1. After a 5 year bull-run. What should investors do?
- Indexing (rebalance bonds and equities)
- Sell everything (worst option, can’t time exit and entry points)
- Investing for income – ignore market swings and business news, invest for dividends
- Buy and Hold (best approach – stay the course)
- Other options may include stop-limits, or even covered call EFs. But don’t go overboard.
2. Screening dividend stocks. What to look for before buying.
- Dividend yield (high yield = high risk)
- Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR) EPS / Annual Dividend * 100
- Income Trusts, Oil and Gas REITS, not DRP, use distributable cash flow
- DRIPs added when a company is short of cash (with Peter Hodson)
- Company debt (i.e. debt to equity ratio)
- Dividend Growth (at least 5 years, 10 years preferred)
- Dividend performance in recessions (with Peter Hodson)
- Mutual Fund Fees (Canadians paying the highest MERs in the world)
- Load Fees (front-end, back-end, and deferred sales charges)
- Own the same stocks the mutual funds own
- No need to pay commissions
- No need to pay ongoing annual MERs
- You keep 100% of the dividend income
