RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:No One Wants To Talk About This Stock Hey Dean
Good work on your cash stockpile. It will definitely come in handy in the next while.
I'm a tad concerned that inflation is really going to be sticky mainly because of the green movement. It doesn't help anything but sure leads to higher costs for everything. I'm thinking that a 4-5% BOC rate might be the new norm (as it was in the 60s and before the GFC). I think that means that dividend stocks will have to normailze to that so the great run since the GFC is done for now. From our perspective, that's totally fine as long as no/minimum divy cuts.
Very interesting times for sure.

Only good part is am sitting on a bunch of cash and waiting to pick up some bargains when long rates quit climbing. Don't see long or short rates leveling off for at least another 8-10 months so will keep stockpiling cash as it shows up. Guy can make 4.6% in short term savings like RBF2014 so doesn't hurt so bad to sit on cash. Stay well.

How she go?
All great down this way. Just back from a fabulous 2.5 week camping/hiking trip to Utah. We didn't have any internet access so had no idea of the latest dividend stock spanking.
Totally agree with your comments on interest rates. It's quite an interesting time for us as since 2011-13, we've been converted to stricly TSX dividend income/growth investors. We tweaked along the way like dumping all pure renewables and REITs, (both for huge profits). We now only hold 12 main stocks and 1 minor in just 4 sectors - utils, midtsream, banks, and telcos (all being interest rate sensitive)
I think this will be our real test of our income matters/total returns doesn't strategy as interest rates have been artifically low the whole 2011-2022 timeframe. I think we are just seeing the proper value reassignment. Not sure how much lower it will go but the big thing we'll be watching is if these dividend stalwarts can avoid any divy cuts and how many of them can continue to increase their divy.
I actually am very confident that we will be able to stay the course.and we have no plans to sell anything and plan to continue to add to our existing holdings with our extra dividend income. I guess we will see if we are true dividend investors. :-)

When your primary return is dividend yield rising rates and higher rates for longer are not your buddy. Rest of the utilites, REITs, Telecoms etc are showing the same pattern..
