@@gcmoney You got it buddy! I have already filmed footage of me opening a new account with Questrade so that video will probably be coming out in the next few weeks =)
I'm watching 1-3 videos a day (so I don't overload on info all at once), taking notes and making my own spreadsheets with my personal numbers along the way! I actually get excited to watch everyday! You make the stock market easy and clear to understand, and also fun and not intimidating. Its an incredible skill and you're teaching me a language I never thought I'd speak! Everytime I have a question throughout the day, I think to myself, "No worries, I'll go see what my good friend Adrian has to say, I'll be fine!" 😂😂😂🤙
Thank you so much Sarah for those kind words! I really appreciate that and I'm so happy to hear that you are finding so much value (and taking notes) from my videos! Keep it up and never stop learning! 😁
As a fresh college graduate, who had very little prior knowledge about the stock market & finance in general, your videos have helped me a lot. Last year was very challenging because I couldn't find a job in my field, which made me think about how important it is to diversify my income sources. I'm just sad that I just found your channel. But like they say, it's never too late. Thank you so much. You have gained a "long term" follower :D
Thank you Navkiran! I really appreciate those kind words and I'm so glad you found my channel! 🙏 It's never too late to make a change and find ways to diversify your income! I appreciate your support and I hope my videos continue to provide value for years to come! =)
Thanks buddy! I've only been on UA-cam for a year so I'm just grateful for the growth and community that I have so far but I am excited to see where we go from here! =)
New subscriber and I'm beyond happy to have found your channel! You make a tough topic easier to understand and consistently present relevant information. Thank you!
Thank yoU! I finally understood what Dividend Yields mean now! And I'm so happy you don't just tell people to look for certain metrics but you also show where to find them! Thanks a bunch!!
Absolutely love your channel. I went from knowing nothing about stocks and the stock market to an almost expert. Thank you so much for explaining everything so well!! I’ve learnt more from you than I have in all my years of schooling
I watched 100+ videos on dividends and none of the UA-cam Investment Gurus with their 100k plus subscribers couldn't explain it clearly. This guy is just amazing, straight to the point, super clear and shows all the numbers that actually make sense. Thank you so much , keep up the good work.
Wow! Thank you Ivan!!! That is certainly high praise! I really appreciate those kind words and I'm happy to hear that my videos were helpful and to the point! I hate wasting anyone's time, including my own! =)
I could not be more grateful for your videos, you're truly amazing. I've been trying to understand investing for months and was so confused by all the information I was getting on the internet or at my bank (0.1% interest.. that doesn't seem right 😂). I went through a dozen of you're videos so far and gosh you do make sense, it is so satisfying and interesting to finally understand how everything works and you really make it enjoyable to learn. Again a big thank you from Montreal !

Hi Adrian, your videos are mostly talking about buying stock, but what about selling? For example, when would you recommend we sell stocks included in a TFSA (when they are at their highest peak, or perhaps we should gradually transfer those stocks to safer investments such as bonds or other?). In general, it's hard to find information out there on selling strategies (lots of buying strategies, but at some point, you want to get that cash right?). I would also add, about the DIVIDENDS EXPLAINED video: wouldn't you agree that there is a higher risk into using a DRIP instead of cashing out your dividends? By using a DRIP, you are assuming the company will never go away, but also putting a lot of money into it. Just a thought. Thanks so much for all the great videos! You have a talent for breaking down complex stuff into simple, awesome job!
Hi Adrian, I like your videos a lot. I have learnt a lot of investment concepts. Thanks a bunch! Can you please release investment videos for Non-residents in Canada?
Most of my videos are relevant for everyone around the world although I do emphasize the CANADIAN implications of investing and taxes. I don't want to talk about things that I don't have personal experience with which is why I avoid things like US taxation =)
Thank you so much for those kind words! I'm glad you found this video helpful and make sure you watch the rest of my MILLENNIAL INVESTING GUIDE (green coloured thumbnails) 🙂
Hey, a Canadian in my favorite trilogy's t-shirt! Thanks again for the video Adrian! Whenever you have time in the future I would love to see a video on high dividend US stocks/ETF's you'd recommend.
