I have calculated % gain for the 4 major banks and BOQ with starting point being the December low for each stock and Tuesday's (today) closing price which in all cases was not the days high.

1. BOQ + $0.87c. % gain 9.56%

2. WBC + $2.22.   % gain 9.52%

3. NAB + $1.92.    % gain 8.52%

4. ANZ + $1.88.    % gain 8.18%

5. CBA + $4.92.    % gain 7.28%

Not a lot in it as far as percentages go but consider the fact you can buy more BOQ shares with your capital then it stands to reason your dividend cheque will be much larger based on past dividends paid by all of these stocks. All good if you had the foresight to buy the recent dips and the banks don't scale back their dividend down the track. I just love a Queenslander.
