It was a good week in Ron's Dividend Land. Two of our 29 positions provided dividend increases, UGI (a bit over 4%) and TU, another smaller raise that adds up to almost 7.1% year over year (in Canadian currency). Hurray for us!!
I also bought some shares - AMGN and GLW - giving us once again a record 12 month forward dividend estimate yet again. Hurray again!!
And to top it off, the accounts were up .5% today - thank you energy, utilities and telecommunications three of our larger sectors.
So, I am not thrilled with inflation or the condition of the economy, which I would call unsettled, or the markets, but overall I cannot complain too much.
Hope you folks had a tolerable week and a good weekend coming up.
Chit Chat: We went to a new to us near by restaurant. I got a nice small filet mignon and Kathy got a chicken breast with a mild xcatic chili sauce. Our friends had one of the chicken breasts and the other had a big salad. With drinks and tip it worked out to $30 USD per person. I thought it was kinda pricey, but not too bad and it was a very nice atmosphere and it is run by a small restaurant group that has consistency as one of its hallmarks. Good stuff.
