Prepare for Possible Job Loss
This article on Money Sense talks about preparing for a possible job loss.
The first time I lost a job was just months after I started one in 1964. I had been bored in grade 12 going to Thornhill High School, so when my parents went on holidays I went to Toronto and got a job as a secretary. I had good marks out of school. However, I could not type, I could not read back anything that I write trying to take dictation, and I certainly could not spell. Getting fired was the best thing to happen to me. Since it was 1964 there were lots and lots of jobs and I got hired as a clerk at an insurance firm.
Next, the insurance company I was working for was bought out. At this company I had worked at many different jobs and had worked with the computer. (The first computer I worked with had a room of its own and had 64K, an IBM 360. It had vacuum tubes, not transistor.) I asked one of the executives to help me get another job because this executive seem to know everyone in Toronto who worked for insurance companies. He offered to help if I worked at the company until the day before some of the staff were moving to Kingston. I did and he got me another job in an insurance company. This was 1976.
The next thing I had to worry about was the 1980’s when companies were downsizing. Everyone was worried as I was but I did have some back up. I had started to invest some money into dividend paying stocks. I did not in the end have to use any money, but the time was less stressful for me because of my portfolio. By this time, I was working in IT and so had a reasonably good salary.
Then this next insurance company went bankrupt. Things happen. I went to work for a insurance company that bought part of our business. Unfortunately, it meant that I had to take the subway to work rather than walk. There was a job fair at a company I was interested in working at and it was located within walking distance. I worked for 3 more years. Unfortunately, I had a lousy boss. I started to consider getting another job. Then my boss offered me 6 months’ salary to leave and was rather disconcerted when I reply, where do I sign. In the end, I did not get another job, but decided to live off my portfolio because I had enough income to replace my salary.
Life Insurance firms are interesting as they will pay for any college or university course you past. I did take advantage of this.
You never know how life is going to turn out. Certainly, most people who work will find they lose they job at some point in their working lives. It is best to be prepared for this. Putting money aside into some stock is not a bad way of going about this.

Toromont and Finning
I knew I had done well with Toromont over the years which I bought in 2007. I was curious when I was looking at Finning how they compared. It looks like I bought the right stock. Both these companies are into Equipment Distributors, although they do seem to be classified differently.
The Total Return per year is shown below for years of 5 to 32 to the end of 2022 for Toromont. Under the Capital Gain column is the portion of the Total Return attributable to capital gains. Under the Dividend column is the portion of the Total Return attributable to dividends. See chart below.
The Total Return per year is shown below for years of 5 to 35 to the end of 2022 for Finning. Under the Capital Gain column is the portion of the Total Return attributable to capital gains. Under the Dividend column is the portion of the Total Return attributable to dividends. See chart below.
So, what about growth?
Toromont Growth for the past 5 and 10 years to the end of 2022 is below. Most growth is good except for Cash Flow for the last 5 years. Cash Flow seems to vary a lot and was down in 2022.
Finning ‘s Growth for the past 5 and 10 years to the end of 2022 is below. This company has low growth in Revenue. Cash Flow seems to vary a lot here also and 2022’s Cash Flow was very low. They also have low growth in Dividends and Stock Price.
What about Dividend Payout Ratios?
This is the Dividend Payout Ratios (DPR) for Toromont. Toromont does not have an Adjusted Earnings per Share (AEPS) value. The Earnings per Share (EPS) ratio is similar to Finning’s. I do often wonder about the value of the Free Cash Flow (FCF) as different sites have different values.
This is the Dividend Payout Ratios (DPR) for Finning. Finning has a lower Cash Flow per Share (CFPS) DPR than Toromont. Again, I wonder about the value of Free Cash Flow (FCF) as different sites have different values.
Let’s look at dividend growth. I have two questions, what is the current yield on my original investment and how much of my original purchase price has been paid by dividends. It would seem from this prospective that Toromont has done better.
For Toromont, I have data for 30 years and on an original stock price from 10 years ago, the yield in 2022 would be 6.88% and 41.53% of the cost of the stock would have been paid.
I also have data for 30 years from Finning. on an original stock price from 10 years ago, the yield in 2022 would be 3.62% and 29.84% of the cost of the stock would have been paid.
After this review, I am glad that I bought Toromont.

