Yup ⬆

Scotiabank's stock (BNS) had been in the doldrums for quite some time. But I (and many others) held on, partially because we were Paid To (BNS Dividend
= ~6%).

And finally with BNS's stock recent turnaround (⬆ ~20%, and still climbing), we're all Smilin' Now.

It's probably a good idea to hold all the CDN banks in ETF's, and other things, like one ETF which converts all of the bank Divs and capital gains into Divs.
So everytime the banks come out with sneaky tricks, at least you are getting some back in bank Divs.
So they give you a shave in bonus percentage, to boost the Div, and of course pay for the CEO's divorce and yacht too.
It's just the way the system is, might as well play inside the system as it's designed.

Not a bad idea ⬆, but . . .

I already own stock in four of the five CDN Big Banks, so basically I'm running my own private CDN Banks ETF ... and the MER = 0.00%.

Ca-Ching ❗
