<p>For you dividend folks, any thoughts on BCE? I had a look at the first few pages of their Q3 earnings and they have a divvy yield of about 5.3%. It looks attractive - typical Bell-type play - growing wireless and media, shrinking landline.</p>
<p>You have to buy it because BCE is the first 3 letters of your screen name. </p>
<p>What is your thinking? </p>
<p>Is the company going to grow?</p>
<p>Yes. Good wireless and media (TV) growth. Actually I’d be happy with just the dividends. I bought some in my wife’s account a few minutes ago. The entry here isn’t ideal. It’s in a triangle in the upper-third. There’s a decent chance that it goes down a buck to the lower support line. This is one of those where you hold onto it for at least a few years which is what I try to put in my wife’s account.</p>
<p>I’m pretty bullish on Canada. I have PBA, MFC and now BCE. Some of my MFC shares were free - I get about $120 a year in dividend checks. I’ve had them for quite some time when they bought John Hancock.</p>
<p>Ok…I am going to watch BCE. There are no extra tax forms to fill out because BCE is a Canadian company, are there?</p>

<p>I mailed ours in this week for Ameritrade. I mailed one in last month for Fidelity though I think that I need to mail in another set for a joint account that I missed.</p>
<p>Ok thanks.</p>
<p>I have TAL with a div of 6.4% but then I picked it up when it was in the low 20’s.</p>
<p>I’m looking at the div stocks on my watch list and BCE is included. Now, I have to figure out why I didn’t buy it.</p>
<p>Nice move on TAL today and for quite a while. What a monster of a chart!</p>
<p>I looked at the Div stocks I was monitoring and it turns out, at the time I was looking, BCE was at the bottom of my list when it comes to EPS and revenue growth.</p>
<p>I will keep an eye on BCEagle91… I mean BCE, too. Will that NR301 prevent tax withholding from my Canadian dividends? I own BMO, and every dividend payment has some foreign taxes withheld.</p>
<p>Normal withholdings is 15%. The form keeps it from going up to 25%. You can claim a tax credit for the withholdings and then pay 15% to the IRS. Canada doesn’t seem to withhold on non-taxable accounts (I checked this yesterday on a large dividend that I received).</p>
<p>Sold 1/25 FB 29 puts for .21</p>
<p>Anybody taking a chance with BA?</p>
<p>No BA for me. You?</p>
<p>I will do something in aig. I need to see where it is going to close tomorrow.</p>
<p>I’ve been shorting calls in tlt and that has been working. I am going to sell more probably.</p>
<p>BA is more risk than I can take. If the 787 is grounded for more than a week or two, I think the stock tanks. If it is back in the air soon, the stock goes up big. It’s backlog is substantial.</p>
<p>I see that intc sucked. What else is new?</p>
<p>I’m not sure of this piece of solid portfolio management advice has been posted or not:</p>

<p>It was looking like the 1/19 intc 21 puts that I sold quite some time ago were going to be ok - now I’m not so certain.</p>
<p>No. It wasn’t, BunsenBurner.</p>
<p>Now some people are going to want to kidnap the cat.</p>
<p>I think you are ok, doct.
I’m long intc. Tomorrow…It is so nice to start a trading day in the hole. :)</p>