Great Scott!!!! 😎 You're the first person to mention the T-shirt! You got it buddy, I'm working on my next video on the best US Dividend stocks as we speak! I've gotta reply to a few dozen comments and then I'll make like a tree, and get outta here 😆
well explained.thank you. can you also do some videos about the hidden charges of the banks,pros and cons.which one is better?financial advisor or do it yourself?
Absolutely! I will be making a whole video on different options you have to start investing! And when it comes to personal banking, I'll also be making a list on the best chequing and savings accounts! =)
It's important to point out that in order to avoid the foreign withholding tax on US dividends you must buy US-listed US-only (not including international) stocks/ETFs and hold them in an RSP account. Dividends from Canadian listed ETFs holding US stocks still get taxed even in RSP.
You're absolutely right, I went over the US Withholding taxes in both my TFSA and my RRSP investing videos, check them out! ua-cam.com/video/gcYlQl6hF6w/v-deo.html
Thanks buddy! I haven't made a video yet on preferred shares because I don't personally invest in them. But that might change in the future and if a lot of people are interested, I could definitely make a video about it =)
You got it buddy! I'll be making a WHOLE series on Real Estate investing and I will definitely be talking about the tax advantages that come with it! =)
I think we need another in-depth video on dividends: possibly exploring dividend irrelevancy and a case against irrelevancy (stock price doesn't matter only number of shares matter). Irrelevancy: When a dividend is paid, the value of your share goes down by the dividend amount. And in a market downturn your stocks will be falling that much further with the payout of dividends; and having it in a DRIP is essentially 1) buying back what you just sold 2) having the dividend stock function as a growth stock. And if you did not cash out your dividends between two lows (@3:35) and instead had your dividends cycling through a DRIP, then you'll also end up with no gain between those times. An argument for dividend relevancy would have to be: through DRIP you can buy more shares since the number of shares is what truly matters. I like dividend stocks for the convenience of choosing whether I want it to act like a growth stock with the added bonus of buying more shares or use the dividends as income for living or buying other stock especially in a downturn - now that's where dividends in a down market can come in handy. Is any of this thought process incorrect, let me know.
Wow thank you for those kind words! I was actually a high school / university tutor for many, many years so I'm sure I picked up at least some teaching skills along the way =)
Thank you for so many great videos! Just subscribed your channel. Have watched many youtube tax and investment videos, you are by far the best! Easy to understand and lots of great tips! Thanks again and keep up the great work!
@@CanadianTShirt Thank you for the reply. By the way, I watched your how to file tax through turbo video, will you be providing any tutorials on how to file tax for self employed and stock investments?
Absolutely! Do NOT blindly chase after high yield dividends. Dividend sustainability and a history of INCREASING dividends is a MUCH better approach! =)
Canadian in a T-Shirt Trust me they are very helpful, is there any chance you can do more videos about Canadian stocks please? For example Canadian Tire, Loblaws , CAE Inc and HMMJ ETF
Thanks Rosa! You bet I will! I'll be making a video where I go over how every form of investment is taxed and which types of investments should go into which type of account: TFSA vs RRSP vs Margin. Stay tuned for that! =)
Hello , I have a question, which is the best idea to invest in dividends, in the Celi or in the REER? Which one has the most advantage when it comes to obtaining profits, thank you very much
Thank you Bella for those kind words! I really appreciate that 🙏 I actually worked / volunteered as a tutor for about 7 years so I guess that's where I developed this skill =)
You got that right! In fact in the US, REITs are required to payout more than 90% of their income to investors to be eligible for tax exemptions! Canada isn't quite so strict but even so, a lot of Canadian REITs have very high payout ratios
Just curious why you suggest to first invest in your TFSA before the RRSP? If you still have RRSP room would it make sense to invest there to take advantage of the tax break?
Ideally you want to max out BOTH your TFSA and RRSP but for most people, especially beginners the TFSA is the easier one to start with since it's more flexible and far less complicated. Make sure you check out my RRSP Explained videos (both of them): ua-cam.com/video/bKMNgnMBSdE/v-deo.html I got over how the RRSP tax deduction works and why you shouldn't necessarily claim your RRSP deductions right away, especially if you are in a smaller tax bracket. Check it out! =)
@@CanadianTShirt Thanks for replying back and considering my request. ur channel is very good . The way u explained the TFSA, RRSP and credit cards gave a great knowledge for beginners like me who are new in Canada.. keep up the good work
Great video again! Hope you can do video on dollar cost averaging investing in ETFs. And probably a ideal rrsp and tfsa etfs, bonds and stocks from your perspective...
