Rogers Dividend Increase

Sorry for the old news but I've been without internet access for the last few days and we headed out of town to Grande Prairie for the long weekend. Once I was able to log on I found out the Rogers communication's board of directors had increased their annual dividend by a solid 11% from $1.28 to $1.42 which is a very nice increase.

Recently RCI.B had dropped from a high of over $41 a share to almost its 52 week low and personally I was ready to sell some shares to buy some JNJ to put in my RRSP account, but I'm very glad I changed my mind. Seeing as RCI.B is close to it's 52 week low I reckon it would be a good time to nabb some shares as share prices tend to rise after dividend increases.

I promise to update the stock watch list when I get back to Edmonton tomorrow afternoon and I will be adding some new elements to the Loonie bin so stay tuned for new Flash animations and updated graphics.

Have a great weekend.

I might have to buy some as well. Price is hurting which means if I can find a few thousand, I'm going to pull the trigger.

Sounds like a sounds plan, Mark.

Dannyboy:
Rogers is a good addition to any portfolio. I hold every telecom company except Telus because they cut their dividend. Some might say I'm too heavy in utilities, but the dividend increases say otherwise.

Fortis and CN are now trading near their 52 week High and I don't know about you, but I don't like paying full price for anything ...
