Read more "Dividend Income Update December"November was an interesting month for the markets, with the election of Trump, there were some very pronounced gains in certain sectors of the US market.

May started out a little rough for major indices, but ended on a positive note. I did not find any good entry opportunities for my […]
Read more "Dividend Income Update May"April offered further gains through mid month and ended about the same as it started. It was not possible to find any good entry opportunities for my watchlist stocks. The major indices I track ended the month in three different ways (April 1-29): (S&P +0.27%, NASDAQ -1.94%, TSX +3.39%). I’ve actually avoided making any new stock […]
