Like always, the markets were all over the place this week. It seems if anyone gasps in Europe, the markets in North America are punished. The Loonie did hit parity with the U.S dollar this week which was a surprise to most people.
The hardest part of dividend investing is choosing the right time to buy into the right company. I'm not a financial adviser, but I can share with you what I look for in a company when I'm ready to hit the buy button. I've never been able to time the market very well, but I find looking at the basic information is the first step to making an educated decision. Buying when a stock is at its highest in a year might not be the best strategy to use. I like buying into solid companies after the markets dip just like they did last August and September thanks to investor speculation.
It will be interesting to see how this watch list will change over the next year. My wife loves shopping at RW&Co. which is a banner name under Reitmans so I will be watching RET.A closely. Have a great weekend everyone!
What do you think of my watch list?
