MaxMy , we are certainly touchy today, perhaps it is the thought of the amount of work you have facing you this summer.The firewood line was meant tongue in cheek as l know you were joking .Luckily in my part of NB the storms while heavy never matched the severity that Nova Scotia expierenced and not one tree came down on my property so l still had to fell them the old way.In regards to dividends and small caps , l agree with you if it is a forever buy and hold , which it isn't but while it works then take advantage of it.By the way larger entities like Suncor , Manulife , Vermillion and Crescent Point to name a few also cut or axed there divs and in the case of Manulife it became a lost 14 years for shareholders.Cheers Max
