Canadian Dividend Stocks

As part of my Recent Buy series, I try to let my readers know of any equities I purchase soon after the transaction is completed. This is just one way I try to document my progress toward early retirement and financial independence. I'm actually going to list two purchases as I completed both transactions in close sequence.

First, I purchased 25 shares of The Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) on 2/26/13 for $58.75 per share. For my second purchase, I bought 18 shares of Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD) on 2/26/13 for $82.08 per share. Overall, I'm very excited with these additions to my portfolio. Both are new positions for me and I'm now a part-owner in Canadian based businesses for the first time! Awesome. I've been focused on bolstering my exposure to the financial sector recently. I'm probably a little late to the game in that regard as a lot of financial stocks, most notably bank stocks, have had quite a big run over the last few years.
