TORONTO, ONTARIO — (Marketwire) — 10/13/11 — With bond and money market yields currently at low levels, investors are looking for ways they can boost their returns in a challenging market. One solution could be investing in dividends, which can provide a steady income stream paid once a quarter in the form of cash or stocks.

In volatile market environments, the importance of including dividends in a portfolio cannot be underestimated.
BMO will be hosting a media conference call this Thursday at 11 a.m. ET on various issues related to dividends; four experts will provide their insight on the following questions:
