The resulting 4% dividend yield was too good to pass up! And this is from a value investor who almost never buys large cap stocks! I buy with at least a 5-yr outlook, though, so short term price pullbacks on stocks normally present me with buying opportunities. You just need to pick a price point that you are comfortable with buying and when it falls below that, then just pull the trigger and don't worry about it if it falls a bit further than your target, as long as you have a fundamentally solid company.

I recently bought TransCanada Pipelines (TRP) when the yield was 4% on my buy price. The markets could very well go down from here, so getting the shopping list ready would help in picking up some bargains.

If it breaks into the $55 range I will probably jump on it. Loblaws was also interesting earlier this week but I missed that one. However, you might want to check out Bill Carrigan's column in the Star this morning: http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1150408210721&call_pageid=970599109774&col=Columnist973792654645 He says that by the fall the market could be lower than where it is right now. A week or two ago he pretty much predicted the little stumble we have had over the last couple of weeks. Of course this is only my opinion and anyone reading this should do their own homework and consult with their financial advisor before making any investment decision.