Hey Vishant! Sorry for the late response! I have covered Dollar Cost Averaging in detail in my video here on BUY THE DIP: ua-cam.com/video/h9G1CV-oujI/v-deo.html
So for ETFs on the other hand, diviend amount won't ever be the same every quarter however... Right? If it's a "broad index" type ETF it'll be dependant on companies/securities held within the ETF so you can't really ever know what the actual amount you will be getting monthly or quarterly?
That's correct. For most ETFs, the distribution (basically a dividend) amount depends on the performance of the dividends contained within the fund so they can vary quarter to quarter but even so, they are usually fairly consistent since it's unlikely for all of the stocks to change their dividend in such a short time frame. Of course some ETFs only track a very small number of stocks, so these would definitely be more susceptible to fluctuating dividends. There are also some dividends which do enforce a consistent dividend throughout the year and then at the end of the year, they either increase or decrease the final dividend to make up for the difference. Excellent question! =)
Thanks for the tips man! One question, If I made a profit from one of the stocks in my TFSA, is that a capital gain? Do I report that in my taxes? Or whatever you make in TFSA won't get taxed?
Nope! You do NOT report this at all since any profits you make in a TFSA is tax-free! Make sure you check out my TFSA Explained video =) ua-cam.com/video/i_bWf1NyUbE/v-deo.html
Another awesome video Adrian. Clear, simple and straight to the point. How do you track your dividends payouts? is it manually or is there a way to automate that?
I already have 3 videos where I analyze stocks and ETFs that I recommend and personally own so check those out! ua-cam.com/play/PLj8bU3AuW2qFD4sCsCxXdaAADlyiP8bqB.html I'll be working on more stock analysis videos in the future including the US Dividend stocks next week! =)
Great videos! Just found your channel and subscribed immediately. As a very new investor I never really considered the importance of earning dividends, particularly when you can just automate the process to purchase more shares. Question (hopefully not too basic): for new investors with a decent start sum as well as monthly contributions, would you recommend going with one of the ETF's you mentioned in the video on June 6th because of dividend earnings, or something along the lines of VGRO? Does it make a big difference when one is starting out? I am going to start by using WealthSimple and then possibly move to Questrade once I am a bit better versed in the industry... not sure if that makes a difference in your answer. Sorry to repeat questions across videos, not sure which comment section you check more frequently. Thanks again for all the great content! Keep up the great work.
Thank you for subscribing and welcome to the channel! 😁 It's hard to tell you the best course of action because it depends on so much: your income, savings, your age, your goals, risk tolerance, time horizon, how much TFSA and RRSP room you have etc... But for most Canadians, I would recommend investing in some of the dividend ETFs I talked about in my past video: ua-cam.com/video/hXrN5EVCp8Y/v-deo.html These Canadian ETFs give you great passive income through dividends all while giving you great diversification across the Canadian market and if you hold them in your TFSA, you don't pay ANY taxes on the income you make! VGRO is a great all-in-one ETF and it's a great option for people who want to be totally hands-off. Just put money into VGRO and it automatically does all the decisions for you. For me personally, I would rather have more control of my money. I want to know how much money goes into bonds, international equities, dividends vs growth, etc so I don't use VGRO. A lot of my investments are contained within VGRO but I buy them in different proportions and I hold those investments in different accounts to maximize my tax efficiency. Both WealthSimple and Questrade are GREAT platforms for Canadian investments but do NOT use WealthSimple for US investments because they do not allows you to hold USD and so they charge you a currency conversion fee for every transaction. I talk about this problem in this video: ua-cam.com/video/CuVqfQomSPc/v-deo.html I know I threw a lot of info at you but I hope it was helpful! =)
I personally don't invest in options and I don't recommend it for beginners. It is far more complicated and risky than buying and holding stocks and ETFs. If you don't know what you are doing, it is MUCH easier to lose money so don't blindly jump into it. Maybe in the future, I might play around with options but for now, I only want to make videos on things which I have extensive, personal experience with. I hope that helps! =)
my goodness, I've been on yt for the past hour trying to understand the difference between payout ratio, yield, div and how to figure out if a company pays out their dividend monthly or quarterly or yearly and NOTHING I only got more confused. You swoooop in and BOOM! you made Gazelle version 2.0! She knows all about dividends! THANK YOU YOU ARE THE BEEEESSSTTT #only46.7Kleftto100Ksubs
Thank you Gazelle!!!! For future reference, if you are ever confused about something, do a quick search on my channel first and see if I have a video about it! 😁
It's true that Enbridge's payout ratio is high but I talk about this exception in my updated Canadian Dividend Stocks video here =) ua-cam.com/video/_UBlF1WDvNo/v-deo.html
Great video,very well explained. Are the dividends taxed, in other words let's say we get dividends for the investment,do we need to pay tax for the dividends.Please comment.
