Today on the show, we welcome dividend investor Don Newman. Don gives an update on the dividend landscape noting that dividends are currently thriving in the economy and where he sees them heading in the next few months. Don notes stability in the economy has led to most companies being in good financial standing. Interest rates remain sticky plus the number of expected rate cuts have reduced leading to a more favourable market sentiment. Don suggests this has also led to a Goldilocks scenario where the economy remains stable, inflation decreases slightly, and the stock market benefits. He adds historically low interest rates have punished savers, forcing them into riskier investments for higher returns. However, dividend stocks remain attractive, especially during rate cuts, as their yields remain stable or even increase over time.  As rates decrease, dividend yields become comparatively more attractive than other investment options. Don says this trend is expected to continue, making dividend stocks a promising choice for investors.   Recorded on April 9, 2024.   At Fidelity, our mission is to build a better future for Canadian investors and help them stay ahead.

On today's podcast, we speak to portfolio manager Don Newman as he reviews 2023 and what opportunities lie ahead for dividend investors. Don manages two dividend-focused Funds, the Dividend Fund and Dividend Plus Fund. Don points out there's been a change in his investment strategy because of the rate changes we experienced this year. He's looking for businesses that can withstand increased rates. Zoning in on companies with less average, lower payout ratios. That means lower dividend yield, but can still grow under higher interest rates. He adds that industrials have been a solid sector as of late. For example, it looks like the inventory destocking cycle is coming to an end which means more shipping opportunities specifically through rail. REITS have had a difficult year, but Don says there are still opportunities in real estate with respect to AI. Data centers could increase in demand next year. Don is looking at firms with large cash flow that can use their unique data along with AI and produce a competitive advantage. Recorded on November 28, 2023.

Prayer is a fundamental and essential practice in Christianity, and the majority of Christians around the world engage in prayer as a central aspect of their faith. Prayer is seen as a way to communicate with God, express gratitude, seek guidance, offer praise, and intercede for others. Yet sometimes, as a Christ follower yourself, you may find yourself engaging in these toxic thoughts: I don't know how to pray. I don't have time to pray. I don't want to bother God with my petty kinds of issues when so many others are suffering in the world. God knows everything already. Why do I have to tell Him about things? How do I really know God is there? After all, He's invisible! If you've ever struggled with prayer, this is the episode for you! We'll tackled these tough THOUGHTS that may be standing in the way of more effective and regular communication with the God you serve and love. Don Newman has over 20 years experience in ministry and building leaders. A born storyteller, he infuses his insights on life and leadership into both his writing and his speaking as a pastor, conference speaker, and legacy coach.

Dividend Plus fund portfolio manager Don Newman joins us on the podcast today. Don discusses fluctuating market conditions, the benefits of dividend investing, and the macro-economic factors influencing his investment decisions.  Don says that it's been interesting to watch how bond markets have been pricing interest rates during the past three to six months. Wages remain sticky, with many individuals locked into multi-year contracts with limited flexibility, and unions that continue to reduce inflation-related losses. Don comments on Canadian banks and explains that while they tend to be profitable early cycle stocks, we're currently at the tail end of the cycle, with the market pricing them down as things start to slow. He says that dividends remain safe, with good capital ratios and valuations.

On May 11, Fidelity Investments Canada hosted FOCUS2023, a daylong event for advisors featuring Fidelity's portfolio managers, subject matter experts and thought leaders. Sessions ran both onstage in Vancouver to a live audience, and from our Toronto studio for a crowd of thousands more online. On today's podcast, we're bringing you portfolio manager Don Newman's session from the event, sitting down with host Pat Bolland. Don manages two dividend-focused Funds, the Dividend Fund and Dividend Plus Fund. He discusses how Dividend equities have worked well during a volatile market environment and generally, how dividends fit overall in an investor's portfolio. In the past, Don has focused on inflation protection and companies with pricing power. This year's his focus is on earnings rather than the total enterprise due to market conditions. He says earnings have held up well so far and that can be attributed to companies raising prices, seeing stable demand, and improving labor availability. He also adds his current strategy is to focus on maintaining a portion of the portfolio with predictable earnings and buy stocks at a reasonable price. Recorded on May 11, 2023.

