This post is from a fan of My Own Advisor and avid dividend investor Tawcan.
I started investing in stocks in my mid 20’s. Back then I didn’t know much about dividend growth investing so I didn’t pay much attention to stocks that pay dividends. Stock capital gain was on my mind whenever I pulled a buy trigger. While a few stocks I owned paid dividends, I simply viewed dividends as nothing more than extra money. It wasn’t until I read The Lazy Investor by Derek Foster that I started paying more attention to dividend growth investing. One of the key things I’ve learned over the years is that one should start investing as early as possible to take advantage of the power of compound interest.
Did you know that if you start with $20,000 and compound it quarterly for 40 years at 5% annual interest rate, you’ll end up with almost $146,000? That’s without adding any new cash. That’s a pretty significant growth if you ask me!

The problem with having too much equity
– moneysense.ca
The ProblemFor the past 18 years, Karine and Dave Silverberg of Milton, Ont., have managed their own portfolio of mutual funds. Neither has a company pension so the 38-year-old couple has been very aggressive with asset allocation. “Up to now, we’ve been 100% in equities,” says Karine, who oversees their six-figure portfolio to which they contribute $4,000 a month. All their investments are in index funds with fees of up to 1.1%. The couple now wants to switch to lower-fee exchange-traded funds (ETFs), but is starting to question their 100% equity position. “Is it right for the long term?” asks Karine. “We won’t need the money for years.”
The Fix
Even though the Silverbergs are willing to take a high level of risk with their investments, they don’t necessarily need to take this much risk, says Shannon Dalziel, a certified financial planner with PWL Capital Inc. in Toronto. “Since they’ve implemented a frequent savings strategy, they may find that an aggressive asset allocation, along with its higher risk, isn’t necessary to meet their goals…
