      Companies I Invest In? Those With a Future
      If every company I own cuts its dividend by 50% then I am probably making some bad decisions by trying to buy quality stocks when they are cheap and yielding more than 4.7%. Are corporations that manufacture branded alcoholic beverages, and produce and distribute electicity likely to be affected by a very weak economy, probably not to th extent that they'd cut their dividend 50%.

      For that matter, will insurance companies and banks in Canada be in situations where they'll be forced to cut their dividends? Perhaps, but I am betting that they won't. Bank of America cut their dividend by 50% after losing billions on bad mortgages, etc., yielding over 8% at times, and making two industry changing acquisitions. Canadian financial institutions are in much better shape than any of the major U.S. banks that have faltered or cut their dividends.

      Surprise: Bank of America Cuts Dividend By 50%
      As much as I like companies to 'pay daddy', these are unprecedented times and i belive that the CFC and MER acquisitions will pay dividends in the future.

      Dividends: A Bright Spot In a Bleak Time
      Saying that my yield is going up is not an accurate way to represent anything. My yield on cost will only go up if the companies that I own raise their dividends or I buy more at depressed prices. I don't really expect my income from investments to decrease, at the very least it should grow more slolwly than it has in the past. This will give me an opportunity to buy more shares at depressed prices.

      General Electric Presents a Dividend Opportunity
      GE is a stock you buy and put away. The dividend is solid and they are targeting all of the right global trends.

      Husky Energy: High Yielding Oil Play
      Husky just raised their dividend by 25% and announced an earnings increase of 89%, the stock is now yielding about 4.9%.

      I am a little confused as to where this conversation has gone. A yield of 4% for any stock is pretty solid if the underlying growth is still there. Yes dividends cushion falls, another reason why dividend investing is a great strategy for long term capital appreciation.

      Husky Energy: High Yielding Oil Play
      While I am certainly not an 'expert'. A rising dividend with a starting point absolutely beats inflation unless the rate is out of control. Canada's inflation rate is expected to peak at around 4.3%, but is usually kept below 3%. Husky is not a pink sheet stock for me, as I live in Canada. In Canada we have few energy stocks that yield at this level of dividends which are very tax favourable.

      Target: Consistent Dividend Growth History
      I agree with you Roudy. WMT is a better long term hold.

      Why I Traded Petro-Canada for Husky Energy
      No regrets Sean. Since April 27 both stocks are up about 15%. The nice thing about keeping the exposure in the same sector is that theoretically they should both have the same reaction to high oil. The yield and dividend growth are the key factors for the switch though.

      Husky Energy: Still Pulling the Dividend Sled
      I have made an error on this post. The current dividend should read '$0.40/share'.

      Four Reasons to Invest in TD Bank
      I own Royal as well. They are both great companies but I believe TD is a better Canadian retail bank than Royal.
