Dividend........why are people fretting??

[bychoice]

Dividend declared in US$ is 0.036670.
The current US/CAD exchange rate is 0.806.
That would work out to be 0.03667/.806 or .0455 CAD
The dividend in CAD used to be 0.046368.
Sure looks almost the same to me!!!!

It will be even better when the eventual decline of the CAD occurs

Don't forget the 2% currency conversion fee someone is taking. iTrade say's its not them and contacting the company showed me how clueless their IR is! As they don't even know who is getting that conversion fee. I look at the divy change as a 35% cut to us Canadians, yes our dollar is down. But if it was to reach parity (highly unlikely) then it would be a cut. In any case the sell

What are you talking about, 35% cut? The dividend is still eligible as a canadian dividend and you still get full tax credit for it. If anything, this is a 3-5% dividend cut, if that.
