Almost everyone was talking about ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds) all the time. Also, hard to tell you were in Canada. All the charts and figures presented were American. Even the TO guys were showing using US charts on everything.
A lot of the people talking about ETFs were talking about their new ones and a lot of these were involved with using Options. They were talking about ETFs paying monthly income. They were talking about ETFs being used as a pension plan. As I said above, almost all the talk was about ETFs.
This year as in other years, some of the best speakers are in the early morning session on Friday. The Money Saver magazine also puts on some very interesting talks. I also like to listen to David Rosenberg of Rosenberg Research and Benjamin Tal an Economist at the CIBC.

Paulina Neuding Substack
I want to take some time and write about writers on Substack. I read Common Sense by Bari Weiss. She often invites another Substack author to write on her Substack page. This one is by Paulina Neuding.
I started to read Substack authors after I saw an interview that included Bari Weiss and she talked about Substack. I looked at what Bari Weiss had to say on Substack first. She has various people write in her Substack and ones I liked I liked; I signed up for their Substack newsletters. All the ones I read are on Substack have referenced by others on Substack. However, you can go on Substack and signup to read authors by category.

Something to Buy September 2022
There is always something to buy in the stock market. On Tuesday, I put out a list of the stocks that I covered and showed what stock might be a good deal based on dividend yield. Now I am trying to categorize what sorts of stocks may be a good deal based on dividend yield. The dividend yield test in this note is a quick way of finding possible stock buys. See my Spreadsheet .
The advantages to using dividend yield to judge how cheap or expensive a stock is, is that you are not using estimates or old data (like last reported quarter's data). You are using today's stock price and today's dividend yield. However, this is just a place to start. It is a good idea to check the stock price with other tests, especially the P/S Ratio test. For other testing, like P/E Ratios, P/S Ratios, P/CF Ratios, P/BV Ratios and Price/Graham Price Ratios, you use estimates or data from the last reported financial quarter.
If a stock is showing as a buy using the dividend yield test, I usually like to verify it is a buy by doing a P/S Ratio test. Here you compare the current P/S Ratio to the 10 year median P/S Ratio. If the current P/S Ratio is lower than the 10 year median, then the stock is a buy. I note that Morningstar gives a current P/S Ratio. The 10 year median ratio is shown in my review of a stock. The 10 year median ratio in a review is good for one year from the date of review.
This historical dividend yield test does not work well for old Income Trust companies. These companies had quite high Dividend Yields which will probably never be seen again. So, I started a column called VT (for Valid Test) and this applies to checking stock price using dividend yield. If it is not a valid test, I use N to show this. For these stocks, you might be better comparing the current dividend yield to the 10 year median dividend yield.
However, no system is perfect. But if you are interested in buying a stock a list of stocks cheap or reasonable using dividend yield data might be a good place to start.
Categorizing stocks is not as simple as it might seem. Every site you go to has categorized stocks a bit differently. I try to keep this as simple as possible. See Something to Buy September 2022 Spreadsheet above to see what stocks are showing whether a stock is relatively cheap based on historical high dividend yields (P/Hi), historical median dividend yields (P/Med), 10 year high dividend yields (P/10Hi), or 10 year median dividend yields (P/10Yr). As in other spreadsheets, you can highlight a line or several lines for better viewing.
In the following notes I am only going to list stocks showing as cheap using the historical high dividend yields (P/Hi) and historical median dividend yields (P/Med).
I follow 20 stocks in the Consumer Discretionary category. Two of these stocks (10%) are showing as cheap by the historically high dividend yield. They are Canadian Tire Corp (TSX-CTC.A, OTC-CDNAF) and Leon's Furniture (TSX-LNF, OTC-LEFUF). There is no change from last month.

However, no system is perfect. But if you are interested in buying a stock a list of stocks cheap or reasonable using dividend yield data might be a good place to start.
Categorizing stocks is not as simple as it might seem. Every site you go to has categorized stocks a bit differently. I try to keep this as simple as possible. See Something to Buy September 2022 Spreadsheet above to see what stocks are showing whether a stock is relatively cheap based on historical high dividend yields (P/Hi), historical median dividend yields (P/Med), 10 year high dividend yields (P/10Hi), or 10 year median dividend yields (P/10Yr). As in other spreadsheets, you can highlight a line or several lines for better viewing.
In the following notes I am only going to list stocks showing as cheap using the historical high dividend yields (P/Hi) and historical median dividend yields (P/Med).
