Ep 4: Dividends vs. Total Return

from DIY Wealth Canada Podcast · host Bob Lai and Nelson Smith

In this episode, Bob and Nelson tackle the question that will always elicit an opinion -- should you invest with dividends in mind, or should you always aim for the best total returns? Bob explains how he invests in indexes to go for total returns and dividend stocks for income, while Nelson raises some eyebrows with his dividend-only style. If it doesn't pay a dividend, he won't invest. Yet he's still confident a dividend strategy can deliver good total returns over time.What are your thoughts on this classic debate? Find us on Twitter/X (Nelson is @CDINewsletter, while Bob is @Tawcan) and let us know.
