Pensions Time Bomb

A very important article has appeared in The Globe and mail, one of Canada's national newspapers. The article appears at:

Pension plan obligations continue to be another "hidden time" bomb that investors must be wary of. Canadian investors, based on this article, must take pension obligations into account prior to investing capital into Canadian issues. We will be looking for a the government's response and resolution to his problem.

More on this subject will be forthcoming, but for now, beware.

Dividend Post

The Dividend Post is first and foremost a stock selection newsletter,
where I profile great companies that pay dividends. My criteria for stock selection
rests on the following sound investment principles rated in order of importance:

1) Strong past performance.
2) Solid business franchise.
3) Strong Free Cash Flow to fund future dividends and sales growth.
4) Dividend Growth to provide a growing income stream over time (Dividend Growth Model)
5) A good purchase price so as to benefit from capital gains over long periods of time.

Dividend Post is targeted at the following investment profile:

a) Long term investment time frame (5 years or more)
b) Desire for an additional and growing income stream in the next 5 to 25 years.
c) Risk averse
