This Changes Everything: One Of The Most Important Shifts For Dividend Investors
Inflation isn't just back, it's becoming policy. From skewed CPI data to deficit-driven dollar moves, we're entering a new and lasting macro era. The U.S. may now prefer higher inflation to fix its balance sheet and boost growth. That changes everything, including how we invest, where we invest, and why. I'm not overhauling my strategy. But I'm sharpening my focus on pricing power, hard assets, and income that's built for this new reality.

Canadian Natural Resources: A Core Energy Holding With Remaining Upside
Canadian Natural Resources offers a massive, low-cost reserve base, low maintenance capital needs, and strong shareholder returns. Despite not trading at a valuation multiple discount, my DCF model supports a fair value of US$47.38 per share. Key risks include exposure to Canadian oil price discounts, asset concentration, and potential regulatory changes.
