Slower growth? No just kidding - they seem to be more income oriented as are stock investors everywhere else in world except Japan. Dividend yields in Europe and Asia tend to be 3-5% with dividends ratcheting up and down with earnings. I will look for a Canadian source.
On waiting for B&G, go look at a chart of a few of the different guys on your lists and mine (I am thinking ACAS, CSE, Centerplate) and look at the spikes into the last lows. Centerplate cratered to 11 and back to 14ish in 1-2 days. CSE spiked to 15ish and back to 17, ACAS did 35 back to 42. Amazing stuff!
