On June 4th 2017, I crossed the border of Canada around 7pm to come back home from a 1 year RV trip. I spent the most amazing year of my life with my wife and three children. For 12 months, I drove for over 35,000 km visiting 9 countries. We started our adventure in Quebec and [

Sell in May and Go Away… With such an overvalued market, I bet you thought about that old saying, didn’t you? After all, finding value in a stock market that has been running higher and higher for the past 9 years is called “mission impossible” by many investors. You might as well

One thing I enjoy the most about running an investing platform is that I get the opportunity to connect with thousands of investors. We can share ideas and their questions often leads to great article ideas. This is exactly what happened the other day when a member asked me my opin

Invest only in what you know, isn’t what billionaire and famous investor Warren Buffett is saying to beginner investors? I’ll admit it upfront before you want to throw me tomatoes; Warren Buffett is a smarter and better investor than I am (and probably than I will ever become). Thr

In September 2017, I received slightly over $100K as a result of the commuted value of my pension plan. I decided to invest 100% of this money into dividend growth stocks. Each month, I publish my results. I don’t do this to brag, I do this to show you it’s possible to build a port

I’ve been fighting for many, many… many years. It has been an epic fight that started the day I switched my portfolio toward dividend paying stocks. When I started blogging about dividend growth investing, I was reminded several times by older investors that many of my picks didn’t

Last week, I wrote about my plan C and D for retirement. I called them my “last resort” plans as they refer to the classic model of retirement; go to school, get a job, save for retirement, wait, get to 60 (or 65) and retire happy (or not). You know that drill, right? It’s a [̷
