You all seem to be missing real estate in your portfolio. I don't think he wants to sell, but you may be able to convince @max_boost to let go of some Strathmore real estate.

I think we should have a dividend/yeild investing thread. It's a very different conversation than we seem to have in the "investing" threads, but one worth consideration for some people.
@JRSC00LUDE I like Utility and Financial Stocks. Power Corp, Canadian Utilities, Transalta etc.

That's easy. Buy PPL. /thread

Just sharing a 4 year strategy I'm experimenting with. In Apr 2020, I wanted to invest in about 10 canadian companies. I looked at their current price vs their 52 week high, and their dividend. On the left half.
On the right, I projected the 4 year gain, if a) they returned to 50% of their 52 week high, and b) if they returned to 100% of their 52 week high, after 4 years, including the dividend payments.


From this, I bough these 10 companies in Apr 2020. 4 months later, they're up ~17%, so far. Mixed in below are some earlier companies I bought in June 2019, based on a current vs projected price based on some 'Simply Wallstreet' suggestions, which suggests undervalued companies.
I didn't look into these companies deeply at all, so I can definitely attribute some of the so-far success of this example to luck. I've also made some poor investing decisions in 2020, panicking and selling before the recovery.

Should have bought stonks.

This is kinda like a "dogs of the dow" type strategy, and honestly one that I'm a big fan of. I still invest partly with my heart and not just with math, but over the last little while I've built small, roughly equal positions in
Canadian Utilties (CU)
CNRL (CNQ)
Power Corp (POW)

None are poised for huge rebounds in share price, but all have room to run upwards, and have reasonably, sorta, secure dividends. I've reached the point where if something pays 5% and goes up 2% on average, I'm going to be happy with it. If it pays 7% and goes up a little more, then hey, that's a nice little bonus.

I never did end up buying the "dogs" ETF, although I probaly should folow my own advice and do that. Lol.

Is the Dogs of the Dow strategy better than what I learn on r/wsb? Can someone do some advanced CORSI on this for me?

Jumping on the psilocybin bandwagon. Buying SHRM today assuming my trade settles. Not intending to day-trade this, which is why I'm in the long-term thread, although I think others may be looking at these kind of stocks are shorter term things. Whatever works.

Hah, no I'm not. Those shares are not trading, pending a review. Hilarious that I didn't notice that. Good jorb.

[The_Rural_Juror]

That's a pro move sir. Taro Tsujimoto salutes you.

[ExtraSlow]

Can't lose money if you place the buy order when the stock isn't trading.

Extremely fair statement.

[The_Rural_Juror]

Maritimers man. It's like you give someone everything you have and it's just like...another one...another one...honey...honey...honey every five seconds.

Any favorites on O&G? I'm looking to add 1 or 2 right now. Not looking for a pipeline. SU? HSE? CNQ? ARX? If you were to buy any two O&G stocks right now what would you go with? Also it must pay a dividend.

[killramos]

Xeg, if you insist on a single company I would say CNQ.

[roopi]

I'm not looking for an ETF.
