The Dividend Girl

Dividend Forecast for October 2011 is $2041 (BNS,BCE,CM,HCR)

So there I was in Chicago in 2010. I went to the Oprah show, I caught a Chicago Bulls pre-season game and stumbled across the Chicago Marathon. 45,000 people took part in this marathon each striding at their own pace. In the end those who cross the 26 mile mark are rewarded with the satisfaction of a job well done.

What I love most about marathons is that even as you are running amongst others, you are ultimately running against your own best time. Just like investing, you can make it to the forbes 400 list but to go the distance it takes discipline, poise and self-management. You would never sprint to the finish line if you knew you had 26 miles to go. Take the time to study what the companies you are invested in. Know what they are doing and understand how they are changing on a continual basis. The main catalyst in the 10-10-10 marathon was the heat. What are the threats you need to consider when looking at your stocks? Every industry has its strengths and weaknesses. That's why it's so important to study them ahead of time.
