All these five companies have been paying dividends, uninterrupted dividends since the late 1800s. Whereas you look at the American banks, a lot of them stop paying dividends. I think the Canadian banks are relatively conservative. They've been putting money aside in case there's any defaults and stuff like that.
In today's episode, we have Bob Lai from www.tawcan.com with us. Bob is living in Canada and he's been blogging for about a decade already. Most of you have probably stumbled upon his blog when doing some research about dividend investing. Hence, we're very happy that he found some time to chat with us about everything dividend growth investing-related.
Having said that, in today's episode we discussed the following topics:
- The number of Tech layoffs and whether this is a bullish signal
- Billyboys in Davos are paying premium prices for wife-replacements
- How Bob started with dividend investing
- A discussion about high yield, low growth vs low yield, high growth
- How close he is to financial independence and what he will do when he reaches it
- His main struggles as a dividend growth investor, both in the past and right now
- What makes Canadian banks so special?
- If he owns Danish stocks
Besides that, we've asked him all of your questions!
So if you're curious, please tune in and we'll C U on the inside!