February has been a volatile month for markets following a number of inflation prints. And while there are signs that inflation is coming down, it is still sticky. Our guest today is portfolio manager Don Newman who reminds us it's important to have something to offset inflation in your portfolio. So why are dividends the best option in today's environment? And what economic data should you keep an eye out for? Don, who manages Fidelity Dividend Plus Fund for Canadian investors, answers these questions and more, with host Pamela Ritchie today. Don also looks at what is happening in today's markets, and what might be next from the Federal Reserve and Bank of Canada. He reflects on the journey we've had from record low interest rates, into the peak of the pandemic and the associated stimulus, now on to higher interest rates and having seen higher inflation. Don shares that dividends can help maintain the purchasing power of your savings, providing yield plus growth. Also, looking at earnings season today, among other topics, Don shares which sectors and industries he is finding with attractive growth, as more companies are showing negative revisions.

As a passionate historian of the church and revival, Don has benefited from the writings and stories of many great intercessors of the church, including some of his own ancestors. These inspired truths are all part of his new book Praying for Reign. It is easy to underestimate the impact of prayer; however, Don believes we can develop a thoughtful, intentional prayer practice—a practice rooted in understanding the types of prayers God yearns for us to pray. Cultivating this type of prayer practice is revolutionary, both of our own lives and the world around us. It's the first step for those who wish to be a part of the army that establishes God's kingdom here on earth… and it all starts when we learn how to Pray for Reign.

Portfolio manager of Fidelity Dividend Plus Fund, Don Newman, joins us today to share his outlook and view on opportunities in dividend investing for 2022. In addition to managing Fidelity Dividend Plus Fund, Don is a subportfolio manager for Fidelity Canadian Asset Allocation Fund, Fidelity Dividend Fund, Fidelity Income Allocation Fund, and Fidelity Monthly Income Fund. In this episode, Don discusses the concerns about rising inflation and the use of dividend-paying investments to protect investors' purchasing power. As inflation rises, GIC products are no longer yielding as much interest and investors in GICs are losing purchasing power. Don addresses the dividend market shifts over the past few years as well as his outlook for the upcoming year in the material, financial, real estate, utilities, and consumer goods sectors. With rising inflation pressures on the market, dividend investing allows Canadians to have income coming in steadily and the opportunity to compound investments over time. Recorded on November 30, 2021.

Joining the show today for a look at dividends is portfolio manager Don Newman. Don shares his dividend outlook, opportunities he is seeing currently, and how he is positioning Fidelity Dividend Plus Fund to add value now and in the future. Also, with inflation and the ability of our purchasing power to keep up with inflation on everyone's minds, Don looks at what's next for the Canadian consumer. Don explains that growing income is very important to Canadians, and with dividend-paying stocks you benefit from capital appreciation over time as earnings grow. This can be especially important in keeping up with inflation concerns and generating more income than money sitting in a bank account or GIC. Don explains what a dividend-paying company actually is, shares his investment approach as a “growth at a reasonable price” investor, and speaks about how he is also a Director of Research.

Inflation continues to ripple through the economy, and many investors wonder how they should position portfolios for income and capital appreciation. We welcome Don Newman, portfolio manager of Fidelity Dividend Plus Fund to discuss the outlook for dividend-paying companies and dividend yields as the environment begins to change. Don says fundamentals currently look good, valuations started relatively low, and the economy is doing well; because of this, dividends are an attractive place to be. He also shares his thought on inflation, noting that he believes there are two sides. On one side, there is going to be inflation, and on the other side, it is secular because you can't have long-term inflation when you have demographics trending older. Don has three different buckets he likes: secular growers, good stable dividend companies, and beaten-up deep cyclicals. Additionally, he believes that Canada will benefit from reopening and discusses positioning for a rise in interest rates. Recorded on June 8, 2021.

