Nice to see the payoff - wish I'd held on a little longer, but I can't complain. The stable dividend made it wicked easy to buy the dips and sell the peaks, so I've done well over the years.

Has been a nice ride. Bought a few years ago and collected the div while riding this up. This bump is the icing on the cake and helps the wounds of some of the dogs I've had ...ha ha.

It has quite a bus ride. Ive held this through thivk and thin for so long i can't remember. Over time i accumulated a fair stack in RRSPs, RESPs, ATSVs and pontificated on here last year that i couldn't understand why someone hadn't bought them. Ill be sad to see it go. Can't think of another place that is recession resilient and pays 8% (10.5% on my average cost) and allows you to
