Using BETA
Depending on how much volatility you are willing to handle, you can get a good idea of what a stock’s volatility is by looking at a stock’s Beta. I get the Beta for the stocks I cover from TD WebBroker, but you can get it easily from Globe and Mail investing site. Take Fortis Inc’s Beta, in the above site do a quote lookup for FTS and you will get FTS Quote . Click on the Statistics tab and you will see 36 Month Beta, which on May 30 was 0.35.
For Fortis, Beta number is low. Most utilities are. A Beta greater than 1.0 suggests that the stock is more volatile than the broader market, and a beta less than 1.0 indicates a stock with lower volatility. A negative beta describes an investment that tends to increase in price when the general market price falls and vice versa.
However, the stock market has bull markets and bear markets. A stock might have a low Beta, but go down a lot in the bear market. With me, I know I have good stocks and generally do not worry about bear markets. That is because my good stocks will recover once the market does.

Foreign Companies Investments
I once invested outside Canada, in US markets and in ADRs from the US market. It was interesting, but I did find in the end, that as a small investor, investing outside Canada, did not enhance my investment portfolio. I made more money on my Canadian investments that non-Canadian investments. I am basically only into the Canadian market at the present time.
It also was a lot of work investing outside Canada. When I look at US companies, I have spreadsheets using Canadian and US currencies. When I invested in ADRs (American Depositary Receipts), I have spreadsheets using 3 currencies. For example, my spreadsheet on Barclay’s Bank uses three currencies, Canadian, US and British. I also must know the change rate between these currencies. This is getting complicated.
The other thing I noticed was the amount and quality of information in their annual reports. From my perspective, Canadian financial information covers most of what I want. With Barclay’s Bank, the financial information is better than it used to be, but it can be limited. There are different rules for different countries.
For example, this year had a hard time finding full Cash Flow information. I did eventually find what I wanted in other documents for Barclays, but it was not obvious where to look. With US companies, I find that they give far too much information. What people do not always understand is that more information is not necessarily better information, it can sometime just be more. That means that you must spend time looking for the information you want.

Investing and Volatility
If you want no volatility in your investments, that is you want your investments to increase only steadily, then you should invest in GICs or Savings Accounts. Both trust companies and Credit Unions give higher interest rates than banks. You may lose spending power to inflation, but that is the cost of this sort of investing.
If you are interested in investing with some volatility so you keep and increase your spending power, you are better off using the stock market. I prefer individual stocks, but other prefer ETF (Exchange Trading Funds) or Mutual Funds. ETFs or Mutual funds can follow an index or give you basket of certain types of stocks, like only the aristocrats. That is not a bad choice, but I prefer to buy a part of a company.
When investing, you need to ignore the volatility and trust that you have invested in good stocks. I have been thought a lot of bear markets. In bear markets, always some of my stocks do badly and some cut or suspend their dividends. However, other companies keep their dividends flat and some even increase their dividends. In all the years I have invested, my overall dividends have gone up.
Yes, you will make some mistakes. Also, sometimes a once good company will take a bad turn. When that happens to me, I take a serious look at the company. I have given up on some companies because I do not see any recovery anytime soon. Other companies, I have held on to because I think problems are temporary and mostly this has worked out well for me.
You make the best decision that you can. Sometimes you will make mistakes. The thing is to learn from your mistakes. So, you have a basket of stocks and one turns out to be a dud. So, what. Do not forget you only can lose your invested money on a stock. The sky is the limit on what you can gain on any stock.

Something to Buy May 2023
There is always something to buy in the stock market. On Tuesday, I put out a list of the stocks that I covered and showed what stock might be a good deal based on dividend yield. Now I am trying to categorize what sorts of stocks may be a good deal based on dividend yield. The dividend yield test in this note is a quick way of finding possible stock buys. See my Spreadsheet .
The advantages to using dividend yield to judge how cheap or expensive a stock is, is that you are not using estimates or old data (like last reported quarter's data). You are using today's stock price and today's dividend yield. However, this is just a place to start. It is a good idea to check the stock price with other tests, especially the P/S Ratio test. For other testing, like P/E Ratios, P/S Ratios, P/CF Ratios, P/BV Ratios and Price/Graham Price Ratios, you use estimates or data from the last reported financial quarter.