Portfolio manager and director of research Don Newman discusses the outlook for dividend-paying companies and dividend yields as the environment begins to change with the rollout of the vaccine. Don manages Fidelity Dividend Plus Fund, and he thinks the current dividend landscape looks good. A reopening trade is happening, which can be great for dividend stocks; interest rates are moving up; valuations and yields are both looking good; and there is, he adds, a compelling yield argument right now. As for inflation, Don thinks that the most critical thing is to protect a client’s purchasing power. A good way to do this is to invest in a dividend fund; as the prices rise, you can see more income through the dividend stream. Don currently holds more commodities than the average dividend fund manager. Commodities are cheap on a relative basis and very “under-owned” right now. He wouldn’t call what we are seeing a super-cycle, but he believes there has been underinvestment in the area in the last five to ten years.  Recorded on March 11, 2021.

Don Newman, portfolio manager, shares what initially got him into investing, discusses Fidelity’s research resources, and touches on the benefits of individual investors having a financial plan. Don’s investment process is to search for companies with strong balance sheets, but that are not so attractive that their valuations have been blown out of proportion. Don also explains how he is positioning his funds to generate income with dividend investing, and shares his outlook for markets and dividend investing in 2021. Don is Director of Research at Fidelity Investments Canada, and portfolio manager of Fidelity Dividend Plus Fund. Don also is equities sub portfolio manager on several funds, including Fidelity Dividend Fund, and Fidelity Monthly Income Fund. Recorded on December 17, 2020.

Dividend investor Don Newman discusses dividend-paying companies and dividend yields in today’s current environment and in the year ahead.  He says dividend-paying companies may be a great option for investors who are seeking yield. He says these companies are trading at a very attractive price, are maintaining their dividends, and yielding roughly the same amount at high-yield bonds and with more opportunity for upside capture as the economy reopens in 2021 and 2022.  Don stresses the importance of differentiating between secular winners and COVID winners.  For example COVID winners are soup companies and laptop manufacturers.  He says a portfolio built solely on COVID winners will be very imbalanced. 

In this episode of Living a Life Worth Remembering, Don Newman interviews his daughter Ashlee Kasten as they talk about her latest book "Lessons I Found In The Laundry Basket". No one can have quite the impact on the family that a Godly Mother can have. Ashlee shares the encouraging truth that mothers can have a lasting influence upon their children and marriage without being perfect. If you are a mom you are going to enjoy this uplifting and even humorous look at the amazing influence any mother can have through God.

Portfolio manager Don Newman shares his outlook on the durability of global businesses at this point of the COVID-19 pandemic and the opportunities that exist for income-focused investors. Recorded on September 1, 2020.

Portfolio manager Don Newman explores the key trends in dividend investing as countries look toward lifting lockdown restrictions and companies seek to return their balance sheets to pre-crisis levels. In Don’s opinion, the 45% run-up on the S&P 500 Index had a few key drivers, such as optimism related to reopening the economy, and the monetary policy response from central banks. For example, the Federal Reserve added about $3 trillion to its balance sheet in order to provide liquidity to the market, and to push people into risk assets. It was also driven by fiscal stimulus of about $200 billion in Canada, which helped stabilize consumer spending. Don is looking for companies with less-than-optimal leverage on their balance sheets, that won’t spend the next couple of years paying off debt and that can continue to grow, as well as companies with sustainable dividends that will continue to trade at premiums. Don believes share buybacks will be off the table for several companies for some time, because it doesn’t look good to lay off workers and then buy back stock. He believes dividends may replace buybacks over the next couple of years. Recorded on June 25, 2020.

Don Newman, director of research, and portfolio manager of Fidelity Dividend Plus Fund, continues to monitor the markets very closely as the severity and swiftness of the downturn has surprised investors. Prior to the current market downturn, Don had been cognizant of the length of this market cycle with the markets reaching historical highs, primarily off multiple expansion as opposed to quality earnings growth. In that market environment, Don had been taking below average risk. Although the current situation in the market, with regards to COVID-19 and the oil shock, has been unexpected, Don notes that selective individual stock valuations do look much more attractive now. Recorded on April 29, 2020.

