<p>Free cash flow is one of those metrics that can panic investors fast—especially when it trends down for several years. Using six well-known stocks (plus lessons from the recent TELUS episode), we show you how to read a declining free cash flow chart with context: when it's a temporary byproduct of heavy investment, and when it's a sign the business model is getting squeezed.</p> <p>Get the Updated Dividend Rock Star List!</p> <p>Make sure to check out the complete show notes.</p> <p>YouTube: http://bit.ly/2Zs6r1r<br /> FB: http://bit.ly/2Z7Q5...

<p >This episode is a numbers- and strategy-focused deep dive into TELUS, right as earnings drop. Mike explains why TELUS used to be an attractive mix of a telecom cash cow plus "tech-like" growth segments—but why that story has become far less convincing as revenue stagnates, debt pressure remains high, and dividend growth has been paused.</p> <p >The core takeaway isn't "buy" or "sell."

<p>CDRs were pitched as a simple way for Canadians to buy U.S. (and now a few international) stocks in Canadian dollars—with built-in currency hedging.</p> <p>Five years after their launch, we revisit what CDRs actually are, what they do well, and why the "convenience" story often comes with a price tag investors don't fully see. If you're holding CDRs—or considering them—this episode helps you decide if they still make sense for your long-term plan.</p> <p>Download the FREE and Honest Guide to CDRs!</p> <p>Make sure to check out the complete show notes.<...

<p>Today, we focus on the tax moves that actually matter (and the ones that waste your time), especially if you're sitting on big unrealized gains in a non-registered account.
