Quarterly Dividends

[Ariahp]

I am not very happy to go from a monthly Dividend to a quarterly Dividend. The obvious advantage of a monthly dividend was 

1) Reinvesting it monthly and

2) Monthly budgeting

Not too impressed, but I guess I have no Option. I will not selll the stock as I like the stock.

Your comments!

I could see a small hike during the transition period to quarterly... That said I think most would prefer to the monthly, but there is likely a rational reason behind abandoning it, maybe administrative costs to payout 3 times more often.

Hey Ariahp, Noted::We are mainly a  dividend/distribution Investor & NOT a trader of any sort but only IF positons get over weighted or  a major down fall within the company..

Hey CSC Good point on the geographic diversification that the TSX multi-nationals give. It always is an interesting topic on how many holdings to have. I think the "sweet" spot is 10-20. With your large portfolio, I can see having more although some of the holdings are too complex for me. I like simple stuff that is easy to understand and easy to follow. One of the beauties of
