Hiya Everyone

So I’ve gone through the process of getting myself stock certificates for 7 different companies, and have enrolled in their Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plans.  I feel I’ve chosen companies that will be around for a long time.

Yes, their prices will fluctuate with the market.  Yes, they could go bankrupt at some point in the future too.   But at the same time, you can’t make decent gains if you don’t take any risks.

After much investigating, I have taken a bit of my savings and have made my first investment in a Canadian Real Estate Investment Trust.

I’ve read a lot of information online and certainly feel REIT’s are a good investment.  For me, it’s important  that the REIT’s investment strategy suits what I feel I would put my money into if I wanted to do all the work that’s involved in real  estate.
