What would we find that could possibly allow Reitmans to continue to grow their dividend at the current pace? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Stop teasing us Yielder!

But there is no way that that type of dividend growth can be maintained." You might want to try an identify what happened three years ago and compare it to 1997. It'll give you some insight into possible future dividend growth. It's easy to cruch numbers; the hard part is understanding the company. You need to look at Annual Reports (not just the financial statement portion although understanding cost of goods sold is illuminating). Sorry for being cryptic but there's more to RET.A than number crunching. Disclosure: I have a position. This is not a recommendation to buy. People should do their own research and make their own decisions, ie, I'm not responsible for what you do. “Yes, the last 3 years of dividend growth has been absoluely amazing.

I think the company has a great future, and their past has been great. It's a good way to diversify away from banks and resources in Canada while collecting the div. tax credit.
