We tried and continually are trying to bring a platform that caters to the needs of more Canadians at different stages of investing.
For example, newer investors who don't have much investment experience may gain valuable insight from our model portfolios. Those who have been investing for a while and have a portfolio already, may not. However, the rebalancing periods we have can provide insight to established investors due to us selling some stocks, buying others etc.
Our individual growth picks (growth bull list) and growth stock screeners (including our weekly top 20 e-mails) would cater more to those who are looking to invest in aggressive growth options that have the chance to outperform the market. Obviously, past results are no guarantee of future returns, but since inception of Stocktrades Premium in December of 2018, these picks have outperformed the market by 3X, and our screeners top stocks have outperformed the TSX on a weekly basis 87% of the time.
Our Dividend Bull List and dividend safety screeners would be better suited for those looking at dividend growth and income options.
The combination of both our dividend bull list and growth bull list, along with our screeners, can help a Canadian develop a balanced portfolio of growth and income when it comes to the Canadian equity portion of their portfolio. Ultimately, we can't decide that balance for you, as we don't know your personal situation, but we can at least attempt to provide tools to help you succeed.
We've also been told by a lot of members that this Q and A is worth the cost of the subscription alone, as we answer a wide variety of questions, ranging from general investment questions to specific company research.
Overall though, the platform we offer is ultimately what you make of it. We have some people who purchase everything we highlight on our Bull Lists. They log in twice a month to get our most recent picks, and come back next month when we release new ones. There are some people who pick and choose, depending on how it suits their overall portfolio.
Then there are some who are logging in every day to use our screeners, research and this Q and A to make decisions and identify new opportunities.
The choice is ultimately up to you.
