Should You Invest for Dividend Income or Maximize Total Returns?

Following Dan’s debate with Kanwal from Simply Investing, Simon and Dan dive into one of the biggest debates in investing—dividend income vs. total return. They break down the pros and cons of each strategy, discussing capital retention, income predictability, sequence of return risk, and sector concentration. Is relying solely on dividends a sustainable retirement strategy, or does a diversified total return approach offer better long-term outcomes? They also share their own experiences, including how Simon structured his parents' portfolio. 

Tickets of stocks/ETFs discussed: NOBL, XIC.TO, CDZ.TO
