RE:RE:RE:RE:Free FallHey Pork
Fair enough comment on not much capital appreciation in the last 5 years (3.28% according to RBC DI).
If you are a total return investor, then it probably isn't the stock for you. My wife & I are dividend income/growth retirees and are pleased as punch with the last 5 years as that's a ton of dividend income. As I mentioned, we also have some serious capital appreciationas we've owned BCE since May, 2009 at $24.15.
The great thing about investing is that it's "each to his own". Find a strategy that works for you and stick with it.

My wife & I have owned BCE since May 2009 at $24.15 and have never stressed about it.
In the long term it is going to be more than fine and with a fabulous growing divy to boot..
A great long term investment!!!

It's imprtant to note BCE has been absolutely dead money heading for 6 or so years now. I like yield just as everyone else but quote frankly this is an abysmal performance. Seems some arbitrage goes on here, it rises steadily as div date aproaches then spends the next 2-3 days collapsing when the div is out of the stock.
