The TSX only has 253 constituents. I'm not sure why the gap between VCE's dividend and the MSCI Canada index dividend is so high (0.6%).Michael Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362529610470788243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465015914589377788.post-5682289309562584992012-04-18T20:05:20.196-04:002012-04-18T20:05:20.196-04:00Anyone know why the VCE dividend is so low - about...Anyone know why the VCE dividend is so low - about 1.6%.

Seems too low; Tmx.com puts the TSX Composite Index dividend yield at 2.94% (April 18).<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />LarryLarry C.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465015914589377788.post-19957553476846060702012-04-10T13:56:12.438-04:002012-04-10T13:56:12.438-04:00@Big Cajun Man: In this analogy, pumping up the t...@Big Cajun Man: In this analogy, pumping up the tire means putting more money in your account.
