Dividends count as income and people who rely on them prefer frequent payouts rather than quarterly. Investing in monthly income stocks is useful for budgeting purposes. This way, the timing of dividend payments can align with your recurring living expenses. If you have $7,000 in free cash to invest, consider putting it in one of Canada’s leading and largest logistics companies. Mullen Group (TSX:MTL) was founded in 1949 and is now a TSX monthly income legend.

Written by Christopher Liew, CFA at The Motley Fool CanadaThe primary benchmark index for Canadian stocks continues to advance, notwithstanding the tariff headwinds. However, investors must still be cautious, not aggressive, despite the recent record closings. The current earnings season can help you pick stocks wisely and firm up investment decisions.

2 weeks ago | fool.ca | Christopher Liew

Stock trading activities this year are choppier compared to 2024. But despite the economic uncertainty caused by the U.S.-initiated tariff war, the TSX displays remarkable resilience. As of May 16, 2025, seven of the 11 primary sectors are in positive territory. The strong rally in the last 30 days indicates that investors’ confidence has returned, too. There are plenty of buying opportunities, including cheap but outperforming dividend stocks.
The Smartest Food Stock to Buy With $3,100 Right Now

2 weeks ago | fool.ca | Christopher Liew

Canadians did not think twice about supporting the “Buy Local” campaign in response to U.S. tariff threats and President Trump’s rhetoric to make Canada its 51st state. Purchasing domestic products and services would help local businesses and strengthen the economy. Sales of Canadian products, especially food, rose as the trend gathered momentum. The movement is also a boon for TSX companies, including grocers like Loblaw (TSX:L) and Metro Inc. (TSX:MRU).
I’d Invest $7,900 in This Single Stock for the Next 25 Years

2 weeks ago | fool.ca | Christopher Liew

Single-stock investing still applies today, although owning multiple stocks across various sectors is highly recommended. Diversification, or not putting all your eggs in one basket, reduces risk. However, if I have $7,900 to invest in one company only, I’d pick Enbridge (TSX:ENB) without hesitation. The large-cap energy stock is worth holding for the next 25 years, if not forever. Energy is a heavyweight sector (second-largest) on the TSX.

Chasing high-yield stocks is risky because they could be cash traps and leave you with less. Reliable and sustainable dividend payments should take precedence over larger payouts. You avoid sinking your portfolio, especially during uncertain market conditions. Income-focused investors can counter today’s market volatility through defensive investing. Consider taking positions in Emera (TSX:EMA) and the North West Company (TSX:NWC).
