Dividends from the stock market were a key motivator for me to start investing. In my view, if you make sound investments that generate additional income alongside dividends, you can eventually live off that dividend income without the need to sell assets. This approach not only provides financial security for yourself but also creates a lasting legacy for your children, giving them a financial advantage. Over the years, I’ve invested more than $600,000 in dividend stocks and continue to buy more, especially during market dips.
Hearing insights from seasoned investors who have successfully navigated market downturns is always reassuring. It can be challenging to see your portfolio fluctuate from gains to losses, but if you focus on high-quality companies and remain committed to your strategy, you'll be in a strong position to weather market volatility.
I completely agree, which is why I value working with an investment coach. Their specialized skills and deep understanding of risk management make it highly unlikely for them to underperform. Over the past two years, I’ve seen impressive gains of over $400K with the guidance of my investment coach.
Rebecca Lynne Buie has consistently been my top recommendation. She’s widely recognized for her expertise in financial markets and has a strong track record. I highly recommend her.
Thank you so much for the recommendation. I've always been intrigued by investing, and your message has truly inspired me. I'll look her up and reach out soon. Best wishes to you!
My portfolio doesn’t just cater to dividend stocks. I hold $VFIAX (S&P 500 index fund) in my Roth IRA and $VTI (Total Stock Market ETF) in my taxable brokerage account. Two of my largest holdings. The individual dividend stock positions all complement the index holdings.
Thats when you hire someone to manage your money. You need a (CFP) straight up! personally, I would invest in ETF's and also love investing in individual stocks.
I took charge of my portfolio but faced losses in 2022. Realising the need for a change, I sought advice from a fiduciary advisor. Through restructuring and diversification with dividend stocks, ETFs, Mutual funds, and REITs, my $1.2M portfolio surged, yielding an annualised gain of 28%.
I am grateful for your assistance. My finances have been in disarray, and I have experienced multiple losses in my 401k, IRA, and mutual funds. I hope that Grace Lorraine can provide me with the guidance needed to rectify the situation before it reaches a critical point. i saw her web on google after i searched her. name.
I’m not so new to investing and I’ve lost at least $70k trying out strategies I found in online tutorials. I would appreciate genuine recommendations on investments you have.
I do believe diversification plays a major role as regards getting positive results off the fin market, if you’re lacking financial knowledge, you’d want to get with an FA.
You know in the 70s it was much more easier. It’s quite trickier now that I can say. Those making returns are professionals for sure, it’s why I’ve been working with my adviser and broker thirteen months now. Building my portfolio for a good retirement.
You do seem to have something going. I do think it’s what I need. I’ve been scared after loosing so much. Would you recommend your broker ? If you don’t mind that is.
I’ve got to say, since getting with Amelia Sophie Woledge, my portfolio with an initial of €100k has grown eight times in the last 13 months. I know and understand now it’s no game of luck or gamble. Adequate and proper technical know how is more than required for positive results.
I started my 200k portfolio 2022 with SCHD, VOO, and VUG after watching one of your videos. In terms of share price, VOO is up! and VUG is doing even better. This year, I've tried to add some more assets but unfortunately facing a decline.
imho, you should consider working with a seasoned advisor to help maintain a balanced growth portfolio, it wont cost you more than the mistakes you're making now
The issue is most people have the “I will do it myself mentality” but not skilled enough. Ideally, advisors are perfect reps for investing jobs and at first-hand experience, my portfolio has yielded over 300%, since covid-outbreak to date, summing up nearly $1m.
I've shuffled through a few advisors in the past, but settled with Katherine Nance Dietz. You'd most likely find her basic info on the internet, she's well established with over two decades of experience
@CanadianFinancePro You're welcome, and it's a spin off company from TC Energy formed this October and it recently announced its first dividend of 7.5% or so.
Hi Bassem. My ex employer had a rrsp matching program and I had about 15k in total when the time I left. I opened a rrsp account with WealthSimple and the money has been sitting there since. What's your suggestion please? I appreciate it.
Hi Claire, every few months I make a video on my RRSP in Wealthsimple, I've been using their roboadvisors, so just letting them trade/pick my portfolio. Its been good over the last 4 years. Depending on your timeline, you can choose how risky you want to go, I'm going with 10 risk aka highest risk since I'm 20 years away. I personally wouldn't go 'safe' since that means low returns or even no returns.
@@Claire_flying interesting ok, I did a video last week on the top ETFs for 2025, you can check out VFV/VEQT if you want high growth, track your performance against the roboadvisors & see what does better. Alternatively, not sure how much time you want to dedicate, but you could options trading and sell covered call options on a stock? But I would want you to do something with SPY, so you'll need $60K before jumping in.
Tbh, its impressive, the growth over 5 years has been great, I can't believe they're able to maintain that dividend. I haven't done a deep dive of the financials to see if its sustainable & a good long term play, but let me take a look!
@@CanadianFinancePro thank you! I have them since the covid days so I'm doing well on them, but I wonder the same with recent quarters of decreased revenue, and if they can maintain this or is it time to exit.
I'm a rookie trader and haven't had much success yet - I've lost a significant amount of money trying out strategies from RUclips and other sources. If you have any tips or advice, I'd greatly appreciate it.
As a beginner, having a mentor is crucial for accountability and guidance. My CFA Shirley Mae Crisler is a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further... She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market..
TD Bank is a terrible recommendation. Why suggest TD over other banks when they are dealing with giant fines and a max allowable asset cap indefinitely in the usa from money laundering? Basically being banned from growth in the states.
TD isn't going to grow in the united states for probably a decade. They've been given a asset cap by the American government as punishment. So the only way to grow their stock price is canadian growth or random speculation. Maybe the stock price will grow a bit, but my point is there are other Canadian banks that don't have asset caps. Wells Fargo has an asset cap and it's stock price was flat between 2014-mid 2024. The cap is finally coming off next year leading to price speculation, but are you willing to wait 10 years for td stock to go up when there are other banks who will almost assuredly be growing?

