Blog

I wanted to start the New Year off with a solid base. The recent discussions I've had with friends over the Holidays made me realize how sometimes we complicate our lives for nothing. After 13 years of investing for my own portfolio and working in the financial industry, I know that the “flavor of the month” is different each year, but it all comes down to the same problem: We all look for an efficient way to buy and sell our stocks Some will use the buy & hold strategy and others …

Here’s my Top 4 US Dividend Growth Stocks for 2016

Best Dividend stocks, Blog, Investing Strategy

At the end of 2014, I claimed I was bullish for 2015. It has been a tougher year than anticipated, mainly due to the China stock market crisis. Between June 12th and August 25th, the Shanghai 180 lost 43.4%. The North American markets usually don’t follow the Asian ones but this time, the panic wave hit all markets. Fortunately, we all went back to earth with the quarterly earnings in October. The US stock market recuperated all losses and as of the end of November (the time where I wrote …

Why Do You Think You Can Beat Professional Investors?

Blog, Principles

Did you know that 95% of portfolio managers don’t beat their index? How can you be better than them? I’ve been bombarded by such assumptions over the past 15 years as an investor. Imagine that professionals surrounded by scores of analysts doing research 7/24/365 and fueled by virtually unlimited amounts of cash to support their work, can’t beat the market most of the time.

How to Start Dividend Investing with Little Money

Blog, Portfolio Building

I was talking about investments with one of my friends last week and he mentioned something that made me think. He wasn’t at all interested in investments and told me that investing was only for people with lots of income. In other words; you need lots of money to start investing. Nothing can be further than the truth. Unfortunately, our education system is not conducive to teach us how to start investing (neither it is designed to help us balance a budget!). This is why thousands of people …

How Easy is Retirement Planning with Dividend Growth Investing

Blog, Dividend Growth, Investing Strategy, Principles, Retirement

One of the biggest issues we will face in the upcoming years is one of interest. In fact, we can say that roughly 90% of the population is in the same boat for this issue; we are on our own to plan our retirement. Fully funded pensions are more rare than Pandas in China and the Government provided pension is barely enough to buy ramen noodles once you have paid your rent.   Which kind of retirement are you planning? I don’t know about you, but I don’t plan on working my whole life. …

Dividend Reads for the Weekend

Best Dividend Posts of the Week, Blog

Hum… what can I say… I didn’t sell my house. Last week, I was almost 100% sure to close the deal, but the buyers didn’t move up by a penny from their original offer. Maybe they thought we were stuck between selling our house and doing our RV project… well they guessed wrong! After a night of calculation, I came up with another plan. I’m still leaving, but I’ll keep the house! I’ll explain you this next week! It was quieter on the blog this week, but not because I didn’t write. In fact, I have …
