About Nelson
Hi! I’m Nelson. Most everybody calls me Nelly, so you might as well do it too.
I have three passions. I like golf, baseball, and dividend investing. I’m not that good at the first, too old for the second, but I like to think I’m pretty good at the third. I couldn’t be happier that you’re here to join me.
I’m what the kids like to call a dividend value investor. This means I’m focused on temporarily unloved stocks that offer the maximum dividend income, a history of dividend growth, and the potential to deliver generous capital gains. It’s a powerful combination when done correctly.
We use a simple, yet powerful system to identify a small number of these stocks, and then deep analysis to choose the best of the best. Ultimately, I’m looking for strong businesses that have stumbled just a bit to put into my portfolio, businesses that offer good balance sheets, solid moats, impressive returns on equity, smart managers, and a long history of success. Then, after I do all the work, I share the analysis with subscribers.
This method of value/income investing is exactly what I used to become financially independent by my 40th birthday. It isn’t perfect — what system is? — but what I’ve found is the hits more than make up for the misses.
How CDI can help
I believe that everyday Canadian investors can succeed on their own.
The financial industry in Canada is incentivized to make you believe the exact opposite. They want you to pay 1% of your assets to them, every year, rather than keeping that money in your own pocket.
And so, I’ve spent the last three years tirelessly building a resource that helps DIY Canadian dividend investors ditch their advisor, choose quality dividend stocks, and outline the same strategies I used to hit financial independence at a young age.
A dividend growth strategy is both a simple and effective part of a quality retirement plan. It takes the guesswork out of retirement spending, protects against inflation, and it has been proven to deliver solid long-term total returns in both Canada and the United States.
Even if you’re not a hardcore dividend investor, CDI can still help. We sift through the entire market and help investors identify the best places to invest their hard-earned cash. We also go over the pros and cons of simple strategies that regular Canadians can use to aid in their retirement plans. We also regularly take closer looks at individual dividend stocks. I don’t advise anybody; instead I share exactly what I’m doing and why it works for me.
Canadian Dividend Investing has a premium subscription that is no longer open to new members as we try to come up with something a little more inclusive. I’ll let you guys know when that changes.
