15 Lessons from 15 Years of Dividend Growth Investing

15 years into dividend growth investing, Mike looks back on the lessons that shaped his strategy, his portfolio, and his mindset. This is a practical reflection on what actually matters over the long run: having a process, avoiding common traps, managing risk with intention, and focusing on business fundamentals instead of noise.

8 Stocks Trading at Their 52-Week Low

Beaten-down stocks can look like obvious bargains… right up until they turn into value traps. We walk through eight names trading near 52-week lows, explaining what’s attractive, what’s broken (or feared), and how to judge whether a drop is a real opportunity—or a warning sign.

6 Stocks with Dangerous Free Cash Flow Trend – Should you Sell them or Buy More?

Free cash flow is one of those metrics that can panic investors fast—especially when it trends down for several years. Using six well-known stocks, we show you how to read a declining free cash flow chart with context: when it’s a temporary byproduct of heavy investment, and when it’s the business model getting squeezed.

Telus Earnings Deep-Dive: Is it a Buy?

This episode is a numbers- and strategy-focused deep dive into TELUS, right as earnings drop. Mike explains why TELUS used to be an attractive mix of a telecom cash cow plus “tech-like” growth segments—but why that story has become far less convincing.

Big Boom in Construction (Stocks to Buy)

Housing starts may be slowing down in 2026, but construction activity isn’t dead—it’s shifting. We look to the broader construction ecosystem and highlight where the real growth drivers (and traps) are hiding.

5 Years Later, is Investing in CDRs Worth It?

CDRs were pitched as a simple way for Canadians to buy U.S. (and now a few international) stocks in Canadian dollars—with built-in currency hedging.

Five years after their launch, we revisit what CDRs actually are, what they do well, and why the “convenience” story often comes with a price tag investors don’t fully see.

Crunchy Tax Optimization Questions

Today, we focus on the tax moves that actually matter (and the ones that waste your time), especially if you’re sitting on big unrealized gains in a non-registered account. The big takeaway: build your plan and investment strategy first—then optimize taxes, not the other way around.

4 Tech Stocks Immune to the AI Bubble

In this episode, Mike and Véronique dig into what an AI bubble could look like, how it compares to the dot-com era, and four large-cap tech names that should be able to take a hit without having their long-term story derailed.

Popular Stocks I Dislike

Some stocks are loved by most investors—but not by Mike. We unpack a few “top holdings” from the Dividend Stocks Rock member list and explain why popularity doesn’t automatically equal portfolio quality.

About Mike

Since 2003, Mike has been 100% invested in equities. He shifted his entire portfolio into a dividend growth investing strategy in 2010. Mike worked in the financial industry for several years, including 5 years as a certified financial planner and 5 years as a private banker. He decided to leave the corporate banking world at age 35 because his ultimate goal was to help more investors succeed. In 2013, he founded Dividend Stocks Rock, a service that now guides around 3,000 investors down the path of success using a Dividend Growth Investing model. He is followed by over 55,000 people and counts 13,000+ webinar attendees to date.

About Vero

Vero completed her Communications college degree in 2007. During the first years of her career, she mainly worked in the marketing field for a newspaper and a large high-end furniture store, where she learned to adapt to the fast-changing advertising world. In 2010, she made the bold move of working in the “blogosphere” alongside Mike. This life-changing decision opened the doors of dividend growth investing for Vero. She quickly turned into Mike’s second brain and has held the Core Business & Marketing Manager position since the foundation of Dividend Stocks Rock in 2013. Throughout the years, she has discovered a high interest in investing and believes in investors’ empowerment.
