The Types of Stocks we cover can be seen by checking out our list and performance from past years, see and all years since 2000.
(The graph above is updated for 2024 through August 31.)
Many of our stocks are mid-size companies. Mostly profitable, dividend-paying Canadian companies. And we also feature some of the largest and best known companies in North America as well. We have Canadian stocks (some of which also trade in the U.S.) and also a good selection of U.S. stocks. We also have a good selection of Canadian preferred shares and REITs paying attractive dividends.
Our Stock Picks have returned an average of 11.6% per year ( not counting dividends) in the almost 25 years ending August 31, 2024 (despite some down years) while over same period the Toronto Stock Exchange gained just 4.2% compounded and the S&P 500 gained 5.4% compounded annually – in both cases also not counting dividends. And, the dividends would have added about another 2% to our results if we had tracked those.
We generally have no oil and gas stocks, no gold stocks, few or no mining stocks, few or no penny stocks, and no scientific research oriented stocks. Those stocks do not lend themselves to fundamental analysis using financial statements. What we do have is companies engaged in various businesses including: retailing, software, banking, credit cards, insurance, communications, transportation, real estate, property development, home building, and consulting engineering, and also a good selection of higher dividend yield entities including preferred shares.
To invest in our Stock Picks you will need to have an investment account with your bank or brokerage. If you don’t have one, check out our article on how to get started.
We use fundamental analysis techniques only. This includes both numerical and non-numerical analysis. We attempt to identify companies that are under-valued in the market. Also we attempt to identify highly profitable companies and then ride along with them as they compound up their values over time through growth.