If a stock is showing as a buy using the dividend yield test, I usually like to verify it is a buy by doing a P/S Ratio test. Here you compare the current P/S Ratio to the 10 year median P/S Ratio. If the current P/S Ratio is lower than the 10 year median, then the stock is a buy. I note that Morningstar gives a current P/S Ratio. The 10 year median ratio is shown in my review of a stock. The 10 year median ratio in a review is good for one year from the date of review.
This historical dividend yield test does not work well for old Income Trust companies. These companies had quite high Dividend Yields which will probably never be seen again. So, I started a column called VT (for Valid Test) and this applies to checking stock price using dividend yield. If it is not a valid test, I use N to show this. For these stocks, you might be better comparing the current dividend yield to the 10 year median dividend yield.
However, no system is perfect. But if you are interested in buying a stock a list of stocks cheap or reasonable using dividend yield data might be a good place to start.
Categorizing stocks is not as simple as it might seem. Every site you go to has categorized stocks a bit differently. I try to keep this as simple as possible. See Something to Buy May 2023 Spreadsheet above to see what stocks are showing whether a stock is relatively cheap based on historical high dividend yields (P/Hi), historical median dividend yields (P/Med), 10 year high dividend yields (P/10Hi), or 10 year median dividend yields (P/10Yr). As in other spreadsheets, you can highlight a line or several lines for better viewing.

This blog is meant for educational purposes only and is not to provide investment advice. Before making any investment decision, you should always do your own research or consult an investment professional. I do research for my own edification and I am willing to share. I write what I think and I may or may not be correct.
See my site for an index to these blog entries and for stocks followed. I have three blogs. The first talks only about specific stocks and is called Investment Talk . The second one contains information on mostly investing and is called Investing Economics Mostly. My last blog is for my book reviews and it is called Non-Fiction Mostly. Follow me on Twitter. I am on Instagram. Or you can just Google #walktoronto spbrunner8166 to see my pictures.
The advantages to using dividend yield to judge how cheap or expensive a stock is, is that you are not using estimates or old data (like last reported quarter's data). You are using today's stock price and today's dividend yield. However, this is just a place to start. It is a good idea to check the stock price with other tests, especially the P/S Ratio test. For other testing, like P/E Ratios, P/S Ratios, P/CF Ratios, P/BV Ratios and Price/Graham Price Ratios, you use estimates or data from the last reported financial quarter.
If a stock is showing as a buy using the dividend yield test, I usually like to verify it is a buy by doing a P/S Ratio test. Here you compare the current P/S Ratio to the 10 year median P/S Ratio. If the current P/S Ratio is lower than the 10 year median, then the stock is a buy. I note that Morningstar gives a current P/S Ratio. The 10 year median ratio is shown in my review of a stock. The 10 year median ratio in a review is good for one year from the date of review.
This historical dividend yield test does not work well for old Income Trust companies. These companies had quite high Dividend Yields which will probably never be seen again. So, I started a column called VT (for Valid Test) and this applies to checking stock price using dividend yield. If it is not a valid test, I use N to show this. For these stocks, you might be better comparing the current dividend yield to the 10 year median dividend yield.
However, no system is perfect. But if you are interested in buying a stock a list of stocks cheap or reasonable using dividend yield data might be a good place to start.
Categorizing stocks is not as simple as it might seem. Every site you go to has categorized stocks a bit differently. I try to keep this as simple as possible. See Something to Buy May 2023 Spreadsheet above to see what stocks are showing whether a stock is relatively cheap based on historical high dividend yields (P/Hi), historical median dividend yields (P/Med), 10 year high dividend yields (P/10Hi), or 10 year median dividend yields (P/10Yr). As in other spreadsheets, you can highlight a line or several lines for better viewing.

Dividend Stocks May 2023
Dividend Stocks May 2023
First, I want to point out that not all the stocks I follow are great investments. I follow a diverse selection of stocks. There are some that I would never invest in personally.
