The Ultimate DRIP-folio

Brad911 · 06-05-2009, 07:25 AM

I posted an article on my site discussing this concept, but I wanted to get input from members here as well.

Basically The Ultimate DRIP-folio is a concept I came up with a short while ago for the potential of constructing/developing a diversified income portfolio that concentrates on re-investing dividends through a DRIP or SPP that a number of investors can share resources on. What I'd like to know are members' top choices (5-10) for DRIP eligible stocks that they would include in a portfolio or have in a portfolio already.

Here are my top choices in no particular order:
ALA.UN
BNS
CWT.UN
COS.UN
ENB
FTS
IPL.UN
MFC
REI.UN
SJR.B
T
TD
TRI
TRP

Do any of these stocks offer a discount if you DRIP them? The stocks I like (and own) are:
BNS, CWT.UN, COS.UN, ENB, FTS, MFC, REI.UN, TD, TRP.

I know that TD just announced a discount (I believe 2%) but this is partly why I wanted to do this exercise. If we could all pool resources together we might find out about some nice discounts on companies we already own and get a discount of up to 3% or more for some stocks we hold.

Another high yielding stock that is popular for its drip is ax.un

RioCan offers a discount. I also believe that YLO.UN discounts DRIP'pers'

I think Royal and BMO offer a DRIP discount.

Here is a link for some of the DRIP discounts:

Also...Brad911...are your DRIPs set up in a registered account or non? As some of the selections may be better suited for registered, than non.

I'm not suggesting or recommending it, but I do know CSH.UN offers a 3% drip discount, although I think it's a 1000 share minimum before they'll do the drip.

It will be interesting to compare your picks against cbz.to or xdv.to.

Here are my picks: BCE, FTS, IPL.UN, TD, TRP

Are we distinguishing real/full/traditional DRIPs from synthetic DRIPs offered through the banks?

I go with the "full" DRIPs and don't like any that have high minimum OCP amounts (high for me right now is $500). My current faves are probably:

T
TA
TRP (discount)
ENB (discount)
BA.UN
REI.UN
BNS
