On the topic of Canadian bank stocks…my favorite Canadian bank (Scotiabank – BNS) raised its dividend slightly. I knew that they had avoided a lot of the subprime mess and that their international holdings are growing, but you can never be too sure.
It’s always good to take a second look at companies that don’t raise the dividend as expected.

Ever since I heard a guy talking on CBC radio about how great dividend stocks were, I’ve been studying them. I’ve wanted to make a portfolio, but as a 31 year old, only either studying or backpacking overseas, I’ve not had much of a chance.
As a new investor, it is taking a while for me to put meaningful amounts of cash into each asset class. Pennywise and dollar foolish, I don’t want to pay the trading fees associated with purchasing small amounts of several companies. Also, my wife does not share my vision of investing when the Money Market is guaranteed. Also, in a couple years, I want to put a down payment on a house, so I wonder how bright it is to make a portfolio before I buy a home.
I really envy your portfolio, but all I have is $10000 in the Money Market, and $10000 in Allied Capital – not a dividend aristocrat, but pretty darn close. After looking at your portfolio, I would like to buy $5000 worth of shares in Bank of America if I can convince my wife. Hopefully I can come up with a good argument.
