Four Different Ways to Achieve Financial Independence

Blog, Retirement

Financial independence… this concept has been discussed on so many blogs that I rarely write about it here. I’ve been working on my own crusade to reach financial independence since I entered the workforce back in 2003. I previously dedicated an entire blog to the topic, had some good fun and made some money with it. Then, I decided to concentrate on my dividend investing blog thinking investors wanted to read about…. Investing! But it seems that I was wrong. I have discovered gradually that …

The Normality is Called Volatility

Blog, Market Frenzy

“The only thing that doesn’t change, is change itself.” I believe that when we came to this Earth, each of us was granted with a set of special gifts. Some are more obvious than others, but we all have our strengths and these are the cards we have been given to play with when we sit at the table. We can change a few, but the picture is pretty much the same. One of my “gifts” is the ability to interpret and understand how systems work. I understand how patterns work together and how I can …

Best Dividend stocks, Blog, Investing Strategy

The first quarter is now behind us and, funny enough, it has been quite a roller coaster of emotions. If you are like me and got lucky, you had some cash set aside to buy some bargains on the stock market. I personally made 5 purchases between January and February: Royal Bank (RY.TO) Agrium (AGU.TO) Union Pacific (UNP) 3M Co (MMM) Apple (AAPL) As you will see it on the following chart, there were 2 moments (one in January and one in February) where there was a panic feeling all over the …

Portfolio Update

Blog

Funny enough, I’m not the best guy around to update you on my own portfolio. I really like blogging about dividend investing, but I don’t talk too much about my own stuff. Once in awhile, I think it makes sense to share my portfolio with you (my portfolio page is currently up-to-date, yeah!). Instead of simply telling you how much I received in dividends, I’ll do a complete portfolio review with you. Investment Context An investment strategy is only good for a person if it meets its …

Investing in the Canadian Stock Market with Success

Best Dividend stocks, Blog, Investing Strategy

Who would have thought a beaver could run faster than an eagle? You might want to say that it’s only one quarter and that the Canadian stock market has been beaten up nicely by the US stock market for the past… well I don’t remember since when, but let’s just say that you should never bet against America ;-). If you still have doubt, let’s just take a look at how both markets have performed since the 2008 crash: Source: Ycharts But recently, the Canadian stock market has been showing some …
