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.

There is no fixed schedule to take the Simply Investing Course, you can start the course immediately after you enroll. The course is self-paced and entirely online, plus you get lifetime access to the course.

You can also access the SI Forum, and SI Platform immediately after you enroll.

In the course I use examples of Canadian and U.S. stocks, but you can certainly apply the same concepts to stocks anywhere in the world.

I have customers from Azerbaijan, Sweden, U.S., Thailand, Tanzania, Switzerland, South Africa, Singapore, New Zealand, Romania, Qatar, Norway, Malaysia, India, Hungary, UK, France, Czech Republic, Brunei, Australia, and Canada who have completed the course and successfully applied the dividend value investing principles to  stocks trading in their own country.

Short answer: No

Long answer: The Simply Investing Approach is a long-term strategy for investing in dividend stocks. In the short-term stock prices and stock markets fluctuate. However, in the long-term (5-10 years or more) the stock market can provide great returns.

I teach in the Simply Investing Course that any money you need in less than 5 years should not be invested in stocks (that includes mutual funds, index funds, and ETFs). Imagine your are saving to buy a house/car/vacation and you invest $20,000 in the stock market, what happens if the value of the stocks drops to $14,000 in 2 years, and you need the money in 2 years? This is not a great position to be in, you should not be forced to sell your investment at a loss because you need the money.

You should have a long-term horizon so that you can ride out any market downturns. Therefore it's best to stay invested for at least 5 to 10 years or more. The longer your time horizon, the more you can take advantage of compounding, and growing dividends.

Quick story: In 2001 I invested $2479 in 185 shares in TC Energy for $13.10 each, the dividend at the time was $0.80/share. Today the dividend is $3.48/share, since then I have received over $7300 in dividends alone from this company. My risk with respect to my investment in TC Energy is 0% today. My dividend yield based on the purchase price is now 26%. All this is only possible if you stay invested for the long-term.
