I hear your frustration. Sometimes (just sometimes?) stocks just don't behave logically. Sometimes it is context. My parents are long retired. They're the GIC generation. They're being offered around 2%. With taxes and inflation they're getting a negative return. Telus just cut its dividend by more than fifty percent. Sherrit cut its dividend by fifty percent. It's harder and harder to find a common stock that pays a decent dividend and even those stocks are taking a beating. Take Abitibi, for instance. Lot of brokerage support. By all reports a good company but the price drop is absolutely wicked. Or Noranda. There's quite a list. NF is still paying its regular dividend but I wonder how long they can keep doing that. Paper and pulp are being trashed. So is mining. Pipelines are holing up TRP PIF.UN but if the present trend Give all of the above (groan, weep) SHN's present dividend looks good. If all the stocks are ugly, then you pick the least ugly rather than the most beautiful.You sound though as if you've got your eye on some trusts that are still beautiful or might become so. continues for another six months they'll be under pressure.
