  • Tough Times for Dividend Investors [View article]
    I forgot to mention, keep in mind that the Canadian Royalty Trust tax laws will be changing in 2011, so make sure to re-evaluate them yearly to see if they still fit your investing goals.

  • Tough Times for Dividend Investors [View article]
    Great article and comments. I especially liked the focus on global stocks, which haven't been covered much in many articles posted here.

    The idea is to pick your own dividend stocks, as the funds and ETFs can be slow to rebalance, and as stated, many are already still heavy into the financial sector. A "boring" universe of things like utilities, consumer staples, and health care is a good way to start. You can supplement that with REITs, MLPs, Canadian Royalty Trusts, and bond ETFs.

    You can do your own mutual fund by using something like Folio, or Sharebuilder. I personally use Folio, and it's perfect for a dividend strategy.

    Check out some great authors here like Dividends4Life, and Dividend Growth Investor, as they have links to some great screens and ideas.
