No more Yellow Page YLO?
I don’t know many of the Top 10 companies…@@

Oh well, people should find some Screener tools in their broker web page, like TD Waterhouse has one

I don’t know if Google Screen works well on Canadian stocks, but for US it’s great

Great list!

I have EIF, BCE, TA, and also YLO (as Jerry Hung mentions above).

I heart dividends!

Question about the SLF price…I have watched this stock in the past and I thought ~$11 looked low, it’s currently trading at ~$28 on the TSX. Dividend yield looks right though.

Interesting list but I find it very difficult to trust stocks that trade at 1 or 2$…. especially when it comes to long term dividend growth

And yes, SLF looks off in terms of price, but the other stuff looks good

Actually, the #1 looks attractive and is paying less than its earnings, so I’ll have to look more into it. TFB, did you do some research about it?

Some of the prices aren’t right … CPG trades at 37$ and Telus is near 39$. TransAlta is at 20$. Sorry, I own them so it jumped at me when I saw the price.

I have been watching the TMX Group. It’s basically the Toronto Stock Exchange It must be getting a fee on all transactions.

@ Jerry, I actually took only stocks, no income trust.

I know that most of this information can be found through stock screener but you know how easy it is when you just have to look at the chart? hehehe!

I might take stocks only over $5 next time in order to avoid smaller companies.

@ IS,

I should definitely take a closer look and post the result of my analysis in my next newsletter. thx for the idea!

@ Passive Income Earner,

yeah, I noticed that too… this is weird, I ‘ll see what happened when I imported the data to the blog…

Hey PB – who’s on your watch list, from this list?

PBH might be a nice pick-up for the TFSA in 2011?

“PB” – sorry, fast fingers….”FB”

What is the payout ratio based on? I know for PBH it’s 71% based on distributable cashflow for a rolling 12 month period.

@ Financial Cents,

I will actually get more into the study of those stocks since we have purchased The Dividend Guy Blog. I’ll definitely talk about them shortly

@ Arnold,

Payout ratio = Dividend per share / earnings per share

In the past year, the company made 1.06$ of earnings and paid out 1.18$…so that does come out to a payout ratio over 1

Here’s a good article on how to invest in Canadian dividend stocks including bank stocks http://www.high-yield-dividend-stocks.com/canadian-bank-dividends.html

The first week of December 2010 is an earnings week for Canada’s top 6 largest banks and it kicked off to a very good start with National Bank of Canada (Public, TSE:NA) announcing it is increasing its dividend yield on common shares from $0.62 to $0.66 per share, a whopping 6.45%. This increase goes in to effect after the first quarter January 31, 2011 payable on February 1, 2011 to shareholders of common shares on December 23, 2010. The company earned a net profit of $287-million in 4th quarter 2010 or $1.66 per share. This profit & dividend increase (the first time in 3 years for National Bank of Canada) signals the Canadian banking sector is very healthy & strong, as opposed to its US counterparts who are still facing difficulty re-organizing their mortgage backed loans & other credit products.

FYI for people checking this out, this article is from 2010 and is not accurate to date what so ever.

@Wonder,
I’ve actually updated the list in February 2011 but I forgot to edit the text to show the latest update. thx for the reminder, it is now fixed.
