RE:RE:RE:Dividend safetyThis stock is a safety stock and is one that investors gravitate towards when the economy looks like it is going bad.
You can watch this stock and as the market dips on bad news this one dips less and can rise as investors know their money is relatively safe as is their payout. Look at the March 2020 covid drop and you will see that the share price on this stck only dropped 15% as super safe stocks like Canadian banks dropped 30%+. They also never cut their dividend and are trading above their pandemic drop now so the dip was immaterial unless you chose to buy more and average down.
You can still buy up until the day before the ex-div and still get this quarter's dividend but may see a bigger dip in share price after it goes ex-div which may afford a better buy in price.
These are the choices you have to weigh out. GLTY

They are dipping now so it's a good time to buy before they announce their next dividend. Expect a boost to the dividend in Q1 2022 and some share price growth from here.
All just my opinion DYODD and GLTY
I, too, am looking to get back into BCE for their div stability and pretty good price appreciation. However, all this talk of inflation and interest rates going up in 2022 might put a damper on their stock price. What'ya think?
