VANGUARD US DIV APPR IDX ETF (VGG-T)

Still buying this. Companies have so much cash that they will raise their dividends. There are also many solid companies like P&G and JNJ. 0.3% MER. Earlier this year, when growth stocks rallied, dividend stocks lagged, but that has since changed. See also his past picks.

VIG vs. VGG in a non-taxable account? And will the CAD go down? The USD won't go down, but he won't speculate on currencies' directions. It's impossible. But BIG is great. VGG is the Canadian one and you can buy it, but there's an extra cost with it. He prefers VIG, the USD one.

He likes this one. It is low in fee and dividend appreciation is a very attractive theme. This is non-hedged.

A different way of playing the U.S. market. It includes stocks like Microsoft and Walmart, companies that will likely increase their dividends. A diversification play.

He likes it. It's a good way to own U.S. stocks that are dividend growers which can keep pace with rising interest rates. But if trade tensions continue, then all bets are off. He still recommends this.

Chart shows a nice upward channel. If you own, and it gets outside of either side of the channel, you could think about moving out. However, the stock market is a good place to be for the next 3-5 months.

(A Top Pick Aug 26/16. Up 10%.) This invests in the index of US stocks. Has a history of increasing dividends over the last 10 consecutive years, but excluding real estate investment trusts. The recent decline in the US$ has hampered returns a little. Thinks dividend growers are going to outperform dividend payers. This is a place to be in a tightening monetary environment.
