This stock's not a mover. It pays a 5.25% dividend now and the price stays there. This is an investment for return and not growth. I can only see it moving if the dividend is increased. Unfortunatelly the days of income trusts are gone and so is the $1.56 dividend.

It's possible to ride the seasonal stock price cycle for gains. But growth in this industry is tough both domestically and internationally. Very competitive. Earnings seem to fluctuate significantly and hard to predict.

Vicwest earnings have not fluctuated over the last 10 Q's and have actually been increasing year over year most of the Q's. There are small increases in price when approaching div cutoff date. This is just a steady div payer & not much room for growth unless they increase divy.
