We've already had record breaking temps and rainfall in the Atlantic provinces. Winds from a warming ocean and tropical heat from down south are keeping uncomfortable humidity levels up for weeks. Hurricane season is coming soon and some hurricanes will probably sustain more power moving up into the east coast of Canada. These intense storms usually slow up some coming into colder North Atlantic waters.
With the top dividend paying stocks I own, I'm looking to further build on Fortis (FTS.TO) with an ex-dividend date in mid August, 2023. FTS is also a holding in an ETF I mentioned in my last article, BMO's ZWU and other popular Canadian utility focused ETFs out there.
In the first half of August, Enbridge (ENB.TO) has an ex-dividend date on the 12th. Always wise to double check these ex-dividend dates. I'm a monthly "dollar cost averaging" buyer so I keep track of these dates being in the accumulation stage which I'll probably stay in well into the future.
In the second half of August, some of my top financial/insurance companies of interest like Manulife Financial (MFC.TO), Sunlife (SLF.TO) and Great-West Life (GWO) comes to mind with GWO having the best 1 year return plus a current yield of 5.18%.

In Crypto land where I just focus on BTC and ETH, the US has shot down spot BTC ETF applications for years. That could change where Blackrock, one of biggest stock ETF providers has submitted an accepted application by the SEC. Time will tell if it's approved and will that boost BTC's price as retail and Wall Street types buy? It could but that virtual coin/token world is volatile and no one can call it only guess although the word is some are stockpiling funds/BTC to go all in if Blackrock is a go.
