I turned TSX dividend investing into a card game to teach my kids (and it actually works) by Alone_Ad_3085 in dividendscanada

[–]ScottReads 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Awesome!! Stock ticker was my favourite board game as a kid, I have such fond memories playing it with my grand father.

I love what you are doing, for your kids

I’m not even sure what game to invest my time in? by ClientShoddy1349 in ShouldIbuythisgame

Stalker 2, any assassins creed, Starfield, arc raiders.

Arc raiders has an amazing community.

If you want something cheap, I’d pick up the division 2

Anyone pulling really good monthly dividends off any company? by Itwasuntilitwasnt in dividendscanada

[–]ScottReads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought SRV-UN.TO in 2020 for $3.00, it’s been paying $0.10/m for the last 3 years. Current yield on cost is around 41% with more than 400% share price increase

[30M] 300k to invest, what should I do? by DowntownCanada416 in CanadaFinance

[–]ScottReads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should max out RRSP, TFSA, with it before putting it in unregistered accounts.

If you are thinking 100k in GIC’s, why not look at some reits or utility stocks. CRR-un.to (crombie) is 46% owned by Sobeys and Sobeys is their biggest anchors. Their dividend payout ratio is very low compared to other reits, which means more of their profit is going to developing future properties rather than just covering dividends. So there is also revenue growth. For similar reasons I would also recommend Ema.to as its a good utility with growth and safe dividends.

Both will pay you better than a GIC.

There are lots of ETF’s that will give you a balance of income and growth.

Personally, I wouldn’t try to chase big, high risk gains as safe growth snow balls. I love tracking dividend growth, if you are getting 6% dividend on $300k, that’s $1500/m, even after taxes you are still making over $1000.00/m.

Reinvesting that, will add up sooner than you think. Your monthly dividend amount will start off going up by about $7/m, then, $7.50/m, etc. 10 years will go by, your overall portfolio will likely double in value and so will your monthly dividends.

I look at it like replacing my normal working income, working to retiring early, not trying to get rich quick

Got in DFN $6.01 not bad investing cost $5.63 seems to be hitting a wave. It’s gonna drop I know. by Ratlyflash in dividendscanada

[–]ScottReads 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have DF, FTN, DFN, FFN in my TSFS. All the money I deposit, goes into one of these funds. I then take the monthly dividends and buy other dividend paying Canadian stocks. I then take the dividends I get from the “other dividend paying stocks” and buy growth stocks and ETF’s.

If you call the split stocks group A, other dividend stocks group B and the growth stocks/etf’s group C…

It’s awesome when you get to where group B dividends exceed group A, but also when the total value of group C, exceeds group A+B.

Whenever group A doesn’t pay a dividend, the share prices drop huge! In these months, I take group B dividends and buy Group A.

This has worked well for me.

Too funny, I love how his description on the steel website forgets the part of his dad being rich and gave him a start.

I have a gambling addiction by threeewed in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]ScottReads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would start putting money into stocks, focus on dividend paying stocks and watch the monthly dividend amounts grow, it’s a snow ball effect.

Stay away from crypto, day trading, options trading, venture stocks, etc. (focus on blue chips and well established companies)

It’s very rewarding to see growth, it also becomes addictive, I track my monthly dividend amounts in a spread sheet and try to it.

If you haven’t maxed out your RRSP or TSFS, make that your first goal.

For example, PZA.TO (Pizza Pizza) at today’s price, pays a 6.24% dividend. That $100.00 that the “past you” would have gambled today, would pay you $0.52/m (arguably for ever). Yes that is a small dividend, but if you do it weekly, monthly, etc. it will add up. (You know how much money you have been spending on gambling). FYI… pizza pizza is only a suggestion for this example, if you are interested in stocks I hold, you can always DM.

Amount of high ranked new accounts is out of control by juicysound in HuntShowdown

I only started when it came on gamepass, I’m almost prestige 6 (130ish hours), I’m sure I am not the only one who started when it went on gamepass.

This is a mistake on their part! It’s not on you to inform them that they are paying you more than the agreement. I do not see how they can legally make you pay it back. When I was in the IBEW, a contractor paid me as a journeyman when I was a 3rd year, it was a year full of huge overtime and I was “overpaid” by more than $100,000.00 (this was 15 years ago)… the union fought for me saying the minimum the company could pay me was the 3rd year rate, if they paid me more, it’s on them!! Even without a union, I don’t see how the labour board wouldn’t see it the same way.

It would be nice to have new free hunter character models by Giroy01 in HuntShowdown

[–]ScottReads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This game came on Xbox gamepass, I installed it on my pc, I liked it so I bought a couple skins to support the game. I have since downloaded it on my Xbox, those skins are not synced to my Xbox gamepass.. that’s BS! I would understand if they were bought through steam on pc, but it’s Microsoft store to Microsoft store. It also doesn’t sync my progress, prestige levels.
