The key is to buy quality stocks when they are priced low (undervalued).

A quality company (stock) is one which passes all the 10 SI Criteria. Stock prices change all the time, each day our Platform shows you which stocks are priced low, and which ones are quality companies. The Platform also shows you which stocks to avoid. The Platform applies the 10 SI Criteria to over 6000 stocks each day.

In order to make money you need: time in the market and money

Time to take advantage of dividend increases. The younger you start investing the better off you will be. It takes many years for dividend increases to finally start yielding double-digit returns. With enough time on your side you will be able to weather any economic downturns.

You need money to make money. Here's a look at the returns based on how much you invest, for a single stock yielding 5%:

• $1000 invested after one year will yield $50 in dividends
• $10000 invested after one year will yield $500 in dividends

The more money you invest the more money you can make.

Having both time and money will help you achieve financial success sooner.

To answer your question then, how much money can I make? This will depend on how much money you are able to invest, and how long you are able to stay invested.

You can download our Excel Spreadsheet to estimate how much money you can make. You can then update the values in the green cells to try out different scenarios.

Investing in anything carries risk, including mutual funds, index funds, and ETFs.

It's important to focus on investing in quality dividend paying stocks (when they are priced low) to minimize your risk.

Each day the SI Platform analyzes over 6000 companies in North America, and identifies the safest ones to invest for the long-term. You can minimize your risk by investing in profitable companies providing much needed products and services. Further increase your margin of safety by buying these quality companies when they are priced low (undervalued).

Online investing has made it very easy to buy and sell stocks from the comfort of your own home.

Buying and selling stocks is as simple as paying your bills online. Online stock brokerages provide you with all the tools and support you need to help you buy/sell stocks. Our Platform helps you know which stocks to buy and which ones to avoid.

As a stock holder you are part owner of the company.

As part owner of the company you are entitled to share in the profits of the company. An annual dividend (part of the profit) is a cash payment made to stock holders.

Some companies in our Platform have been paying dividends for over 100 years. The other way to make money with stocks is when the stock price increases and you can sell your stocks for a profit.
