I decided I didn’t have enough from the article I wrote last week about dividend reports. Last week, I knew I was opening a can of worm when I wrote that I don’t understand the importance of tracking my dividend income on a monthly basis. While the discussion was very interesting on this blog, I got crucified for blasphemy on Seeking Alpha when they republished my article (at least they thought it was good enough to be read! Hahaha!). Don’t worry, I’m not going to go back to this post to defend …
My Dividend Growth Portfolio
In 2016, I made a life-changing decision: I took a sabbatical, put my family in a small RV, and drove to Costa Rica. Upon my return in 2017, I officially quit my job as a private banker at National Bank and started working full-time on my baby: Dividend Stocks Rock.

I decided to invest 100% of this money in dividend growth stocks. In August 2017, …

But I’m finally back and this is behind me. After all, I just wrote a post about perseverance! In the good news department, my portfolio is …
4 US Stocks for Your RRSP Portfolio
The RRSP season is nearing its end (your last day for 2014 RRSP contribution is March 2nd 2015) and I thought I would go for 4 stock pick ideas. Since US dividend payouts are non-taxable in a registered account, this is the perfect place for Canadians to buy US stocks. Between you and me, even though the currency exchange rate is hurting your purchasing power, this won’t change this year and it could even get worse. So why not considering the great US diversification in dividend payers and go …
