allocate to this new playground, The playground is more extensive than energy and real estate too. I have a private label food manufacturer, sardine canner :o), transport company, Oil service, recycling, sugar and cold storage... real businesses.. where you can make money without needing to find the greater fool to buy your shares when you feel they are fully valued. finance.yahoo.com One other thing I've not seen mentioned here is the tax treatment. Especially in oil and gas certain expenses are passed through to the unit holder (like flow through shares). Here we call this component ROC (return of capital NOT Republic of China :o). The bottom line is you are not taxed on the ROC component when you receive it but it lowers your ACB. The point then is that you are deferring tax payment until sale of the units on part of the income and here it is at a more favourable rate of capital gains vs dividends or interest. I don't know how that applies to you though. It is not a big issue for me yet as I've held these in my tax deferred accounts only until this year. regards Kastel
