In my latest article, I told you my little secret about selling any stock at the right time. In fact, it’s not about selling, it’s all about why you buy in the first place. When you purchase a stock, there must be specific reasons, an investment thesis, telling you this stock will help you reach your investing goals. When a company doesn’t comply with your investment thesis, it’s time to let it go. In order to give you a few examples of reasons to purchase a stock, I’ve listed a brief summary …

Since 2012, I’ve initiated a tradition on this blog. Each year, I make a selection of 20 U.S. dividend growth companies and 10 Canadian ones. The goal is to build two portfolios of strong holdings that will beat the benchmarks. I’ve always used the same benchmark for the past four years: VIG: Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF.

It is quite interesting to see how the Canadian stock market has recovered a very good part of its latest drop: Source: ycharts We keep reading pessimistic news, but the reality is otherwise. While the stock market plummeted by more than 20% compared to its previous peak, the “big hole” left by the oil price drop is now just a bump in the road. To be honest, I don’t really mind if the market is up or down by 20% for the past 12 months. In fact, I rather like focusing on what is coming …