Dividend Investing
I heard Ed Rempel at the Canadian Financial Summit. However, my link to that talk has disappear. I found that he has a site and has basically the same information on that site. So, today is my reference to his site.
Yes. I have heard about what Ed Rumpel is selling before. That is, you are better off investing for capital gains and talking cashflow out of your portfolio when you need it. I still prefer dividend investing. Read below and read his information and decide what you like.
Investing for strictly capital gain in not easy. It did try it. You have to be more careful in capital gain investing because of market volatility. You probably do not want to extract money from your portfolio in selling stocks in a bear market. This could be just physiological, but it would be a worry. It is much harder to pick stocks that will go to up, than to pick stocks that produce dividends. Just because a stock is currently rising, it does not mean that it will continue to do so, especially if it rising fast.
With capital gain investing, past history of rapid stock price growth is not an indicator of future rapid stock price growth. A stock that is rising fast is generally not a long term investment.
The dividend producers have a history. It is not perfect, but it is a good indicator of what a company will do in the future. With dividend investing you get money whether the market is up or down. And, let’s face it, dividend investing is a whole lot easier than capital gains investing. You can buy good companies and keep them for the long term.
Fun fact is that dividend paying stocks tend to go bankrupt a lot less than non-dividend paying stocks. It has been suggested that this is because when a company pay dividends, it is harder to hid problems. They actually have to produce money for their shareholders each quarter.
By the way, I believed in the 4% withdrawal philosophy when I stopped working and was going to live of my portfolio. That happened in 1999. Then 2000 hit and then 2008 hit. After 2000 I started to raise my investment income as a percentage of my portfolio. Because I had dividend growth stocks, I got low yield but growth. I was averaging 2% to 2.5% dividends on my portfolio. I made some sales and purchases to move my average to 3% to 3.5% yield and only took out what I made in dividends.
Although, he is right about withdrawing dividends. The growth in my portfolio, and in the dividends my portfolio produces, was a lot lower once I started to take out dividend income compared to when I was not.

Yes. I have heard about what Ed Rumpel is selling before. That is, you are better off investing for capital gains and talking cashflow out of your portfolio when you need it. I still prefer dividend investing. Read below and read his information and decide what you like.
Investing for strictly capital gain in not easy. It did try it. You have to be more careful in capital gain investing because of market volatility. You probably do not want to extract money from your portfolio in selling stocks in a bear market. This could be just physiological, but it would be a worry. It is much harder to pick stocks that will go to up, than to pick stocks that produce dividends. Just because a stock is currently rising, it does not mean that it will continue to do so, especially if it rising fast.
With capital gain investing, past history of rapid stock price growth is not an indicator of future rapid stock price growth. A stock that is rising fast is generally not a long term investment.
The dividend producers have a history. It is not perfect, but it is a good indicator of what a company will do in the future. With dividend investing you get money whether the market is up or down. And, let’s face it, dividend investing is a whole lot easier than capital gains investing. You can buy good companies and keep them for the long term.
Fun fact is that dividend paying stocks tend to go bankrupt a lot less than non-dividend paying stocks. It has been suggested that this is because when a company pay dividends, it is harder to hid problems. They actually have to produce money for their shareholders each quarter.
By the way, I believed in the 4% withdrawal philosophy when I stopped working and was going to live of my portfolio. That happened in 1999. Then 2000 hit and then 2008 hit. After 2000 I started to raise my investment income as a percentage of my portfolio. Because I had dividend growth stocks, I got low yield but growth. I was averaging 2% to 2.5% dividends on my portfolio. I made some sales and purchases to move my average to 3% to 3.5% yield and only took out what I made in dividends.
Although, he is right about withdrawing dividends. The growth in my portfolio, and in the dividends my portfolio produces, was a lot lower once I started to take out dividend income compared to when I was not.

Something to Buy November 2023
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 November 2023 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).
