November 2014 Dividend Income Update
– myownadvisor.ca
It’s good to reflect…more on that in a moment.
For those of you new to these posts on my site, every month I discuss my approach to investing using Canadian dividend paying stocks and low-cost Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), and how reinvesting the dividends and distributions paid from these holdings are helping us reach financial independence. You can check out my previous dividend income update here.
Now the reflection bit. Back in January 2014 I wrote this on my site:
Thanks to Canadian companies that pay regular dividends and tend to increase them every year we earned $7,645 this calendar year (2013) from our investments in tax-efficient and tax-free accounts. Compare that to where we started 2013 it was a significant step forward for us and pretty much bang on with my prediction. If we max out our TFSAs in 2014 like I think we can and reinvest most dividends paid throughout 2014, I could foresee us earning close to $9,000 in dividend income 12 months from now.
Those 12 months are almost up and my prediction largely come true…

Slumping oil prices threaten to reduce revenues at Canada’s top banks
– canadianbusiness.com
TORONTO – Oil prices that reached a five-year low on Friday are starting to take a bite out of profits at TD Bank (TSX:TD) and raising concerns for the rest of the country’s top lenders.
Canada’s biggest banks earn up to 20 per cent of their revenues through providing investment and corporate banking services, with oil and gas companies an important part of that client base.
But with oil prices slipping — they have tumbled roughly 35 per cent to under $70 a barrel from their mid-summer highs due to a strong U.S. dollar, low demand and a glut of global supply — TD Bank says it will have to look beyond the oilpatch to make up its investment banking revenue.
“With the current activity going on in oil pricing, it certainly is impacting activity levels in the business,” Bob Dorrance, the head of TD’s wholesale banking division, told investors during a conference call earlier this week after the bank reported its fourth quarter results.
