Since 2012, I’ve initiated a tradition on this blog. Each year, I make a selection of 20 U.S. dividend growth companies and 10 Canadian ones. The goal is to build two portfolios of strong holdings that will beat the benchmarks. I’ve always used the same benchmark for the past four years: VIG: Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF.

Back in August, I wrote an article about why I think we are entering a new bull market. One of my premises was the fact that the US economy is holding steady and will continue to grow. The unemployment rate remains low, gasoline prices remain relatively low encouraging consumers to buy more and companies are benefiting from very low interest rates. The American Consumer is the key to the U.S. economy and also the key for global growth at the moment. If people have jobs, money in their bank …

If you are reading this blog from time to time, you are definitely interested in dividend investing. The idea of buying shares from a company and receiving a check every quarter is at the center of many investor strategies. The idea is quite simple: you select a group of elite companies paying dividend regularly. You buy and hold shares of those companies for several years. After a while, you realize you receive bigger checks each quarter which you can reinvest into your portfolio. Once retired, …
