Could someone who knows BNS well add some color to some conflicting reports I'm seeing regarding the dividend?
In March it looks like they raised their quarterly dividend from $0.66 to $0.68. This is what shows up on SA and also in the Dividend Growth Forum spreadsheet
However when I look at my normal standby for dividend history I get a completely different picture, with the most recent quarterly dividend listed at $0.5432 ... the dividend history is also pretty spotty, jumping around the mid-high $0.5X range for 2014
Is the nasdaq link taking into account FX or something, going from CAD -> US?
Is the current yield for BNS 0.68*4/55.32 = 4.9% or is it 0.5432*4/55.32 = 3.9%?
