Hey Dean Thanks on the Christmas and New Year's wishes. Right back at you. The higher yield as well as the punishing on the share price are definitely the reasons for us upping our BNS holding. As I've mentioned, capital appreciation is secondary to a stable dividend income/growth. Take care Sarge

Good thing is, worst they will do is lag like they have for the last 20 years, sure aren't in any danger of going broke and it does pay a good dividend. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and all on the boards.

This is one of the few places where we disagree a little. My wife and I own BMO, BNS, RY, and TD and have only been adding to BNS lately to the tune of 370 shares at $68.40 ($25.3k). We also plan to add another $5k on Jan 3 with some of our new TFSA dough.

We always base our allocation on book value so BNS has the highest book value and the other 3 are similar to each other. RY has the largest current value and the other 3 are similar to each other. (meaning BNS has under-performed and RY has been the best performer).

Just like TRP, we didn;t get it at the very bottom but I'm very confidenent we will do well in the longer term.

Also, we do plan on adding to the other 3 banks but our current plan doesn;t show that happening until 2024.

Take her easy

No doubt RY is a top performer over time, current PE about 11.5.

BNS appears to be trading at a significant discount at current prices with PE of 8. Long term PE value closer to 10-11. Suggests good near term upside relative to RY. Higher dividend also generates superior cash flow.
