Good idea. I wish I had the energy to figure a system like that out.

Great going on the oilsands.

I have some CP but it seems to be tanking right now. I haven't researched why as I've got other things going on - do you know why? I'm kicking myself for not selling in the summer. :curse:

I've been having a good time with Lululemon LLL ... I can not wait for Thursday when their 3rd quarter results are released. (well it better pan out as this was the first time I dipped heavily into my HELOC to accumulate shares. )

Good luck with your decision.

Yes, nice pop today but look at the trend over the last six months!

I'm usually a 'bad news = good news' (buy more!) type. But I have a lot of BMO so I'm feeling the heat a bit more than normal! But, sweet dividend. That's for sure.

Not sure, not sure.... I may just end up consulting an astrologer!

That's probably what his snowmobiles are doing now!

Awe, poor Steve... but see? There was bad karma attached to them... I can sense it.

I visited the LLL store at MetroTown a few times to look at the
volume of customers ,people are still buying. I am not sure ,whether
I will buy because I am so dividends dependent.

I heard CNR and CP are tanking and they will be cheaper next year
so I heard. Looking for an entry level.
The reasons they are tanking were due to higher fuel costs
and high costs of maintenance ,labour,materials and the high loonie.
Also rumours of buyout of CP that was floating around during the summer.
From the last Q they are making profits.
I am gradually unloading oilsands and uranium.

Good luck on Thursday

Dividend-dependent!? Given your strategy in buying and selling bank stocks, I'd say you're dividend co-dependent!

CN going even cheaper, eh? :curse: Oh well, it will eventually climb again! Yeah the high dollar is hitting a few stocks.

What do you want to know?

I want to ask about stock rotating?

As I don't follow what is going on. Also, sector rotation?
