RE:RE:DividendNot too sure where ot being on my comments to this post. I guess a good place to start is that why the heck would you be posting if you;re sitting in a pub in Czech Rep. Why wouldn't you just enjoy your beer. When my wife & I go on vacation, we completely disconnect from any news including market news. We just enjoy our hiking, sight-seeing, camping, relaxing around the campfire, etc. We typically go a couple 2 or 3 weeks trips per year and I never check anything a sinlge time. I don;t have a cell or smartphone and we have a perfect income portfolio that doesn;t need much maintenatcne so that makes it even easier. to just kick back and relax :-)
It's always each to his own on what they hold. I like a few of your hodings and have some of them. I really don;t like a few like AD.UN, DIV, DBM, PLZ.UN, MKP, and SRU.UN.
Lastly, not everyone is a total return investor. Us pure income investors only really care about how much dividend income twe generate. Capital appreciation actually doesn't really matter. It really only affects how big the inheritance is going to be.

I don't understand why you have to put your money in the misery of this BCE dog, when there is tons of better choices.
I hold AD.UN , DIV ,DBM, ENB, EIF, FCD,KEY, PLZ, BIP.UN ,BK, CPX ,C, MAIN, MKP, PPL, SPG, SRV, SRU, BCE, SIA. Accept PLZ and DBM ( red in one account, green in other) the rest of the holdings are in "dark" green . I hold a little bit of BCE just for decoration. A few days ago sold C in one account to switch to CM. My biggest holding is BIP.UN. In mean time ( today) I am experiencing a financial orgasm from BIP.UN and RWT up 6% on declared and increased dividend by 6.3 % . All portfolios are up 14% over 4 accounts. It is not only about dividends but also to grow capital. Right now sitting in the pub in Czech Republic and drinking one of the best beers in the world while collecting my dividends.
Cheers.