I follow several resource stocks even though I personally have little invested in this area. I follow what I find interesting and with resource stocks, I think it is important for Canadians to know what is happening in the resource area. On the other hand, I do follow of good number of great dividend growth stocks. You might want to get the free weekly newsletter from Canadian Stock Channel which says what might be the best Canadian Dividend Stocks to buy at the present time.
The theory is that you should use the dividend yield to see if a dividend stock is selling at a stock price that is relatively cheap. A stock price is considered cheap if it is selling at a dividend yield higher than the historical high yield or higher than the historical average yield or historical median yield. Some use the 10 year average or median yield rather than the historical ones. I use median yields, always. See my spreadsheet at dividend growth stocks that I just updated for May 2023. On this list,
Barclays PLC ADR (LSE-BARC, NYSE-BCS) (I am late with this as it was actually paid in April.)
Cenovus Energy Inc (TSX-CVE, NYSE-CVE)
GFL Environmental Inc (TSX-GF, NYSE -GFL)
Johnson and Johnson (NYSE-JNJ)
Maple Leaf Foods Inc (TSX-MFI, OTC-MLFNF)
Methanex Corp (TSX-MX, NASDAQ-MEOH)
Ovintiv Inc (TSX-OVV, OTC-OVV)
Of the stocks I follow, 0 stock has cut their dividends.
Of the stocks I follow, 0 stocks have suspended or terminated their dividend.
Canadian Pacific Railway (TSX-CP, NYSE-CP) is now Canadian Pacific Kansas City Ltd. See news item on City News.
Shaw Communications Inc (TSX-SJR.B, NYSE-SJR) has been bought by Rogers. See news item here.
Of the stocks I follow, the following declined the most in their stock price. Of the stocks I follow, 68.18% had declining stock prices.
Of the stock that I follow, these stocks gained the most in their stock price. Of the stock I follow, 31.82% had increasing stock price. And, 0.65% of the stock retained the same stock price as last month.
Most of my stocks started out as Dividend Payers. Currently 10 stocks are not paying any dividends and this would be some 6.54% of the stocks that I follow. Three of these stocks never had dividends, so 4.58% of the stocks I follow have suspended their dividends. The three stocks that never paid dividends are Ballard Power Systems Inc. (TSX-BLD, NASDAQ-BLDP), Blackberry Ltd. (TSX-BB, NASDAQ-BBRY) and Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-TM, OTC-PNTZF).
I am showing whether a stock is relatively cheap based on historical high dividend yields (P/Hi), historical average dividend yields (P/Ave), historical median dividend yields (P/Med) or on 10 year median dividend yields (P/10Y). See these fields on the right side of the file. You can highlight a particular stock using your cursor to highlight the appropriate line.
There are always some stocks to buy because they are priced reasonably. There are always stocks to currently avoid because they are overpriced. Looking at dividend growth stocks that are selling at stock prices that give them a dividend yield above the historical median dividend yield are probably the best bet.
The stocks that are selling at prices that give them a dividend yield above the historical high yield could be good stocks to buy. However, these stocks may be selling so cheap because of current troubles, especially financial troubles and should be treated with caution. Do not forget that I have all the stocks I follow on this spreadsheet and some are much better investments than others.
You should always investigate a stock before you buy. Sometimes different stocks in certain sectors are just out of favour or the stock market is just in one of its declines. However, a stock may be relatively cheap because it has problems. That is why you should always investigate a stock before buying.
Looking at stock this way is equivalent to a stock filter. A main problem I know of is for the old income trusts. These companies have generally lowered their dividend yields forever and they will probably never get back to the old dividend yield highs they made as an income trust company. For these stocks, you might be better comparing the current dividend yield to the 5 year median dividend yield. I also started a column called VT (for Valid Test) and this applies to checking stock price using dividend yield. If it is not a valid test, I use N to show this.
Also, on some stocks I have a lot more information years in my spreadsheets than for other stocks. So, finding a stock on the list as "cheap" is only the first step in finding a stock to buy. This is the same with any other sort of stock filters that you can use.
The last thing to remember is that I have entering figures into a spreadsheet. I could put them in incorrectly, I can transpose figures and I can misread figures. This is another great reason why you should check a stock out before investing. As this is just a filter, it works better on some stocks than on others.
