      I live off dividends on ETFs, for sure it can improve your wealth if you reinvest them to buy more shares, creating a snowball effect that allows your investments to compound over time. It's one of the most passive and effective ways to build an income stream. well managed steady growth for me.

    • @Msmelissa-u1w

      ethel have you considered the possibility of cashing out some of those dividends for paying off your monthly expenses, instead of re-investing them? Bcos I need a lot as rent, inflation alone eat up almost all of what I make.

      To be honest I keep compounding, adhering to well established patterns from a professional, even as a rookie, can bring tremendous value!

    I opted for CASH instead of the bond funds for my temporary hold of cash waiting to deploy. Works nicely with a drip as well. VFV has been very good to me, along with the US equivalent VOO. I know there’s lots of overlap with VFV, but I also do VTI/VUN.

      TFSA no tax
      RRSP taxed when you pullout
      non-Reg pay taxes annually on returns added to you income.
      TFSA should be your first investment account, then RRSP depending on your retirement plans… non-regs great for day trading or higher risk investments… thats my understanding

    Wonderful picks Brandon. I hope life is treating you well. Many younger investors have never seen the value of including Bonds in a portfolio as the interest rates have never been falling like we anticipate now. All the way back to 2007 (6.25%) dropping rates to 2009 (2.25%). In 2008, market correction was 30+ percent down in all stock categories while bonds returned +6%. Bonds then continued to outperform US Large Caps from 2009-2012. Looking at Bond returns in last 8-10 years not the proper comparison IMO. I think they definitely have a place in balanced portfolios now.

      @@filb WRONG!! Bonds have typically been to preserve wealth needed for the nearer term like retirement, when you have a long time before you need the money then you invest more in equities. im also looking over the life of the fund how much longterm can i get! If i was retired like they were talking about this would be a major blow to my portfolio. In Retirement youre looking at short term needs, if you want to look at long term, every asset class on the planet has performed better over the long run. They would have been better using CMR or CASH as an example.

If i was a retiree a i put a good chunk of my savings in this 5 years ago my money would have lost 30-40% of its value to inflation and another 13% to the fund so in essence i would have lost 50% of the value of my money. .6% 😂🤣😂🤣

      ZAG has a weighted avg duration of over 7 years. The fact that you're focusing on 5 years means you don't understand the purpose of the ETF. Second, it''s nowhere near close to being down 13% over 5 years. As per usual, novice investors focus on the ticker price while ignoring the distributions. ZAG has a positive return over 7 years and is roughly flat over the last 5 years. The purpose of aggregate bond ETF's is to reduce the volatility of your portfolio while providing monthly income. ZAG has a much lower standard deviation compared to ZCN while having a positive nominal return.

    Hi, Im Canadian, New to the investor world. I have purchase schd and a bit of vdy in my tfsa account, i have noticed when you purchase a american stock there is a 15% withholding tax plus the mer of schd is 0.06%. Should i continue investing into both these stocks or one of them?

    • @AvgJoeCda

      Schd should be held in your rrsp, then the 15% withholding tax is waived.

      @apple85126 Yes, you do. But your tax is a flat rate...not an extra 15% withholding tax.
      RRSP is the only vehicle where you can have US holdings & not pay the 15% withholding tax.
      So it's best to keep US holdings in RRSP and Canadian holdings in your TFSA.

      @miyamotomusashi7639 3 місяці тому +3

      it's dividend yield not dividend growth, actually the growth of that company has been on the decline since 2012, meaning you're getting less and less from the dividend even if they increase dividend yield to attract more people to buy their stock. I'm not big into dividend investing but if I were to buy a dividend stock I'd want it to have a good track record of company growth and not a lifetime of decline (its down 49.22% of its value since its inception in 2008), also reasonable dividend yield (14% sounds like a company desperate for cash).
