How low do you think this will go?
That dividend is looking really juicy.
I already have a fair bit but could add more.

BCE
- Thread starter Carvher
- Start date
I get the feeling that the market will fall even more this coming weekend. Especially when US government might shut down on Saturday?
It is going to be a bloody autumn.
Yup, absolutely everything you said is true! BCE @ 7.2% dividend or BNS @6.68% with substantially less risk of a cut...
BCE is down only 20% (TSX 12%) though...sigh. Just don't know.
Bought BNS.

everything is down except my H and SU and FTS.(edit just check and everything is down except SU) 
Im tempted with BCE as I have a position with them, but I am hesitant that dividend payout is more then they can handle since their payout ratio is over %150. got burned with AQN and way back when corus. learnt a lesson on unsustainable payouts.
Im also considering CPX although their payout(%130) is higher than I would like it to be but Im a fan of utilities.
TD or BNS probably in the next quarter. perhaps ADN if it drops to a price mark that works for me.

I stay away from bank. BCE is tempting. Watching it closely.
Telcos, pipelines, banks etc are ALL tanking. Will continue to tank until the Fed/BoC declare a pause, then sometime thereafter reverse the interest rate trend.
Keep your powder dry. A time will come to start loading up on bluechips very very cheap.

You mean the stock market as a whole will continue to tank until rates pause right? Lol
Telcos, pipelines, banks are pretty much the whole TSX stock market by capitalization....
Fine fine...but to be fair you said Fed/BoC and I took that as North America, which would mean Tech is taking the biggest hit of all!!! LOLTelcos, pipelines, banks are pretty much the whole TSX stock market by capitalization....
Not I, niniveh but given BoC generally has to follow the US Fed, fair enough. IIRC tech (in the US & hence Canada) has been taking a hit for some time.
I have a decent holding of BCE. Just collect the 7% dividend while waiting for the market to recover. I think they have decent enough FCF to cover their dividends
Pure opinion b
Do you buy government bonds directly or through ETFS/funds?
Pure opinion but I think in 4 years BCE, and others, will have recovered quite nicely.

Sentiment towards telecom are very negative. Long term hold.
everything is dropping. picked up bce at 51.
BCE is a regulated utility guaranteed a rate of return. So, is the regulated return inadequate?