See my entry on my methodology in establishing the historical dividend yield highs and lows for the stocks that I cover. I have an entry on my introduction to Dividend Growth. You might want to look at my original entry on Dividend Growth Stocks. I have also written about why I like Dividend Growth companies.
On my other blog I wrote yesterday about SNC-Lavalin Group Inc (TSX-SNC, OTC-SNCAF) ... learn more. Next, I will write about Fortis Inc (TSX-FTS, OTC-FRTSF) ... learn more on Wednesday, May 3, 2023 around 5 pm.

Looking at stock this way is equivalent to a stock filter. A main problem I know of is for the old income trusts. These companies have generally lowered their dividend yields forever and they will probably never get back to the old dividend yield highs they made as an income trust company. For these stocks, you might be better comparing the current dividend yield to the 5 year median dividend yield. I also started a column called VT (for Valid Test) and this applies to checking stock price using dividend yield. If it is not a valid test, I use N to show this.
Also, on some stocks I have a lot more information years in my spreadsheets than for other stocks. So, finding a stock on the list as "cheap" is only the first step in finding a stock to buy. This is the same with any other sort of stock filters that you can use.
The last thing to remember is that I have entering figures into a spreadsheet. I could put them in incorrectly, I can transpose figures and I can misread figures. This is another great reason why you should check a stock out before investing. As this is just a filter, it works better on some stocks than on others.
See my entry on my methodology in establishing the historical dividend yield highs and lows for the stocks that I cover. I have an entry on my introduction to Dividend Growth. You might want to look at my original entry on Dividend Growth Stocks. I have also written about why I like Dividend Growth companies.

Line of Credit
Carrying a credit card balance? This article talks how a line of credit would be a better option. See article on Globe and Mail
I have a line of credit. When I need to make a big purchase, I would put it on my credit card and then use my line of credit to pay off the amount on my credit card. I also use my Line of Credit to buy stocks from time to time. In this case, the interest charge is deductible when doing your taxes. A Line of credit is a lot cheaper to use than a credit card.

Something to Buy April 2023
There is always something to buy in the stock market. On Tuesday, I put out a list of the stocks that I covered and showed what stock might be a good deal based on dividend yield. Now I am trying to categorize what sorts of stocks may be a good deal based on dividend yield. The dividend yield test in this note is a quick way of finding possible stock buys. See my Spreadsheet .
The advantages to using dividend yield to judge how cheap or expensive a stock is, is that you are not using estimates or old data (like last reported quarter's data). You are using today's stock price and today's dividend yield. However, this is just a place to start. It is a good idea to check the stock price with other tests, especially the P/S Ratio test. For other testing, like P/E Ratios, P/S Ratios, P/CF Ratios, P/BV Ratios and Price/Graham Price Ratios, you use estimates or data from the last reported financial quarter.
If a stock is showing as a buy using the dividend yield test, I usually like to verify it is a buy by doing a P/S Ratio test. Here you compare the current P/S Ratio to the 10 year median P/S Ratio. If the current P/S Ratio is lower than the 10 year median, then the stock is a buy. I note that Morningstar gives a current P/S Ratio. The 10 year median ratio is shown in my review of a stock. The 10 year median ratio in a review is good for one year from the date of review.
This historical dividend yield test does not work well for old Income Trust companies. These companies had quite high Dividend Yields which will probably never be seen again. So, I started a column called VT (for Valid Test) and this applies to checking stock price using dividend yield. If it is not a valid test, I use N to show this. For these stocks, you might be better comparing the current dividend yield to the 10 year median dividend yield.
However, no system is perfect. But if you are interested in buying a stock a list of stocks cheap or reasonable using dividend yield data might be a good place to start.
Categorizing stocks is not as simple as it might seem. Every site you go to has categorized stocks a bit differently. I try to keep this as simple as possible. See Something to Buy April 2023 Spreadsheet above to see what stocks are showing whether a stock is relatively cheap based on historical high dividend yields (P/Hi), historical median dividend yields (P/Med), 10 year high dividend yields (P/10Hi), or 10 year median dividend yields (P/10Yr). As in other spreadsheets, you can highlight a line or several lines for better viewing.
