TD Bank went ex-dividend today, currently down $3.48, to $83.38. that however is still up more than 12% from its 12 month low in Oct 2023.

Telus and BCE, as well as CU and CPX are all trading near their lows. Higher interest rates have put pressure on their share prices. All pay good to great dividends. If rates come back down, share prices should reflect that.

AQN is trading at severely discounted rates due to bad management and poor board performance. CEO has been fired. Board shakeup likely coming, still pays a good dividend that they can support. I have been keeping an eye on this one, have not added it yet.

Those still holding ZIM, may want to keep and eye on it, has gained back to $14, though it is off some today.

ARM is still beating the IPO trend by a good margin, trading at $71.73.

Royal Bank is at $134, meaning it has gained over 20%, plus dividends, since being $108 Oct 2023.

RY and TD are prime illustrations of what happens if you are out of a stock, or stocks for even a short period when they draft up. All respect to those that can time these, personally I can't.
