Rogers Communication (RCI.B) increased dividends by 10% this week bringing their dividends to $0.355 and a yield of 4.07%. Rogers is a Canandian Dividend Aristocrat and continues to reward investors. I do not hold a position in Rogers but it is on my short list and is trading near the bottom of its 52-week low.
TransCanada Corporation (TRP), another Canadian Dividend Aristocrat, also increased its dividend after a quarter that exceeded expectations. The increase of 2 cents, for a total of $0.42 per quarter, represent a 5% increase and provides TRP with a 4.42% dividend yield.
Disclaimer: I have a long position in TRP.
So that’s an extra amount paid out in one year? Always when dividends were paid and at what frequency.

Why not buy Rogers now? The debt is a short-term obligation from recent aquistions and the yield is good. It’s better managed than Shaw. I noticed you don’t hold JNJ or MCD. JNJ looks good right now, low PE etc.
It’s a matter of finding the cash… Over the next 2 weeks, I will probably hold Rogers in a non-registered account.
As for JNJ and MCD, I’d like to hold them but I the time when I had money in my RRSP account to buy US, I bought other opportunities but I like those too.

Just a question:
How many shares of a stock one should buy or own before saying i am long in MCD,TRP ,JNJ etc…
Hoping the markets will go bullish this coming week.
Have a nice day.
Being long is independent of the number of shares. It’s more about your holding horizon.
Thanks for the heads up. I’ve been looking for stocks to fill my TFSA with, but so many stocks are trading at their 52 week highs. I will take a closer look at Rogers.
If I go with Rogers, I’ll end up owning some shares with all of the ‘big three’!

thanks Passive for enriching my knowledge.
“Hoping the markets will go bullish this coming week” – I also hoped, but s$@% happens…lol
Probably after today’s big drop, it’s a good time to buy RCI. Also, BA looks nice with close to 52 weeks low price and 7+% yield.
P.S. Today, I bought JNJ on pullback, in addition to another aristocrat ABT
JNJ and ABT are good picks. ABT raised their dividends recently too.
Twice almost bought LIQ, had limit on 15.62 , stock reached this price, but my order wasn’t filled… will try to catch good price before next ex-div date 9if won’t buy RCI or BA) earlier
