Hi again.
I have been trying to set up my own calculators, and calibrate them using your models, but I cannot replicate some of the data.
For example - The annual High & Low numbers you have don’t match any I can find - can you tell me how you found yours?
Annual dividends I was able to find, as well as EPS, and BV.

Thanks.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the compliment.

As for Wells Fargo, I am not sure. But I will analyze this stock.

As for the BNS yield, I logged on to the Scotiabank investor site and the last 4 quarters of dividends paid have been: $0.39, $0.42, $0.42 and $0.45. That adds up to $1.68 dividend per share.

When I did the analysis, the price of the stock was $52.89. That gives me a yield of 3.18%.

I like the way you analyse stocks. I own a few stocks that you talk about and the fact that i’m canadian this is great. What about Wells Fargo? Is it better priced than BNS and by the way my data shows BNS is yielding 3.45 rather than 3.19 as of july 4. It shows up in my td waterhouse account at 3.45

Great job keep it up.

Thank you very much for the compliment Yaser.

Coming from such a respected financial blogger as yourself, it is very humbling.
