Update Notes

When I was updating my stock list for January 2018 I noticed a couple outstanding items on Automodular and Canadian Tire which I listed below. I also thought I would publish my chart on increases and decreases in dividends. For 2018 we had 7 stocks increasing their next dividend and no stocks decreasing their dividends. This is a good start for the year.

On stock that I have and follow is Automodular Corp (TSX-AM.H, OTC-AMZKF). I bought this as another entity and but not sell because it is not worth much and I wondered what would happen to it. AMD had now found something to do. They are HLS Therapeutics Inc. and will be listed on the TSX Venture Exchange. However the shares received are described as fully paid and non-assessable? Interesting to see how this works out.

Canadian Tire Corp (TSX-CTC.A, OTC-CDNAF) after a third quarterly profit of $2.59 per share raised their dividends by 38.5%. This is discussed Ryan Goldsman on Motley Fool. I have own this stock since 2009 and have made a total return of 14.13% per year on it.

Below is a chart showing the number of increases and decreases in dividends for the stocks that I follow.
