Update Notes

When I review stock price and dividends each month, I also take the opportunity to look at a bit closer at some of the stocks I cover. These some of the stocks I looked at more closely.

Automodular Corp.

My stock Automodular Corp. (TSX-AM.H, OTC-AMZKF) has again buying up stocks on the open market. See the Press Release. This time they have not said at what price.

Barclays PLC

Barclays PLC (LSE-BARC, NYSE-BCS) has dropped in price a lot at almost 25%. This has to be expected because of Brexit. There is a message about this on Barclays site. They say that they will continue to deliver the Barclays of the future.

HNZ Group Inc.

HNZ Group Inc. (TSX-HNZ, OTC-CDHPF) announced that it is taking steps to improve the liquidity for its variable voting shares by aggregating the trading of its common and variable voting shares under a single ticker on the Toronto Stock Exchange symbol of HNZ.A. This replaces symbols of HNZ.A and HNZ.B.

Progressive Waste Solutions

The stock of Progressive Waste Solutions (NYSE-BIN) has amalgamated with Waste Connections. Because the old shareholders of Progressive Waste Solutions only get .4815 of a share of the new company, their dividend actually fall from 1.09% dividend yield of last month to a 0.54% dividend yield in this month. See the news release about this merger. As per a news release the change is expected to occur on June 1, 2016.

I am glad I sold by Progressive Waste Solutions stock. I would have ended up with an old lot of stocks and, more importantly, a stock with a dividend below 1%.

On my other blog I wrote yesterday about Inter Pipeline Ltd. (TSX-IPL, OTC-IPPLF)... learn more. Tomorrow, I will write about TMX Group Ltd (TSX-X, OTC-TMXXF)... learn more on Wednesday, July 13, 2016 before 9 am. (I am going out boating for the day.)
