Back in January, I started a power ranking over our Dividend Growth Index. The ranking was done purely based on my perception of each stock. Unfortunately, I couldn’t analyze all 24 stocks. This is why the ranking was not fair for all stocks (especially since I didn’t know all of them inside & out). I’m trying it again this month with a different method. I’m actually rating the 24 stocks according to my secret algorithm (I’m playing Google here ;-) lol!). But seriously …
What You Need To Know About ETF Investing
I obviously write a lot about dividend investing on this blog because this is what I do. I also have this recurring discussion with my best friend who rather prefers a mix of ETFs and Dividend Stocks as opposed to a nearly “perfect” dividend portfolio. I guess there will always be this battle between capital growth and dividend growth as well as asset diversification vs sector diversification (I told you I don’t like bonds, right?). I’ll leave these debates for …

Dividend Stock Battle Can Campbell Soup Flood Heinz Ketchup
Back in February, I pulled out the HZN Stock Analysis and ended-up with a mild interest for this stock. In fact, HZN does fit in a dividend portfolio if you are looking for stability with a relatively safe dividend payout. Considering its yield, I think it would please many investors. However, I don’t see much growth potential over the years to come and this is why I wasn’t that enthusiastic towards the stock. Today, I’m taking a look at Campbell Soup (CPB) to see if the soup …

A 100% Dividend Stock Portfolio is a Safe Portfolio
We are often under the impression that when we invest in the stock market, we are taking risks. The media doesn’t miss an occasion to remind us how the stock market crashed in 2008 and makes also sure to “advertise” on their premium spots every time investments drop by 10%. Considering it happens all the time, we are fooled into perceiving that the stock market is a risky place to invest our money. It gets even worse when we are about to retire since we count on our nest egg live the …

13 Biggest Losers That Could Make You The Biggest Winner
Would you pick stocks that are among the biggest losers? The recent debacle of SNC Lavalin (SNC) (aQuebec based engineer firm) made me think of this question. To make a long (and nebulous) story short; SNC recently declared an 18% drop in profit expectations due to “unexpected losses” and “miscalculations”. The last time we heard these terms inCanada, we were talking about Nortel (NT)… I’m not saying that SNC has not hired the right accountants and that their numbers are not …

What You Don’t Know about the Housing Bubble in Canada – That Will Scare You…
It’s been 4 years now since we were told it was upon us. And we are still waiting… Since we witnessed a huge housing crash in theUSAback in 2008, Canadians are praying to avoid this mess on their side of the border (as if you could avoid 200 elephants running towards you!). But so far, prayers have been heard by the mortgage lords and the Canadian housing market has been spared from a crash. In fact, besides a few heated markets that ran cold for a few months …