In a non-registered account, ANY form of income is taxed so that includes dividends, DRIPs and capital gains. You will have to pay taxes on this when you file your taxes. But in a tax-sheltered account like the TFSA or RRSP, dividends are tax free! =)
Great information, thank you! I was wondering if you can do a video on where to see your total amount of dividends in your account and the process of withdrawal if I’m the case the person would like to withdraw some of their dividends after a 10 yr period.
Absolutely! I will be making more Questrade tutorials but to see a history of your dividends go to Reports -> Account Activity and then you can see a list of all transactions, and you can filter to see only dividends =)
Market value! The book value only pertains to YOU. It's how much money you have put into the stock. The market value is the current value of the share and this affects everyone =)

Is any of this thought process incorrect, let me know.
great education video. what do you think about FRO, DHT, stocks, they pay very good dividends and that also a pay out ratio below 70%
Hey Raj! Those aren't stocks that I own directly so I will have to do my own research and get back to you =)
Yes to dividend investing!! Keep up the great content!!
Thanks Paris! One of my favourite things in life is receiving dividends, it's the best! =)
@@CanadianTShirt haha totally agree!
A great detailed and informative video as usual, not sure what you do for a living however a lecturer would suit you just fine. Thank You!
Wow thank you for those kind words! I was actually a high school / university tutor for many, many years so I'm sure I picked up at least some teaching skills along the way =)
Great video!!! Love it
Thank you Samuel! I'm happy you found it helpful! =)
Thank you for so many great videos! Just subscribed your channel. Have watched many youtube tax and investment videos, you are by far the best! Easy to understand and lots of great tips! Thanks again and keep up the great work!
Thank you so much Jennifer for those kind words! I really do appreciate that and I'm so happy to hear that my are finding my videos useful! =)
@@CanadianTShirt Thank you for the reply. By the way, I watched your how to file tax through turbo video, will you be providing any tutorials on how to file tax for self employed and stock investments?
Dividend growth has historically been a much better measure of income generation than dividend yield
Absolutely! Do NOT blindly chase after high yield dividends. Dividend sustainability and a history of INCREASING dividends is a MUCH better approach! =)
Very helpful, thanks! :)
Thanks Evan! I'm glad you found it helpful! =)
Love your videos !
Thanks Shawn! I'm glad my videos are helpful! =)
The video I’ve been waiting for!!!
Thanks buddy! Long time, no see! =)

It's my pleasure Shadi! I'm just happy to know that my videos are helpful! =)
Canadian in a T-Shirt Trust me they are very helpful, is there any chance you can do more videos about Canadian stocks please? For example Canadian Tire, Loblaws , CAE Inc and HMMJ ETF
Really great info!
Thanks buddy! I appreciate that! =)
Awesome, It’s been awhile Adrian!✌🏼
Thanks buddy! It's great to be back! The past few weeks have been incredibly overwhelming but I should be back to my weekly schedule going forward! 😁
Canadian in a T-Shirt Ikr, I got really busy too. Good to hear you’re back, looking forward for those weekly sched!🤙🏼
i learned so much.
Thanks buddy! That's what I love to hear! =)
Thank you another excellent video!!! Could you please make a video about taxability in a margin account?
Thanks Rosa! You bet I will! I'll be making a video where I go over how every form of investment is taxed and which types of investments should go into which type of account: TFSA vs RRSP vs Margin. Stay tuned for that! =)
Hello , I have a question, which is the best idea to invest in dividends, in the Celi or in the REER? Which one has the most advantage when it comes to obtaining profits, thank you very much
You are such an awesome teacher! You really have a gift for explaining things
Thank you Bella for those kind words! I really appreciate that 🙏
I actually worked / volunteered as a tutor for about 7 years so I guess that's where I developed this skill =)
@@CanadianTShirt
You are very humble. Keep up the good work! 👍
Great content again👍
Thanks buddy! I appreciate that! =)
Also, with REITS, having a high payout ratio (>80%) is fairly common and acceptable!
