DeleteCan't believe I only just found your blog - always nice to see what other BC PF Bloggers are up to! Will be following along on your asset grinding journey!
ReplyDelete604, 250, 778 represent! lol
DeleteNicely done! I am curious how do you plan to convert your asset base into a passive income stream you can live on? I took a similar path as yours to asset accumulation only to be clobbered in 2000 and 2008. I am now documenting my passive income journey on Freedom595.com You may find some interesting strategies that you could utilize.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your continued success,

Have you ever thought of investing in CDN dividend companies but buying the US dollar symbol instead of the CDN one? EX: TD Bank TD on TSX or TD on NYSE? What about the 15% withholding tax on the US dividends? Do you get that back on your income tax?
ReplyDeleteHave a good day and carry on...you are doing great.
Hi there. Just would like to say thank for keeping open and honest conversation.
ReplyDeleteIt is very interesting to read an entrepreneur approach to financial independence. A lot of us have day jobs, so focus is not as sharp as yours.
WOW!!!! Greats goal!!. May I know how much additional money are you putting into your portfolio each month?? I recently just started my dividend growth portfolio and my blog. It's not doing that well now since the overall market is down. However I am using this opportunity to purchase more dividend growth stocks.

ReplyDeleteAre you still trading or active? Would love to chat about margin dividend trading mREITs
