from my home office is marvelous right now), well… I’m doing exactly the same!

After spending the first six months outside of the comfort of my house, I spent the last six building my business after I quit my 6 figure paying job. And this is only the beginning. But, before I tell you what is happening next year, I want to quickly come back tell you about 2017… The most amazing month of my life In March 2017, I went through the most crazy-incredible-marvelous 30 days of my …
Don’t Speculate and Wait for the Facts
Sometimes it will be too late, but better be late than sorry… Last week, I experienced another premiere as a financial author; I got my first live interview on a Cheddar TV, a live streaming financial news network. All I can say is wow… this moves fast! I recently started to do live webinars (you can register to my newsletter if you want to know when I do them), but being interviewed is a whole different ball game. The difference? You don’t control where the discussion goes. At least, not when …

What is the Importance of Past Data in Your Investment Process?
On Tuesday, I explained how I intend to grow a 192K portfolio into 1 million before I retire. After over a decade spent in working, researching and investing in the stock market, I feel well confident that I can make it happen. A fellow blogger, Dividend Geek, pointed out a very interesting question: How we use past data to predict future (without taking into account macroeconomic trend, e.g. AMZN) baffles me. While we picking dividend growers, are we not again relying on past data? Past …