Don Newman is a portfolio manager focused on high-quality dividend-paying companies. He is currently looking at the durability of businesses following the market correction in March. Don emphasizes that Fidelity’s analysts are continually examining the potential duration of COVID-19 and assessing how long a company can continue to generate decent returns and pay dividends. Don notes that March was the busiest month of his career at Fidelity, with stock prices moving from peak price points coming into the market volatility to a trough of over 30%. Recorded on April 8, 2020.

Everyone struggles with negative thoughts and feelings, but unfortunately not everyone knows how to conquer them.

We've all seen them. In the back dining room of the Arcade Restaurant, behind a bookshelf at Burkes Books, and in coffee shops, lobbies and offices all over town. They are the Don Newman's now-iconic photos of 1940s, '50s and '60s Memphis. For this week's show, we sat down with the two leaders of the Newman to Now project, project director Emily Cohen and photographer Gary Walpole. Their project presents the photos in their historical context as well as against the same exact locations today.

My all time favourite political show is Power & Politics with Rosemary Barton on CBC. I’ve been watching the show, on and off, for the past ten years all the way back to a time when Power & Politics was just called “Politics” and Don Newman was the host and Rosie was an up and coming, scrapper, of a political journalist. Don would open the show with his famous “Welcome to the Broadcast” line. His last show prior to his retirement was full of sniffles and awes as he told Rosie that her success in being a journalist relied on her “just being herself.” Well, Don was right, eventually. It was just pure silly oversight on Don’s part, but he forgot about gender inequities in the workplace. First, Evan Soloman took over Don’s job despite the fact that I’m pretty sure he didn’t do much political reporting prior to (think Sunday morning show host) and from one puff interview after another I stopped watching. Then Evan Soloman decided to partake in a few improprieties using his CBC job to sell some expensive artwork to some fancy people, and BOOM it was Rosie’s time to shine. Well, not quite yet. The CBC named Rosie the temporary host of Power & Politics, because we all know ladies we need to earn our way. It was only after a truly slaying interview with Conservative MP Chris Alexander on the Conservatives inaction on the Syrian Refugee Crisis that Rosemary finally proved her chops to the CBC brass and got the job! Since then, Rosie has solidified herself as “my type of oprah” weaving good-hearted fun with hard-hitting interviews. It’s certainly the best way to consume Canadian Politics. So, there I was, last week watching my favourite political show. Rosie was interviewing a fella by the name of Dominic Barton (no relation) who is on the government’s Advisory Council on Economic Growth. By the sounds of it, it’s a group of people in suits, pretty sure the suits part is a requirement, and they brainstorm ways the federal government can improve the economic growth of the country. Pretty dry stuff. Indeed! The main substance of the interview was how does the Trump administration affect a trade dependent country like Canada, and Dominic’s response was two-fold--it’s a challenge and it’s an opportunity. Dominic believes that the challenges the Trump administration poses could, in a way, jolt the Canadian economy to a new level of growth. As the USA is pulling in on itself, we can take advantage of their absence and build new relationships with other countries and enter a new era of Canadian economic wealth. Sounds divine, in a twisted sort of way, to take advantage of what is essentially a horrible and chaotic situation for our neighbours to the south. Yet, to think that the Canadian government and Canadian companies wouldn’t try to make the most out of a bad situation would be a bit naive. Case in Point. At the end of January, a group of Canadian tech companies sent an open letter to the Canadian Government to ask for an “immediate and targeted visa” to those people affected by the United State’s Muslim Ban. Was it a political stand against government overreach and Islamophobia? Or, were they ceasing the opportunity to recruit top talent to their companies. The later, maybe, yes, definitely. Which brings us to this week’s episode, as we delve into the cashew industry and look at a few countries taking advantage of a bad situation. This week’s episode is Cashews: When Opportunity Strikes. First off, before we continue, I would like you do something. If you wouldn’t mind, bring up your internet browser and search Cashew Apple.

It looks like an apple is midway through a bowel movement, and it reminds me that, at some point, I really need to get down to the equator so I can try this cashew apple out. If you are not too sure what you are looking a...
