History indicates that it could be the perfect time to add shares after goeasy stock has substantially corrected. Feel free to choose different periods in the chart below to get a sense of goeasy stock’s volatility.

goeasy stock could help make you a millionaire: Here’s how!

In the last two recessions, namely the 2020 global coronavirus pandemic and 2007-08 global financial crisis, goeasy stock experienced substantial declines. Around those times, there was capital tightening. And it was the best time to accumulate shares in the high-growth stock after a massive selloff.

An initial investment of $10,000 in goeasy stock 14 years ago in 2008 has grown to approximately $128,750. That’s a total return of 20% per year. Another way for investors to look at the wealth-creation potential is using the Rule of 72, which approximates that it’d take investors 3.6 years to double their money on a annualized return of 20%. That is a lightning-fast doubling rate!

If you bought goeasy stock at the pandemic market crash bottom in March 2020, you could have pocketed total returns of 68% per year. This investment doubled investors’ money in about a year and almost quadrupled investors’ money in two years and seven months.

The point is not to stress how long it’d take to double your money but to back up the truck on goeasy stock during meaningful corrections, particularly during recessions. An RBC report forecasts that a recession will hit Canada as soon as the first quarter of 2023.

The goeasy business

goeasy is the largest non-prime lender in Canada. More than 30 years ago, it originally began with lease-to-own financing offerings for home entertainment products, computers, appliances, and household furniture. In 2006, it started offering personal loans and home equity loans as well. Last year, it acquired LendCare, which was established in 2004 and provides point-of-sale financing across more than 4,000 merchant partners.

The Foolish investor takeaway

At $106.81 per share at writing, goeasy stock is discounted by about 20% from its long-term normal price-to-earnings ratio. Analysts believe the business can grow its earnings per share by 25% per year over the next couple of years. Furthermore, it provides a nice initial yield of 3.4% today. It’s also a Canadian Dividend Aristocrat with a 17-year dividend-growth rate of 17.3%.

Let’s say we target a conservative total return of 20% per year going forward. An investment of $10,000 would take about 25 years and three months to transform into $1,000,000. If you are able to save and invest an additional $1,000 each month for the same returns, you’d arrive at $1,000,000 in fewer than 15 years.

The bottom line is that under the Foolish investing philosophy, goeasy is a great addition to a diversified investment portfolio. Particularly, investors should consider building a position during market downturns for accelerated long-term growth.

Get Rich With These High-Yield Canadian Dividend Stocks

Image
Dividend stocks are one of the smartest ways to create wealth in the long term. By investing in dividend-paying stocks, one can generate returns in two ways: dividends and capital appreciation. As top dividend-paying companies generally have well-established businesses and a growing earnings base, they generate steady capital gains in the long term. Further, the reinvestment of dividends allows investors to accumulate more shares and create wealth in the long term.  With this background, let’s zoom in on three high-yield Canadian stocks that can help you get rich over time.  Enbridge  Enbridge (TSX:ENB) is a must-have dividend stock, and there are solid reasons behind that. Besides offering a lucrative yield of 6.7% (based on its closing price of $53.14 on May 10), the company has a resilient business that consistently delivers steady growth.  Enbridge owns extensive midstream assets and transports oil and gas. In addition, Enbridge has interests in renewable energy faci...

How much dividend income can you earn?

Passive income. It’s one of the most common financial goals for Canadian investors. Everybody likes making money on a stock trade, but what could be better than a stock that pays you income year in and year out? Such are the kinds of stocks that Warren Buffett and other long-term investors made their fortunes on. This raises a question: Is it possible to make a truly substantial amount of money – let’s say $1,000 per month – with just dividend stocks? Such a thing would be very helpful if it could be done. Consider that, $1,000 per month is more than what the average Canadian gets from the Canada Pension Plan (CPP). If you take the average CPP payment ($811) and add $1,000 per month in dividend income to it, you get to a sum of money that could potentially pay all of your bills. In this article, I will explore the topic of making money with dividend stocks. I will show how much money you’d need to invest to get $1,000 a month in dividend income. I will reveal a stock that...
