Our financial advisor was reluctant to have us purchase bank stock for the dividend income this spring. In your opinion is that still a valid scenario? Some news today about Bmo being in trouble.

I think its nuts to buy anything "for the dividend income". The payment of a dividend creates an equal and offsetting capital loss. To not consider BOTH income and capital returns together is 'turning a blind eye'.
