Jittery dividend investors should keep calm and carry on as interest rates rise
– canadianbusiness.com
(Illustration by Iker Ayestaran)Investors are an obsessive bunch. They get preoccupied with all sorts of things—elections, central bank policies, the weather—but nothing has dominated investor thinking as much lately as bond rates and income stocks.

Those are the slightly paraphrased words of one of the “portly gentlemen” in Mr. Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. They asked Mr. Scrooge for a donation and got an earful in exchange. But, now that Christmas has passed, its spirit has no doubt inspired even the meanest of us to spare a few thoughts for the less fortunate.
When you’re thinking about giving to a good cause you should consult the MoneySense Charity 100, which grades some of the largest charities in the land.
But, as is my habit, I recently asked around for a few less formal recommendations at a couple of online investment forums.
The index-oriented crowd over at the Financial Wisdom Forum favoured giving to the Mennonite Central Committee and Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières…
