Last Tuesday, I published my top 5 US dividend growth stocks. Today, I'm coming back with my Canadian picks.

My Favorite Dividend Growth Stocks

Best Dividend stocks, Blog

Throughout the years, I’ve studied, researched and tried many different investing styles. Since 2010, I’ve become a dividend growth investor, but not the classic buy & hold guy. I divide my portfolio into two distinct sections: a core portfolio and a growth portion. The core portfolio looks like the classic dividend buy & hold with solid (and boring) companies. I expect to hold these companies for a very long time, if not forever. The growth portion is containing stocks with a strong …

DGB Financial Split Corp Explained Inside Out

Blog, Dividend Growth, Investing Strategy

Warning: I really wanted to name this article “Financial Split Corp Bashing,” but I thought it would be nicer if you read the words “explained” instead. Jokes aside, I find there are some major issues investors decide to ignore (or just don’t know) when they look at an investment paying a 14% yield. Starting with this kind of reaction: All right, how about we jump in a fairy tale book where I can invest all I have and get a 14% yield each year? How incredible is it? To be honest, not so …

A Common Investor Mistake Created by Warren Buffett

Blog, Investing Strategy

Throughout decades, the Oracle of Omaha gave lots of nuggets of wisdom to any willing to follow his path. One of its most repeated advice and one I follow religiously is “Invest only in what you know”. The …

April Dividend Income Report

Blog, Dividend Income Report

In September 2017, I received slightly over $100K as a result of the commuted value of my pension plan. I decided to invest 100% of this money into dividend growth stocks. Each month, I publish my results. I don’t do this to brag, I do this to show you it’s possible to build a portfolio during an all-time high market. The market will crash... eventually. In the meantime, I rather cash some juicy dividends! Portfolio holdings Numbers are as at May 1st 2018: Canadian portfolio …

A High Yield Portfolio? Only if You Meet Those 3 Criteria

Blog, Investing Strategy, Principles, Retirement

I’ve been fighting for many, many… many years. It has been an epic fight that started the day I switched my portfolio toward dividend paying stocks. When I started blogging about dividend growth investing, I was reminded several times by older investors that many of my picks didn’t mean anything to them. After all, who needs Disney (DIS) or Canadian National Railway (CNR.TO) with such low yield when you can buy Kinder Morgan (KMI) and Cominar (CUF.UN.TO). All right, I’m writing 2 two names in …
