Blog, Market Frenzy, Stock Analysis

Oh Boy Oh Boy! This market is making a lot of people nervous, huh? Considering what happened on the market over the past couple of weeks, I decided to do a “special edition” for my DSR Mike’s Buy List. Each month, we issue The Mike's Buy List for our DSR members. They get our best ideas for both U.S. and Canadian dividend stocks. The first Friday of each month, they receive our top 10 growth and top 10 retirement (yield over 4%+) investment ideas.

We can’t talk about a market correction yet

Blog, Dividend Growth, Investing Strategy, Market Frenzy

I understand that the latest market movements have made several investors quite nervous. You worked so hard to save money, you don’t want to see your nest egg melting away overnight. However, what is currently happening is insignificant. In fact, we really can’t even talk about a market correction yet. By definition, a market correction occurs when major indexes drop by more than 10% from their highest peak. We flirted with meeting this definition over the past couple of weeks, but we didn’t …

Blog, Dividend Growth, Market Frenzy

In capitalism, money flowing from borrower to lender is like the blood going through your …

Has your advisor called you recently?

Blog, Market Frenzy, Portfolio Building

The market is going up, you are making money; everybody smiles. I’ve worked in the financial industry for over a decade and this situation has struck me: when my clients were making money, they didn’t want me to call them. I’ve received one call from a client once telling me it wasn’t normal to make that much money in a short period of time. He invested 250K in November 2008 and was calling me during the summer of 2009… you can imagine what his 250K looked like back then… caching! During bull …

Dividend Stocks Horror Stories

Market Frenzy

Since we are Halloween, I thought of doing something different and highlight a few “horror stories” in the dividend investing world. Several investors wrongly think that investing in paying dividend companies is a safe move. That once their money is invested, they will continue to receive their check quarterly without any worries. Unfortunately, there are several companies that can’t keep up with their promises and this end-up in nightmares for investors. Here are a few stories I’ve followed …
