Some Recent Transactions

My dividend paying stocks have been chugging along lately and I have been automatically reinvesting these dividends in more shares, My broker, CSA, takes care of this for me.

For the month of October and to-date in November, I have received the following dividends or payments and completed the subsequent reinvestments into more shares:

Company Dividends Shares Reinvested
Coca-Cola Company $10.61 0.2185 shares
General Electric $10.09 TBD
Wal-Mart Stores $3.04 0.0559 shares
Bank of America $9.77 0.1651 shares
IGM Financial $42.82 0.9017 shares
IGM Financial $42.82 0.9017 shares
S&P/TSX REIT Index $21.02 1.3397 shares
EPCOR Power $12.45 0.5061 shares
Procter & Gamble $10.65 TBD

The thing I like the best about this is that it just happens. I do not need to do anything. All these companies, which I believe in for the long term, continue to throw off cash and I continue to buy more stock.

    Does your strategy assume that the shares in the dividend-bearing stocks you invest in are always trading at fair value?

    For example, if you thought Wal-Mart shares were undervalued while Coca-Cola shares were over-valued, wouldn’t it make sense to reinvest the KO dividends into WMT shares instead?

    I think that’s one of the greatest feelings. When your shares increase every quarter.

    Hi,
    Do you hold separate accounts at CSA: 1 for Cdn. and 1 for US stocks?. I also hold an account there (CDN)but I haven’t purchased any US stocks yet. I wondering if there is much of a cost disadvantage of purchasing US securities via the CDN account.
    I enjoy your most informative posts.
    Thanks
    James

    The way my dividend accounts are set up is it automatically reinvests the dividends regardless of price. I understand where you are coming from - why not put the dividends in a “cheaper” priced stock. However, that would mean I would need to make a judgment call everytime I reinvest. I have found that the less thinking I do the better!! Seriously though, putting the account on auto-pilot like this has worked for me.

    The was the CSA is setup is I can hold both US and CDN stocks in the one account - for an RRSP at least. I do not hold any US stocks outside of an RRSP with them so I am not sure how that would look.
