Dividend based investing vs Growth investing -
Looking at the YTD chart for CNQ, you've gone from $41 to $21 with dividend payouts on
March - $1.43
June - $1.51
Sept - $1.60
Some of the low days were $13, $18.
To me looks like a good candidate stock to play short term and playing the dividend dates.
But is this something I would want long term?
Compared to my current 3 primary stocks
SHOP - YTD - $414 to $1000
AAPL - YTD - $75 to $110
AMZN - YTD - $1900 to $3100
Only AAPL has a dividend, and it is minor compared to it's stock. But their share price gains outpaces the dividend gains that CNQ has based on those YTD dates (jan 1st to today). You can pick and choose some entry points to make it more favorable for CNQ, the $13 low and you're laughing with your dividend payouts.
I have never been a dividend focused investor, so there are probably things or strategies that I'm not aware of to make more gains.
I am making the assumption that most of us are using our TFSA / RRSP accounts for investing so I don't need to adjust for tax rates / taxes / US with holding tax / etc.
