Please explain one discrepancy. In your disclosure you indicate that “The Dividend Guy does not own shares in RY”, but in a recent post you talk about how it’s your largest holding – what gives?

I am not sure where you got your info from, but Mergent’s dividend Achievers 2007 lists RY as having 12 years of dividend growth.
The Royal Bank web site only lists dividends back to 2000.
As far as I can tell they are an achiever, not an aristocrat.

Your scoring system doesn’t take into account that RY did not raise the dividend at all in the past year, and could remain on hold for several more quarters. Therefore all these points that you allocate to RY are somewhat…pointless.
