Hi everyone hope all of you had a great summer. I am back from my mini writing break, I hope to start writing more often now as I get back into my normal routine as school starts next week. Today’s post is going to focus on a dividend increase I received back on August 22nd from Royal Bank of Canada when they announced their quarterly results.