You got that right! In fact in the US, REITs are required to payout more than 90% of their income to investors to be eligible for tax exemptions! Canada isn't quite so strict but even so, a lot of Canadian REITs have very high payout ratios
Just curious why you suggest to first invest in your TFSA before the RRSP? If you still have RRSP room would it make sense to invest there to take advantage of the tax break?
Ideally you want to max out BOTH your TFSA and RRSP but for most people, especially beginners the TFSA is the easier one to start with since it's more flexible and far less complicated. Make sure you check out my RRSP Explained videos (both of them):
ua-cam.com/video/bKMNgnMBSdE/v-deo.html
I got over how the RRSP tax deduction works and why you shouldn't necessarily claim your RRSP deductions right away, especially if you are in a smaller tax bracket. Check it out! =)
Hi
Can u make a video on how to read reports or what to look for mainly in quarterly or annual reports
You got it! I'll be making a video soon where I do a walkthrough of the steps I take to research a stock before I invest! =)
@@CanadianTShirt Thanks for replying back and considering my request. ur channel is very good . The way u explained the TFSA, RRSP and credit cards gave a great knowledge for beginners like me who are new in Canada.. keep up the good work
Great post about Dividends. Consistent dividend growth investing has shown to produce good long term results
You got it buddy! That's the name of the game! =)
Thank you so much got it .
My pleasure! I'm glad you found it useful! =)
Great video again! Hope you can do video on dollar cost averaging investing in ETFs. And probably a ideal rrsp and tfsa etfs, bonds and stocks from your perspective...
Hey Vishant! Sorry for the late response! I have covered Dollar Cost Averaging in detail in my video here on BUY THE DIP:
ua-cam.com/video/h9G1CV-oujI/v-deo.html
Great videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks buddy! I'm glad to hear my videos are helpful! =)
Hello.
Can you make a video on eligible and non eligible dividends and how dividend tax credit works?
Absolutely! That video will definitely be coming! =)
Thank you man
So for ETFs on the other hand, diviend amount won't ever be the same every quarter however... Right? If it's a "broad index" type ETF it'll be dependant on companies/securities held within the ETF so you can't really ever know what the actual amount you will be getting monthly or quarterly?
That's correct. For most ETFs, the distribution (basically a dividend) amount depends on the performance of the dividends contained within the fund so they can vary quarter to quarter but even so, they are usually fairly consistent since it's unlikely for all of the stocks to change their dividend in such a short time frame. Of course some ETFs only track a very small number of stocks, so these would definitely be more susceptible to fluctuating dividends. There are also some dividends which do enforce a consistent dividend throughout the year and then at the end of the year, they either increase or decrease the final dividend to make up for the difference. Excellent question! =)
I like your videos very informative. Do you have a channel on growth stocks?
Thank you Javier and thank you for supporting my channel! I will be making several videos on growth stocks and ETFs so stay tuned! =)
Great video!
Thanks buddy!!! 🔥
Great vid thank you!
Thank you! I really appreciate that! =)
Thanks for the tips man! One question, If I made a profit from one of the stocks in my TFSA, is that a capital gain? Do I report that in my taxes? Or whatever you make in TFSA won't get taxed?
Nope! You do NOT report this at all since any profits you make in a TFSA is tax-free!
Make sure you check out my TFSA Explained video =)

Another awesome video Adrian. Clear, simple and straight to the point. How do you track your dividends payouts? is it manually or is there a way to automate that?
Thank you bro 👊 I learned a lot from you
I'm happy to help! Thanks for sticking with me! =)
Great video and easy to follow your points. I'm looking forward to your stock analysis video.
I already have 3 videos where I analyze stocks and ETFs that I recommend and personally own so check those out!
ua-cam.com/play/PLj8bU3AuW2qFD4sCsCxXdaAADlyiP8bqB.html
I'll be working on more stock analysis videos in the future including the US Dividend stocks next week! =)
Great videos! Just found your channel and subscribed immediately.
