An active dividend and growth investor, Dan has been involved with the website since its inception. He is an electrician by trade and is consistently looking to grow his portfolio and expand his knowledge. When Dan started Stocktrades, the message was and still is that anyone with dedication and determination can accomplish their goals, even if they start out with little knowledge of the playing field, which is in this case, the global markets.

Dan’s investing background is completely 100 percent self-taught from a young age. He believes that extensive investment growth can be achieved by anyone at any time, the dedication just needs to be there. Dan has an extensive portfolio of Canadian dividend and growth stocks and continues to maximize his contributions to his TFSA and RRSP whenever he can. His investment journey began when he realized how much these big-bank mutual funds can chew into your investment returns. The idea of developing his own portfolio, making his own investment decisions, and simply paying nothing but the commission costs by his brokerage was the clear path to financial success.

At a young age of 27, Dan has never been in any form of consumer debt. Smart spending and money management have allowed him to expand his investment portfolio into the real estate business, currently owning two rental properties. He hopes to purchase more in the near future and create a solid amount of passive income flow.
