The Most Boring Part of Dividend Growth Investing

Blog, Dividend Growth, Investing Strategy

I can recall the face of my assistant when I was dancing around the printer, waiting desperately to read those quarterly reviews. A pile of numbers, charts and a good coffee and I was the happiest man on earth. Wow… this is boring! She kept telling me. I don’t know why, but I’ve always been passionate about numbers and how they work together, especially when there is a dollar sign in front of them. I will never write it enough on my blog; the secret of investing is a solid plan. The problem …

Dividend Cult Vs ETF Cheerleaders – Try Smart Investing Instead!

Blog, Investing Strategy

Since returning  from our year-long trip across Central and North America, my wife and I have cut down on our TV time. We cut the cable and rely only on Netflix for the few hours we spend per week watching TV. We would rather do other things during our evenings like playing Scrabble or reading. I’ve found it keeps our brain fresh and I have more energy throughout the entire day. On Tuesday night, we were having a very intense Scrabble game. I just started the game with a 7 letter word on my …

Trading on Hope is a Bad Thing; Look at What Happens to GE

Dividend Growth, Investing Strategy, Principles

I am telling you upfront, this is not the 147th article about GE and its restructuration strategy. However, I will use this example to discuss a fundamental lesson about investing. Trading on hope is a bad strategy. Without a strong investment thesis, buying a stock in the hope that the company will turn on the heat and become a leader again is rarely a good move. At the beginning of the year I listed the reasons why I think General Electrics (GE) is a bad investment. Many investors told me I …

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.

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 …

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 …