In the following notes I am only going to list stocks showing as cheap using the historical high dividend yields (P/Hi) and historical median dividend yields (P/Med).
I follow 20 stocks in the Consumer Discretionary category. Three of these stocks (15%) are showing as cheap by the historically high dividend yield. They are Canadian Tire Corp (TSX-CTC.A, OTC-CDNAF), Leon's Furniture (TSX-LNF, OTC-LEFUF), and Magna International Inc. (TSX-MG, NYSE-MGA). Leon's Furniture (TSX-LNF, OTC-LEFUF),and Magna International Inc. (TSX-MG, NYSE-MGA) have been added to this list.

You are using today's stock price and today's dividend yield. However, this is just a place to start. It is a good idea to check the stock price with other tests, especially the P/S Ratio test. For other testing, like P/E Ratios, P/S Ratios, P/CF Ratios, P/BV Ratios and Price/Graham Price Ratios, you use estimates or data from the last reported financial quarter.
If a stock is showing as a buy using the dividend yield test, I usually like to verify it is a buy by doing a P/S Ratio test. Here you compare the current P/S Ratio to the 10 year median P/S Ratio. If the current P/S Ratio is lower than the 10 year median, then the stock is a buy. I note that Morningstar gives a current P/S Ratio. The 10 year median ratio is shown in my review of a stock. The 10 year median ratio in a review is good for one year from the date of review.
This historical dividend yield test does not work well for old Income Trust companies. These companies had quite high Dividend Yields which will probably never be seen again. So, I started a column called VT (for Valid Test) and this applies to checking stock price using dividend yield. If it is not a valid test, I use N to show this. For these stocks, you might be better comparing the current dividend yield to the 10 year median dividend yield.
However, no system is perfect. But if you are interested in buying a stock a list of stocks cheap or reasonable using dividend yield data might be a good place to start.
Categorizing stocks is not as simple as it might seem. Every site you go to has categorized stocks a bit differently. I try to keep this as simple as possible. See Something to Buy April 2023 Spreadsheet above to see what stocks are showing whether a stock is relatively cheap based on historical high dividend yields (P/Hi), historical median dividend yields (P/Med), 10 year high dividend yields (P/10Hi), or 10 year median dividend yields (P/10Yr). As in other spreadsheets, you can highlight a line or several lines for better viewing.

Dividend Stocks April 2023
First, I want to point out that not all the stocks I follow are great investments. I follow a diverse selection of stocks. There are some that I would never invest in personally.
I follow several resource stocks even though I personally have little invested in this area. I follow what I find interesting and with resource stocks, I think it is important for Canadians to know what is happening in the resource area. On the other hand, I do follow of good number of great dividend growth stocks. You might want to get the free weekly newsletter from Canadian Stock Channel which says what might be the best Canadian Dividend Stocks to buy at the present time.
The theory is that you should use the dividend yield to see if a dividend stock is selling at a stock price that is relatively cheap. A stock price is considered cheap if it is selling at a dividend yield higher than the historical high yield or higher than the historical average yield or historical median yield. Some use the 10 year average or median yield rather than the historical ones. I use median yields, always. See my spreadsheet at dividend growth stocks that I just updated for April 2023. Note: I am no longer looking at Historical average dividend yields.
On this list,
AGF Management Ltd (TSX-AGF.B, OTC-AGFMF)
Badger Infrastructure Solutions Ltd (TSX-BDGI, OTC-BADFF)
Bird Construction Inc (TSX -BDT, OTC-BIRDF)
BRP Inc (TSX-DOO, NASDAQ-DOOO)
Canadian Natural Resources (TSX-CNQ, NYSE-CNQ)
Choice Properties REIT (TSX-CHP.UN, OTC-PPRQF)
Dollarama Inc (TSX-DOL, OTC-DLMAF)
Enghouse Systems Limited (TSX-ENGH, OTC-EGHSF)
Hammond Power Solutions Inc (TSX-HPS.A, OTC-HMDPF)
Intact Financial Corp (TSX-IFC, OTC-IFCZF)
Linamar Corporation (TSX-LNR, OTC-LIMAF)
Melcor Developments Inc (TSX-MRD, OTC-MODVF)
Parkland Fuel Corp (TSX-PKI, OTC-PKIUF)
Pizza Pizza Royalty Corp (TSX-PZA, OTC-PZRIF)
Premium Brands Holdings Corp (TSX-PBH, OTC-PRBZF)
Power Corp (TSX-POW, OTC-PWCDF)
Stella-Jones (TSX-SJ , OTC-STLJF)
Wajax Corp (TSX-WJX, OTC-WJXFF)
Of the stocks I follow, 1 stock has cut their dividends.
Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp (TSX-AQN, NYSE-AQN)
Of the stocks I follow, 0 stocks have suspended or terminated their dividend.
Waterloo Brewing Ltd (TSX-WBR, OTC-BIBLF) has been acquired by Carlsberg Canada as of March 7, 2023. See the Press Release. This is the firth stock I follow to be schedule to be or acquired this year.
Of the stocks I follow, the following declined the most in their stock price. Of the stocks I follow, 68.18% had declining stock prices.
Of the stock that I follow, these stocks gained the most in their stock price. Of the stock I follow, 31.82% had increasing stock price. And, 0.00% of the stock retained the same stock price as last month.
Most of my stocks started out as Dividend Payers. Currently 10 stocks are not paying any dividends and this would be some 6.47% of the stocks that I follow. Three of these stocks never had dividends, so 4.55% of the stocks I follow have suspended their dividends. The three stocks that never paid dividends are Ballard Power Systems Inc. (TSX-BLD, NASDAQ-BLDP), Blackberry Ltd. (TSX-BB, NASDAQ-BBRY) and Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-TM, OTC-PNTZF).
I am showing whether a stock is relatively cheap based on historical high dividend yields (P/Hi), historical average dividend yields (P/Ave), historical median dividend yields (P/Med) or on 10 year median dividend yields (P/10Y). See these fields on the right side of the file. You can highlight a particular stock using your cursor to highlight the appropriate line.
There are always some stocks to buy because they are priced reasonably. There are always stocks to currently avoid because they are overpriced. Looking at dividend growth stocks that are selling at stock prices that give them a dividend yield above the historical median dividend yield are probably the best bet.
The stocks that are selling at prices that give them a dividend yield above the historical high yield could be good stocks to buy. However, these stocks may be selling so cheap because of current troubles, especially financial troubles and should be treated with caution. Do not forget that I have all the stocks I follow on this spreadsheet and some are much better investments than others.
You should always investigate a stock before you buy. Sometimes different stocks in certain sectors are just out of favour or the stock market is just in one of its declines. However, a stock may be relatively cheap because it has problems. That is why you should always investigate a stock before buying.
Looking at stock this way is equivalent to a stock filter. A main problem I know of is for the old income trusts. These companies have generally lowered their dividend yields forever and they will probably never get back to the old dividend yield highs they made as an income trust company. For these stocks, you might be better comparing the current dividend yield to the 5 year median dividend yield. I also started a column called VT (for Valid Test) and this applies to checking stock price using dividend yield. If it is not a valid test, I use N to show this.
Also, on some stocks I have a lot more information years in my spreadsheets than for other stocks. So, finding a stock on the list as "cheap" is only the first step in finding a stock to buy. This is the same with any other sort of stock filters that you can use.
The last thing to remember is that I have entering figures into a spreadsheet. I could put them in incorrectly, I can transpose figures and I can misread figures. This is another great reason why you should check a stock out before investing. As this is just a filter, it works better on some stocks than on others.
See my entry on my methodology in establishing the historical dividend yield highs and lows for the stocks that I cover. I have an entry on my introduction to Dividend Growth. You might want to look at my original entry on Dividend Growth Stocks. I have also written about why I like Dividend Growth companies.
On my other blog I wrote yesterday about BCE Inc (TSX-BCE, NYSE-BCE) ... learn more. Next, I will write about Melcor Developments Inc (TSX-MRD, OTC-MODVF) ... learn more on Wednesday, April 5, 2023 around 5 pm.