Your advisor must be really good, how I can get in touch with them as my porfolio isnt doing well.
Grace Lorraine Austin maintains an online presence. Just make a simple search for her name online.

Glad you like them!

I personally dabble in stocks, and my first rule is survival before flipping for chunky gains. Be sure to know what the heck you're doing

What are your thoughts on UMAX AND HMAX ETFS? Thanks?
Good quality video, what do you think about the 'new' company SOBO?
Thanks, I'll have to take a look into it, I've never heard of it until now.
@CanadianFinancePro You're welcome, and it's a spin off company from TC Energy formed this October and it recently announced its first dividend of 7.5% or so.

Thanks Bassem for your genuine response. The funny thing is my TFSA is with WS robo advisors, so I'd like to try something different lol

I've heard of her before, but now I'm keen to learn more. How do I go about contacting her?
This is correct, Shirley's strategy has normalized winning trades for me also, and it's a huge milestone for me looking back to how it all started..
Yes, I agree with you. Her platform is wonderful, and her strategies are exceptional
It doesn't matter if you are a current holder or a newbie. You can capitalize on the fluctuation of Bitcoin by trading with good strategy/signals
Bro I love your videos , are you part of Blossom?
Thnx
I'm not, what is Blossom?
There are ETFs that way more and monthly, 15%+ YTSL, YNVD, FTN, UMAX
Hm, those are distributions, not dividends. If you look at FTN over 5 years, its down 80%. Higher yields are red flags sometimes.
I missed the 3 picks

What you think are gigantic fines are really drop in a bucket.
@@richardjensen9313 fines are ok. its the asset cap that is extremely troubling.
TD is a great long term investment TD. I’ve been buying the dip.
Long TD. Great historic growth
TD isn't going to grow in the united states for probably a decade. They've been given a asset cap by the American government as punishment.
