If you have been reading my blog since June, you must be familiar with my « On The Road » posts by now. I’m trying to consistently report on my journey across North and Central America. Many readers have inquired about a budget review of my trip. We took 2 years to prepare for this trip and the budget aspect was quite a challenge. I notice that most people are fascinated by how expensive such a year could be in one’s life. As I’m fairly transparent with my investments, I agreed to be as …
13 Companies to build a Dividend Growth Portfolio with 10 years to go
In my latest article, I’ve discussed the metrics I would use to make a selection of dividend paying companies if I had only 10 years to build my portfolio. The idea of using a shorter time horizon was to show how limited you could be if you only select companies that are currently paying an interesting dividend now.

They also caused lots of damage and worries to other investors due to lots of volatility. When most techno stocks arrived on the market prior to the techno bubble, we were talking about page views and visitors. The more you had, the more your company was worth.

Portfolio Update
Funny enough, I’m not the best guy around to update you on my own portfolio. I really like blogging about dividend investing, but I don’t talk too much about my own stuff. Once in awhile, I think it makes sense to share my portfolio with you (my portfolio page is currently up-to-date, yeah!). Instead of simply telling you how much I received in dividends, I’ll do a complete portfolio review with you. Investment Context An investment strategy is only good for a person if it meets its …
