6 Lessons I’ve Learned through 4 Years of Dividend Investing

Investing Strategy

    Four years ago, I bought this blog. This was my first move towards dividend investing. I started investing back in 2003 but my first dividend stock was bought in 2010. Over the past four years, I’ve worked on building my own investing philosophy (you can read about it here). My investing model didn’t appear overnight and it was the result of a long process.   What I really like about investing is that you are never done learning. There is always a new situation …

Monday Question: What happened to Helmerich & Payne (HP)?

Market Frenzy

    At the beginning of the year, I selected HP to be one of my best 2014 dividend stocks. Not long afterwards, I added HP to my portfolio. The company shows great metrics and meets all my minimum requirements in terms of revenue, EPS and dividend growth over the past 3 and 5 years.   This year's quarterly results continue to show strong growth and the future of the company looks bright.

The RV Project is Moving Forward

Retirement

    Before going on vacation, I wrote a piece about retiring at the age of 35. When I wrote this post (it was end of July), it was simply a crazy idea: I would sell everything, buy an RV and go with my family on a never-ending trip. This is definitely in the line of ERE (Early Retirement Extreme) and would require several sacrifices.   This post generated several comments and I thought I would continue my thinking out loud with you on this blog. After all, maybe I had …

Is There Growth Left Inside the Canadian Banks and Telecom Sectors?

Canadian Dividend Stocks

It’s not by luck that four out of the ten Best Canadian Dividend Stocks for the Next Decade come from these two sectors.   Both sectors are quite similar on many fronts. They both oligopolies, this is a mature market, but natural growth is still available and federal laws protect them from other competitors (mind you, it has become less protected …
