Back in September, a group of dividend bloggers launched The Dividend Growth Index. This is a dividend portfolio of 24 stocks (US and CDN). Each quarter, we follow our picks and the overall portfolio results. By following our blogs, it allows you to track closely 24 great dividend stocks and how they perform over time. This is now our 2nd Quarter and we are already seeing some changes. Unfortunately, one of our participants, Wealthy Canadian, had to quit blogging …
TSX 60 Dividend Yield and Ex-Dividend Date
This is our monthly update on the TSX 60 dividend yield and ex-dividend date. Here are a few observations for this month: Have you seen Magna International (MG) soars during Q1? It’s up 40%! (I’ve picked it for my 2012 Best Dividend Stocks eBook back in January!) Both Loblaws (L) and Weston (WN) offer good dividend and low payout ratio. In addition to that, they are both linked together (Weston owns Loblaws). I’ve read a recent article …

Dividend Growth Index Ranking
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 …

TSX 60 Dividend Yield Ex-Dividend Date
I know you've been waiting for it once again ;-) The TSX 60 Dividend Yield and Ex-Dividend Date is always one of my most popular of the month. I think it's due to the amount of information you can easily find about the most important Canadian Dividend Stocks. This is an interesting moment for Canadian Stocks as oil price is surging (and so does the Canadian energy sector), Canadian Banks are, once again, about to announce millions of profit and there is this …
