The S&P/TSX Composite Index was down 84 points in late-morning trading on July 26. Canadian investors are still battling volatility in the final week of this month. That may drive investors to consider pursuing a passive-income strategy in the months ahead. Today, I want to discuss how you can look to make over $100 a week in your sleep. In this hypothetical, we’ll use a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) and use its entire cumulative contribution room of $81,500.

This dividend stock still offers a monster yield

Chemtrade Logistics (TSX:CHE.UN) is a Toronto-based income fund that offers industrial chemicals and services in North and South America. Shares of Chemtrade have climbed 10% in 2022 at the time of this writing. The stock is up 22% in the year-over-year period.

Investors can expect to see the company’s second-quarter 2022 earnings in early August. In Q1 2022, total revenue increased $77.9 million in the year-over-year period to $390 million. Meanwhile, cash flows from operating activities jumped $44.2 million to a total of $37.8 million. Overall, it was a strong start to the fiscal year for this industrial company.

This dividend stock closed at $8.24 per share on July 25. In our hypothetical, we’ll snag 3,300 shares for a total purchase price of $27,192. It offers a monthly dividend of $0.05 per share, which represents a monster 7.2% yield. That means we can generate weekly passive income of $38.07 going forward.
