March 11 15 Lessons from 15 Years of Dividend Growth Investing
Fifteen years into dividend growth investing, Mike looks back on the lessons that shaped his strategy, his portfolio, and his mindset.

March 04 8 Stocks Trading at Their 52-Week Low
Beaten-down stocks can look like obvious bargains… right up until they turn into value traps. We walk through eight names trading near 52-week lows, explaining what's attractive, what's broken (or feared), and how to judge whether a drop is a real opportunity—or a warning sign.

The big takeaway: price is only one data point, and buying weakness without understanding the narrative behind it is how investors catch "falling knives."

February 25 6 Stocks with Dangerous Free Cash Flow Trend - Should you Sell them or Buy More?
Free cash flow is one of those metrics that can panic investors fast—especially when it trends down for several years. Using six well-known stocks (plus lessons from the recent TELUS episode), we show you how to read a declining free cash flow chart with context: when it's a temporary byproduct of heavy investment, and when it's a sign the business model is getting squeezed.

February 18 Telus Earnings Deep-Dive: Is it a Buy?
This episode is a numbers- and strategy-focused deep dive into TELUS, right as earnings drop. Mike explains why TELUS used to be an attractive mix of a telecom cash cow plus "tech-like" growth segments—but why that story has become far less convincing as revenue stagnates, debt pressure remains high, and dividend growth has been paused.

The core takeaway isn't "buy" or "sell." It's: build an investment thesis, define your rules, and track tangible metrics. If TELUS executes, the stock could follow an "Enbridge-style" recovery path. If the math doesn't improve, hope won't save the dividend—or your returns.

February 04 5 years later, is investing in CDRs worth it?
CDRs were pitched as a simple way for Canadians to buy U.S. (and now a few international) stocks in Canadian dollars—with built-in currency hedging.

Five years after their launch, we revisit what CDRs actually are, what they do well, and why the "convenience" story often comes with a price tag investors don't fully see. If you're holding CDRs—or considering them—this episode helps you decide if they still make sense for your long-term plan.

January 28 Crunchy Tax Optimization Questions
Today, we focus on the tax moves that actually matter (and the ones that waste your time), especially if you're sitting on big unrealized gains in a non-registered account. The big takeaway: build your plan and investment strategy first—then optimize taxes, not the other way around.
