jhpaul, you've certainly expanded your portfolio. Hopefully you've gotten some of them at a good value. At your age, you've got a good start. What are your plans for the near term -- are you going to add to your current positions or are you still looking to expand your holdings?
I notice healthcare is conspicuously absent. Scanning the Canadian Dividend All-Star list, I didn't see any healthcare companies listed so you may be forced into a US or European company. Curious as to why you traded in and out of ABBV?
Don't blame you for looking for Canadian issues so you don't have forex fluctuations. I have some Canadian stocks in our IRAs and the dividends fluctuate also. I am comfortable in the long term it will average out as long as I don't have to count on every penny once I reach the withdrawal phase.
Hopefully some of the other "northern neighbors" will weigh in soon.
