New Canadian investors should have at least a handful of robust dividend payers at the core of their TFSAs (Tax-Free Savings Accounts). Undoubtedly, income and dividend investing may be a bit more appealing to older investors near retirement who actually need the passive income supplement. But for new and young investors, I’d argue there’s also…
If you’ve got around $5,000 or more that you’ve been meaning to buy stocks with, searching for value on the TSX Index going into June isn’t the worst idea. Of course, it would have been nice to get back in April when fear and panic were the main emotions on Bay Street. Still, I think…
It’s hard to believe that we’re just a month and a half away from closing the books on the first half of 2025.

Such explosive gains came out of perhaps one of the scariest market moments since the COVID crisis began in February…
Shares of Air Canada (TSX:AC) have been on the ascent this month, gaining close to 33% in the past month alone on the back of a somewhat decent quarterly earnings report. Indeed, the first quarter was by no means incredible, but it was good enough to win over some notable analyst price target upgrades. And…
