Earlier this week I provided some buy and hold and buy more of advice: ETFs and stocks to own for your portfolio. Of the stocks I listed, Telus increased their dividends this week. So did Sun Life, even though it wasn’t on my list. I also had some fun with some email requests for content on my site.
