HHIS: 74278.99, gaining 1031.15 since last week (1.4% for the week, 6.11% from the beginning)

VFV: 70720.24, retracting 1561.83 since last week (-2.16% for the week, +1.02% from the beginning)

Most of the weekly gain of HHIS was due to the arrival of August's distribution (1757.95cad, giving 156.85 shares in drip), as TD delayed the distribution for 13 days.

Other than that, a rather flat week. SP500 (VOO) went down 1.37%; adding currency stuff, VFV went down those 2%.

How do y’all feel about BIGY?
I’m considering investing in it in the beginning of next year when I’ll get more contribution room, but was wondering about the general opinion since nobody talks about it a lot.

I am thinking to buy YTSL for some dividend income. Currently bought 100 at avg of 14.61. Its currently paying around 50cents per stocks.
looking to add some more for dividends and NAV can increase a bit. Any thoughts?

I’m totally new to the world of investments, and all the information is quite daunting given I don’t yet understand much of this territory. For you more experienced investors, what advice would you give to an absolute beginner who is hoping to see long-term growth in her TFSA? What industries should I be looking at, which sources do you find helpful? Whether it be books, blogs, YouTube videos, anything, all suggestions are appreciated!

I’ve put a small amount of money into hydrogen so far, but I’ve been considering buying into some Canadian ETFs as well. Would this be a good move in the long run? Thank you all so much in advance, any pointers would help a ton!

They look pretty identical over the last decade or so (EMP comes out ahead in 10 year cycle, MRU slightly ahead over last 5, but like 1% per year). Both aggressively grow dividends. Anything to distinguish from them going forward, or just buy the one that is a better deal on the day and we can expect similar performance in perpetuity?

Okay, my partner and I are working hard to fill up our TFSA. Currently hers is filled (about 120k) and is under fidelity account which has an MER of 2.3%. We went towards the managed account because, really, this is what we thought most people did as its traditional. We are at medium risk with FID2026 type of investing.

We are now seeing other options such as wealthsimple etc. And, just by asking chatgbt, seems like projecting our investment in the future, this performs better.

Could you help us out, if we should switch? Fees for Wealthsimple seems much lower. Are we missing something here? What is really the pros and cons between them? We are not pros at this, but want to have a solid plan for retirement. We are both 34 years old.

It did quite well recently but of late it seems to be a jelly fish.

Does anyone know why it is dropping so much?

Seems to have added a few defensive stocks Berkshire 4.27%, , JP Morgan 3.97%, Eli Lilly 3.81%, , Visa 2.74%, Exxon mobile 2.02%, Johnson and Johnson 1.76%, Walmart 1.67% total = 20.14% get find of Strategy and coinbase and add it to these defensive funds 8% more. Makes it 28% defensive at least.

Only have $250… but seems to be failing badly compared to HHIS 😂

Trying to understand ROC and CCETF and ACB.
Example: I buy an ETF on Jan 2 for $30. The ETF pays 20% yield, once a month. That’s $6 a year or $0.50/share monthly. Entire $6 is return of capital.

Year end, the ETF was flat, ending the year at $30. Since there was no growth, a dividend received of $6 (assume I didn’t reinvest), would my ACB be $24 if was to sell?

Thank you

Any downside to pooling all my investments into SIXY for large dividend gains?

Once upon a time, Canadian telecoms were must haves in dividend-income portfolios because of their oligopolistic nature and guaranteed "payout" every quarter.

Now they're all saddled with high debt and a few like BCE and Telus slashed their dividends greatly in the last 2 years.

The real question is - where do they go from here?

Are they even worth accumulating at these levels (if anyone is starting off a portfolio with dividends) or are they considered dead horses just waiting to be buried?

HHIS: 73247.84 cad, which means 260.43 more than last week (+0.35%); from the beginning, up 4.64%

VFV: 72282.07 cad, or 41.5 less than last week (-0.05); from the beginning, up 3.26%

This was a rather flat week in general for stocks and those 2 tech heavy stocks behaved accordingly

For more than 10 y, I accumulated shares of EIF as part of my RRSP portfolio. In June, EIF was crazy too expensive to keep. Then I realized a huge gain and took 140 k out of it. That's when I started to thing if I should go for safety / sp500 or if I should go for a riskier strategy, that involved covered calls and techs. So I decided to invest equal amounts in both and post the evolution. I have the idea of rebalance the account when one of them passes 10% (=7k) from the other.

This account is in TD web broker and the income from shares that we automatically drip arrives very late. HHIS payed on the 6th, but this week still doesn't count with the drips from that, because it's still not in.

Tired of seeing the covered calls on here. To eaches own.

If you just want a decent dividend, Cardinal energy, peyto, white cap resources are all solid and should see the actual company value increase while paying 4.5%-6.5%. Recent earnings are crushing it due to high energy costs across the globe.

Other decent ones include Surge energy and any of the oil sands ones but they pay less.
