Canadian Dividend Picker ... Introduction Post

 Edited: February 5th, 2023


Canadian Dividend Picker is about my research into dividend paying stocks and ETFs while picking what I feel are good additions to my portfolio after reading various financial Blogs, newsletters, posts and stock data filled sites.

I'm also into the Crypto world that was like the wild west but getting more regulated as time goes by, depending on the country and its ever evolving.


I'm from the east coast of Canada and I've been into earning money online long before Bitcoin came to be, over a decade ago.

With the "Do it Yourself" stock picking strategy, I learned the basics for a year and jumped in with both feet in 2020 just before the pandemic started so I got the full brunt of what a market crash felt like but it quickly picked up again and on track for the most part by the end of 2020.

I do remember the 2008 crash and how my RRSP fell off a cliff losing thousands but resisted the urge to sell, figuring there would be a rebound and of course that did happen.

New additions are "no fee" Fintechs while Banks are partially adding limited no commission fees like the TD Bank, Easy Trade APP and partial stock buying is a hit as well on Wealthsimple Trade.


This Blog is for information purposes for those that are interested and share the same interests and will be a permanent home going forward after hosting a couple of Blogs in the past. The format will be adjusted some where it's new until settled on a "look" that's easy to navigate.


I'm mainly into energy related. pipelines, telecoms plus the big banks. There used to be the Big 5 Banks but 6 is common now with National Bank of Canada being an addition of late.

As I mentioned, one can now buy partial shares where Banks can be expensive to own starting out depending on funding or own them all within an ETF with growth and monthly dividend payments.
