Why Blue-Chip Stock Failure Is Tolerable [View article]
im referring to the 21 companies in the original comment by the SA poster, not the stocks listed by the author (pretty sure he didnt even list 21 stocks)

out of the 21 companies named, not a single one is even a real blue chip company. the term blue chip and large cap is used to interchangeably these days. blue chip is supposed to refer to non-cyclical companies with well known brands, that have relatively stable earnings that do well in good and bad times. that basically rules out US banks & financials (canadian banks could be considered, as the regulatory environment is totally different here), rails, airlines, commodities companies.
not many dividend growth investors would be too heavily invested in that list of 21 anyway. that poster is essentially cherry picking examples of failure from the past. not much different than a DGI who cherry picks success stories like MCD, KO, etc.
as you mentioned in your article, DGIs tend to get their income from diverse sources. its not a huge deal if some dont work out.

i visit computer parts stores now and then with my bf (he's into that stuff, im more of a shoes girl) and you'd be surprised what kind of people are buying from those stores nowadays. its the same crowd that used to buy systems from Dell, HP, Compaq, etc.
those stores like NCIX, Canada Computers, they can build desktops for a lot less than buying from Dell or HP. their laptop/tablet offerings from Asus, Acer, etc, are also cheaper.
dont get me wrong, i have iPad, iPhone but to do good old fashioned productive work, i still need a laptop or desktop. but between my bf and the parts stores, i doubt i will ever again buy either of those from HP or Dell

i believe INTC is one of the few companies not already fully involved in mobile that are set up well to become involved. they have competitive advantages that are not easily replicated, or eroded. it will help them break into and be competitive in any market they choose to enter
being able to buy this stock at a 4.6% dividend yield is crazy. even during 2009 the dividend yield at the bottom for the stock was about 4.7%

i believe it should be 15%? At least as a Canadian, my US investments dividends have 15% withholding.
if you hold it inside 401k, the US equivalent of RRSP, the withholding is not taken, as it falls under a preferential tax treaty Canada has with the US. same for vice versa (canadians holding US stocks inside RRSP)

Vancouver is more bubbly than Toronto. Vancouver might be a nice place to live if you have a lot of money already, but Toronto actually has the income to support the RE prices. the same job in Toronto will pay 15-20% less in Vancouver.
RY is the bank most exposed to canadian real estate slowdown. if someone thinks canadian RE will slow or crash, RY is something to stay away from.

DJIA is a listing that is supposed to represent the breadth of the US economy. that by definition means it can not be entirely composed of blue chips.