As a very new investor I never really considered the importance of earning dividends, particularly when you can just automate the process to purchase more shares.
Question (hopefully not too basic): for new investors with a decent start sum as well as monthly contributions, would you recommend going with one of the ETF's you mentioned in the video on June 6th because of dividend earnings, or something along the lines of VGRO? Does it make a big difference when one is starting out?
I am going to start by using WealthSimple and then possibly move to Questrade once I am a bit better versed in the industry... not sure if that makes a difference in your answer. Sorry to repeat questions across videos, not sure which comment section you check more frequently.
Thanks again for all the great content! Keep up the great work.
Thank you for subscribing and welcome to the channel! 😁
It's hard to tell you the best course of action because it depends on so much: your income, savings, your age, your goals, risk tolerance, time horizon, how much TFSA and RRSP room you have etc... But for most Canadians, I would recommend investing in some of the dividend ETFs I talked about in my past video:
ua-cam.com/video/hXrN5EVCp8Y/v-deo.html
These Canadian ETFs give you great passive income through dividends all while giving you great diversification across the Canadian market and if you hold them in your TFSA, you don't pay ANY taxes on the income you make!
VGRO is a great all-in-one ETF and it's a great option for people who want to be totally hands-off. Just put money into VGRO and it automatically does all the decisions for you. For me personally, I would rather have more control of my money. I want to know how much money goes into bonds, international equities, dividends vs growth, etc so I don't use VGRO. A lot of my investments are contained within VGRO but I buy them in different proportions and I hold those investments in different accounts to maximize my tax efficiency.
Both WealthSimple and Questrade are GREAT platforms for Canadian investments but do NOT use WealthSimple for US investments because they do not allows you to hold USD and so they charge you a currency conversion fee for every transaction. I talk about this problem in this video:
ua-cam.com/video/CuVqfQomSPc/v-deo.html
I know I threw a lot of info at you but I hope it was helpful! =)
What is your opinion on buying options in Canada? How would one go about buying an option on a broker account like QuestTrade?
I personally don't invest in options and I don't recommend it for beginners. It is far more complicated and risky than buying and holding stocks and ETFs. If you don't know what you are doing, it is MUCH easier to lose money so don't blindly jump into it. Maybe in the future, I might play around with options but for now, I only want to make videos on things which I have extensive, personal experience with. I hope that helps! =)
my goodness, I've been on yt for the past hour trying to understand the difference between payout ratio, yield, div and how to figure out if a company pays out their dividend monthly or quarterly or yearly and NOTHING I only got more confused. You swoooop in and BOOM! you made Gazelle version 2.0! She knows all about dividends! THANK YOU YOU ARE THE BEEEESSSTTT #only46.7Kleftto100Ksubs
Thank you Gazelle!!!! For future reference, if you are ever confused about something, do a quick search on my channel first and see if I have a video about it! 😁
Watching this and looking at Enbridge stock. Payout ratio 116% and yield 7.21%
It's true that Enbridge's payout ratio is high but I talk about this exception in my updated Canadian Dividend Stocks video here =)
ua-cam.com/video/_UBlF1WDvNo/v-deo.html
Great video,very well explained.
Are the dividends taxed, in other words let's say we get dividends for the investment,do we need to pay tax for the dividends.Please comment.
In a non-registered account, ANY form of income is taxed so that includes dividends, DRIPs and capital gains. You will have to pay taxes on this when you file your taxes. But in a tax-sheltered account like the TFSA or RRSP, dividends are tax free! =)
@@CanadianTShirt Thanks! So in that case we need to first open TFSA and should that account be linked to Questrade account.
Great information, thank you! I was wondering if you can do a video on where to see your total amount of dividends in your account and the process of withdrawal if I’m the case the person would like to withdraw some of their dividends after a 10 yr period.
Absolutely! I will be making more Questrade tutorials but to see a history of your dividends go to Reports -> Account Activity and then you can see a list of all transactions, and you can filter to see only dividends =)
If you want to withdraw money and move it to your bank account, just go to Requests -> Withdraw Funds =)
Dividend yield calculation is based on a book value or on a market value.
Market value! The book value only pertains to YOU. It's how much money you have put into the stock. The market value is the current value of the share and this affects everyone =)
