Pat McKeough is one of a select few commentators who stands out from the many shills, flacks and frauds who inhabit the investment universe. The extent of my personal investment advice is to heed the advice of this gentleman.

Our experts use a proven, research-driven system built on over 40 years of investing experience. Every stock goes through our exclusive Dividend Sustainability Ratings, designed to answer one key question: will this company keep paying—and raising—its dividend?

We evaluate eight essential factors like dividend history, earnings strength, balance sheet quality, and management commitment. This lets us filter thousands of North American stocks to find the few built for consistent income and long-term growth.

In short, our analysts do the work—so you can invest confidently in dividend stocks built to last, not short-term fads.

Dividend Advisor covers both Canadian and U.S. dividend-paying companies.

We focus on opportunities that offer the best mix of reliable income and growth potential, no matter which side of the border they’re on. Each pick clearly states whether it’s a Canadian or U.S. stock so you can decide what fits your portfolio.

You’ll receive new recommendations in every issue of Dividend Advisor, delivered monthly to your email.

We also send Weekly Hotlines to update you with any market changes that affect our recommendations, so you always know what to do next.

Dividend Advisor is designed for investors who want consistent income, lower volatility, and clear guidance on what to buy and when. Even if you’re just starting out, the straightforward explanations make it easy to follow and make decisions based on your needs.

It’s not for investors looking to get rich quick, but for those focused on long-term wealth and reliable income growth.

Not at all. Dividend Advisor is written in plain language with step-by-step guidance. Every issue explains why we like each stock, what to watch for, and when to take action. Whether you’re new to investing or have years of experience, you’ll find it simple to follow.

You’re protected by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.

If you’re not completely happy, just contact our customer service team anytime during your Free Trial to cancel - no questions asked. After your Free Trial ends, you can still request a pro-rated refund for any unused portion of your subscription.

WHAT YOU GET ACCESS TO

🗓️ A NEW ISSUE EVERY MONTH

Every month, you will receive a new issue of The Successful Investor with specific Canadian stock recommendations and the full reasoning behind each one.

Not just what to buy — but why it meets the Safety-First criteria, what the business actually does, how it’s valued, and what to watch for going forward.

You’ll never own a stock you don’t understand.

WEEKLY UPDATES

Markets change fast — and we keep you ahead.

Each week, we send Hotline updates that tell you when to hold, buy more, or sell our recommended stocks. You’ll always know what to do next.

📊 3 PORTFOLIOS - CHOOSE THE ONE THAT FITS YOUR NEEDS

Not every investor is the same. Your subscription gives you access to three distinct portfolios — follow the one that matches your stage of life and risk appetite, or draw from all three as your situation evolves:

Conservative Growth Portfolio: Quality Canadian stocks built for steady, long-term growth with reduced downside risk. The portfolio with the 30-year track record.
 
Aggressive Growth Portfolio: Higher-growth opportunities with limited risk for investors willing to accept more volatility in exchange for stronger upside.
 
Income Portfolio: Stocks selected for reliable dividend income alongside long-term capital growth.

🔓 INSTANT ACCESS TO ALL PAST STOCK PICKS

The moment you join, you unlock every past issue and stock pick. You can see what we recommended before & how those stocks performed.

TSI Dividend Advisor recommends Canadian Investors the best stocks to buy that will pay a stable income for years to come - even in market downturns.

Our ‘Safety-First’ Stock Picking System

Not every dividend-paying stock is a safe one. Not every company with a strong recent quarter has a strong balance sheet.

Pat’s system starts with a simple filter: only companies with solid earnings records, strong balance sheets, and a proven history of surviving tough markets make the cut. These are businesses that have weathered recessions, corrections, and crises — and come out the other side intact.

If a company can’t clear that bar, it doesn’t matter how attractive the yield looks or how bullish the headlines are. It doesn’t make the list.

Three principles behind every recommendation we make

Stay Clear of Stocks in the Headlines

When a stock becomes a media darling, investors pile in. Expectations rise.

When these ‘media favourites’ fail to live up to those expectations; they drop much further than they would have if they had been less widely followed.

We downplay or avoid these stocks altogether.

Everything you need to invest with discipline — delivered on a schedule.

You don’t confuse investing with gambling. 

You believe in owning quality businesses — not chasing stories, not following trends, not buying something just because everyone else is excited about it. 

You’re disciplined enough to ignore the noise — when headlines turn negative and other investors panic, you’d rather have a clear process to follow than react emotionally. 

You believe in staying in control of your own investments — you’re not looking to hand over the wheel, just to have someone you trust doing the research behind every decision you make. 

You’ve always believed that steady compounding beats speculation — and you’re looking for a research process that reflects that belief. 

You’re chasing hot tips, meme stocks, or whatever BNN and CBC are excited about this week. 

RIGHT FOR YOU IF:

You’re looking for get-rich-quick advice. 

You’re chasing the highest possible returns regardless of risk. 

You make investing decisions based on what your neighbour bought or what’s trending in a Facebook group. 

You DON’T want a boring portfolio that delivers steady, consistent returns and lets you sleep at night. 

NOT RIGHT FOR YOU IF:
