Webinar: What Will Happen On the Stock Market in 2018?

Blog, Investing Strategy

I hope you had a great time with your friends and family and that you took some time off to enjoy the spirits of the Holidays. After spending one year on the road and celebrating Xmas on a beach, it was fun to jump in a snowball fight with my three kids this year! I particularly appreciate this time of the year as I always take a pause and think about what is coming up next year. Besides my personal reflections about my goals, I also do a deep review of the stock market and review which …

The Best of the Dividend Guy in 2017

Blog

While you are celebrating with your family or you simply enjoy the gentle snow falling on the street (the view from my home office is marvelous right now), well… I’m doing exactly the same!  I’m taking a week off from this buzzing world to play Lego with my little one, to cook with my daughter, and to (still) beat my oldest son at NHL 2018 (Gotta love the Preds with PK!). I’m then leaving you with the Best of the Blog separated in three categories: The end of my one year trip Between June …

November Dividend Income Report

Blog, Dividend Income Report

This is my second dividend income report and I must admit, I have started to enjoy doing it! I never realized the fun of calculating your monthly passive pay check. In fact, I was too busy focusing on growth to care about how much I made last month. Still, receiving almost $200 this month in dividend definitely made me smile! Portfolio holdings I started this pension portfolio in September with the sum of $108,760.02. As of December 1st, my portfolio shows a total value of $118,392.67 …

Blog, Personal Update, Retirement

Have you ever wanted to be rich? From how long I can remember, making money has always been part of my life goals. Don’t get me wrong, money is not that important in my life. I would actually trade all the money in the world to stay happy and healthy with my wife and three kids. But since everybody in my family is doing great (knock on woods!), I can concentrate on other things… like becoming millionaire. And you read it right; I have more than one plan to become millionaire by the age of 65. In …

Should You Pay for Investment Services?

Blog, Investing Strategy

Nope, this is not some kind of fake post to push my service down your throat. It is a real article discussing why you should or should not pay for investment services. You already know that I have a membership service and that I might be biased about this topic. But I don’t think I am. I’ve worked in the financial industry for 13 years and advised clients as a financial planner for 8 years. During all those years, I’ve had an ongoing discussion with my best friend about investment fees. His …

October Dividend Income Report

Blog, Dividend Income Report

Am I really doing this? After explaining why I dislike dividend income reports, I’m jumping on the train… But I decided to do it for one specific reason: I want to track my performance from scratch. In September, I started investing 100K in the stock market. This is the result of the commuted value of my pension plan. To be honest, I still don’t care about my monthly or quarterly dividend income. For me, tracking the money I receive in my brokerage account still has no value. However, I thought …
