Depends on your risk aversion though. That really only works with incredibly stable stocks, which is a perfectly fine way to go. Personally I stick to structured products through my finance guy then my individual stock trading is riskier because it's side money. If you're looking at riskier stocks then dividends shouldn't factor in as much.
Also a jammed thumb in basketball is actually a pretty big deal, a lot of players would be thrown completely off their game without being able to Palm the ball or put the right spin on their shot. Wrist bruise taking you down for 3 minutes though... lol.
Structured funds i am looking at arent worth the MER (management fees if they have a different name for you)
Based in performance.
Im mostly looking at canadian bank stock. The big 5 are stable and pay dividends consistently with 3-4% yeild.
I want to set aside a smaller portion that i invest more agressively but this is for playing it safe.
Alsoi used to play ball a fair bit ive jammed my thumb its bad but not walk of the court in a game 7 bad.
The funniest was wades reaction to having his head gently touched
