TSX 60 Ex Dividend Date + Best 2013 Dividend Stock Update +20.03%
At the beginning of each month, I make a recap of the dividend yield and ex dividend date of the TSX 60.

So far, my results are:
20 US Dividend Stocks: +20.03% (can you beat that?)
10 CDN Dividend Stocks: + 6.11%

Best 2013 Dividend Stocks Results
At the beginning of the year, I’ve made a list of Best dividend stocks for 2013 (click on the link to get my metrics and to see the list). Out of this exhaustive list, I’ve pulled out 30 stocks to be my “favorite” picks among those lists. Those are not stock recommendations and I strongly suggest you do your own analysis and read financial statements. This book is simply a compilation of my own stock analysis for 30 stocks being either held in my portfolio or being on my watch list.
I’ve broken down the result per market:
Best 2013 US Dividend Stocks Results
| Company | Ticker | YTD | Current Div Yield |
|---|---|---|---|
| Abbott Laboratories | ABT | 12.73% | 1.52% |
| Autoliv Inc | ALV | 13.40% | 2.62% |
| CA Inc | CA | 22.69% | 3.71% |
| Campbell Soup Co | CPB | 33.02% | 2.50% |
| Chesapeake Utilities Corp | CPK | 17.53% | 2.74% |
| Chevron Corp | CVX | 12.83% | 3.28% |
| Darden Restaurants Inc | DRI | 14.56% | 3.87% |
| General Mills Inc | GIS | 24.73% | 3.01% |
| Heinz | HNZ | 25.55% | 2.84% |
| Genuine Parts Co | GPC | 20.05% | 2.82% |
| Intel Corp | INTC | 16.14% | 3.76% |
| Johnson & Johnson | JNJ | 21.75% | 3.10% |
| Kellogg Co | K | 16.44% | 2.71% |
| Kimberly-Clark Corp | KMB | 22.21% | 3.14% |
| Mattel Inc | MAT | 24.69% | 3.15% |
| McDonald’s Corp | MCD | 15.78% | 3.02% |
| Microsoft Corp | MSFT | 23.92% | 2.78% |
| Procter & Gamble Co/The | PG | 13.08% | 3.13% |
| Safeway Inc | SWY | 24.48% | 3.11% |
| Seagate Technology PLC | STX | 20.64% | 4.14% |
| Walgreen Co | WAG | 33.77% | 2.22% |
| Western Union Co/The | WU | 8.82% | 3.38% |
| Wisconsin Energy Corp | WEC | 21.94% | 3.03% |
| Average | 20.03% | 3.03% | |
| VIG | 12.14% | 2.13% | |
| Added Value | 7.89% | 0.90% |
In the middle of February, I wrote an article about 35 dividend stocks on fire. Those were the most profitable stocks after 5 weeks of trading in 2013. Out of the top 35, I had 5 stocks from my own selection:
Seagate Technology (STX)
CA inc. (CA)
Safeway (SWY)
Mattel (MAT)
Heinz (HNZ)
Now, after 4 months, I have 13 stocks showing stock growth over 20% without counting dividend. While my benchmark continued its progression, my portfolio simply boomed.
The average portfolio is showing an amazing return of 20.03% that is 12.14% over my benchmark (VIG with 12.14%). Oh! Did I mention that my portfolio also produce 0.90% more in dividend yield than VIG? 
.
What’s interesting is that I now have 9 stocks out of 20 with a dividend yield under 3%. When I first built this portfolio during the Holidays, I only had Abbott showing lower than 3%. This means that the current dividend yield “suffered” from the stock appreciation. However, the dividend yield based on the original cost of purchase is still way above 3%.
If you want to learn more about those companies, you should buy my book for only $2.99:
Best 2013 Canadian Dividend Stocks Results
| Company | Ticker | YTD | Current Div Yield | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Andrew Peller Ltd | ADW/A | 19.90% | 2.97% | |
| Royal Bank of Canada | RY | 1.50% | 4.15% | |
| National Bank of Canada | NA | -1.40% | 4.36% | |
| Calian Technologies Ltd | CTY | -0.33% | 5.36% | |
| Emera Inc | EMA | 6.21% | 3.79% | |
| Power Corporation | POW | 6.90% | 4.28% | |
| Evertz Technologies Ltd | ET | 1.32% | 4.09% | |
| Black Diamond Group Ltd | BDI | 5.58% | 3.97% | |
| TELUS Corp | T | 11.36% | 3.53% | |
| Rogers Communications Inc | RCI/B | 10.03% | 3.50% | |
| Average | 6.11% | 4.00% | ||
| XDV | 3.35% | 4.21% | ||
| Added Value | 2.76% | -0.21% |
I’m quite satisfied with my Canadian picks as well. I was struggling to beat my index (XDV with 3.35% so far this year) for the first three months. After April, I have now 6 stocks out of 10 beating the index. CTY and NA are still struggling but their high dividend helps a lot. Telus continues to seek higher summits after splitting not so long ago.
How about your portfolio this year? Are you as happy as I am?
Disclaimer: I hold shares of NA, T (Telus), CVX, INTC, JNJ, STX
