Dividend Reads for the Weekend

Best Dividend Posts of the Week, Blog

This week, I started to look for renting a villa in Costa Rica just to see what my life will look like in December 2016 when I will enter this country for a 3-4 months trip. I must say I was quite excited to see what I can afford! This week, I’ve covered the situation in China with my post about Leverage being just an illusion. Then, I shared how I use the 80/20 rule in all aspects of my life. I also wrote 2 stocks analysis: Can You Believe there is a 30% Rebate on …

The Pareto Principle Used at Work, at Home and on my Investing Strategy

Blog, Investing Strategy, Principles

I first discovered this principle a long time ago when I was doing my bachelor’s degree in Finance. While I spent more time playing Tetris than listening to my teachers, I remembered I stopped everything to listen to this part of the class.

Financial Preparation for our RV Trip

Blog

Almost every week, I’m trying to update you with what we have done so far with regards to our 12 month RV trip across Central and North America in 2016. So far, very few people around me know about my project. Besides my family and close friends, nobody is aware of what we do.

BoardWalk Vs Rio Can

Blog, Stock Analysis

Since the Canadian interest rate environment will continue to be as exciting as a worm race across the garden, I thought of revisiting a two very popular Canadian REITs. Boardwalk REIT (BEI.UN) RioCan REIT (REI.UN) Canadian REITs have been a strong source of steady income for investors for several years. While they don’t show spectacular stock price growth or even dividend payment growth, this asset class is still a must for all conservative and income seeking investors. For example, both …
