Dividend Investing
I invest for dividends. I also invest for the long term. That is, I buy and hold. The stocks that I own I have held them for an average of 12 years. My longest held stock is 36 years and the shortest is less than 1 year. Because I have dividend growth stocks, I get compounding work for me.
I do have, over my 5 accounts 51 stocks. My main account for dividend income is my Canadian Dividend Account and I have 35 stocks in this account. If one of my dividend stocks craps out on dividends, it will do me little harm. I review my stocks every month.
The problem is that this way of investing is rather boring. It is far more exciting to speculate. So, I have set aside some money to buy more exciting stock. This is money I can afford to lose, or I am willing to lose. Going into the 2000 bear market I had a basket of small caps. I lost and have none left except a Canadian Resource company that has morphed in a company with a mine in Africa.
Since 2000 I have been getting into small caps with dividends. Since 2009, I have been using my TFSA account for fooling around money. To date I have earned since 2009 only an 8% per year total return for my TFSA account. But it has been fun.
On my other blog I wrote yesterday about CI Financial Corp (TSX-CIX, OTC-CIFAF) ... learn more. Next, I will write about Computer Modelling Group Ltd (TSX-CMG, OTC-CMDXF) ... learn more on Friday, June 25, 2021 around 5 pm.

Dividend Income
Dividend growth companies makes compounding work for you. This is how you build a portfolio of dividend income. For example:
I have had Toromont Industries Ltd (industrial) for some 13 years and have made a total return of 14.62% per year with 12.27% from capital gains and 2.35% from dividends. On my original investment I am making 7.8% yield. They have a low dividend but nice dividend increase.
Metro Inc (food store - consumer) for 16 years and have earned 16.8% per year with 14.8% from capital gains and 2.03% from dividends. I have a yield of 17% on my original investment.
Emera Inc (utility) for 15 years and have made 11.9% per year with 6.93% from capital gains and 4.97% from dividends. I have a yield of 13.5% on my original investment.
Pembina Pipeline Corp (energy - pipeline) for 19 years and have made 15.67% per year with 6.84% from capital gains and 8.83% from dividends. I have a yield of 22.5% on my original investment.
Canadian Tire Corp (consumer) for 21 years and have made 12.64% per year with 10.68% from capital gains and 1.96% from dividends. I have a yield of 21.1% on my original investment.
This is how I built a portfolio that gives me increasing dividends each year. It takes time, but you can build a portfolio that provides you will an increasing income for a long time.

My Investing
I do a specific sort of investing. I am investing to have dividend income. Therefore, I look for dividend growth stocks. I try to buy them at a reasonable price. The price you pay affects your long term gains and income. There is a trade-off between dividend yields and dividend growth. I am willing to sacrifice current yield for growth. However, I never buy one where the current yield is less than 1%. It takes too long to make a more reasonable return (yield on original cost). I also have stocks with different combinations of yield and growth.
I never go after anything with a very high yield (more than 6%) unless we are in a bear market. I have little in resource (i.e., oil and gas) or material (i.e., gold, metals) stocks basically. They are less an 1% of my portfolio. This is Canada, so you need to know what these sectors are doing. This is why I follow some resource stocks. I do not buy airplane companies (i.e., Air Canada). I do not buy restaurant stocks (i.e., Pizza Pizza Royalty Corp). These are not the sort of stocks you can buy and hold forever.
Most of the dividend growth stocks are listed on the Canadian Dividend Aristocrat. The blogger Dan Kent of Stocks Trades Canada on shows this list on his site. See the end of the posting. It is not a bad list. However, for all the stocks in this list you need to check for two things. Can they afford their dividends? Best test in Dividend Payout Ratio for Earnings per Share (EPS). The other thing to check for is level of debt. Some industries, like utilities, tend to have a lot of debt (i.e., Pipelines).
Also, the blogger on Dividend Growth Investing & Retirement gives out a good spreadsheet on Canadian Dividend All-Star List. However, you have to sign up to his site to get access to it.
