It’s been a while since I published my last dividend stock analysis. I got busy launching the Dividend Growth Index and beating the stock market with my dividend stocks. So today, I’ll be analyzing Intel (INTC) in which I bought shares a few months ago. So I’m obviously going to tell you how great the company is ;-). Just kidding, I’ll actually tell you why I bought them! INTC Company Profile If you have a computer, chances are that there is an “Intel Inside”. Intel (INTC) is …
Would You Invest Everything in a 6% Distribution Portfolio?
Recently, I received 2 emails from newsletter subscribers asking what I think about investing massively in Canadian REITs.

Dividend Growth Index Results

On a quarterly basis, each blogger will follow their stocks and may also comment on the portfolio as a whole. Since we just launched the index, I won’t be discussing the results after this first week but will rather talk about my 3 picks: Intel (INTC), Coca-Cola (KO) and National Bank (TSE:NA).
