Hmmm, I hadn't counted. I've got 17. Heavily weighted to
NG and oil. Nervous about business trusts. SPF.UN has
been stellar. Wish I had more but...The only dog I own
is INZ.UN and that was a broker's recommendation. I'll
stick to the board and my own DD from now on. Some of
the trusts I bought have been down OYR.UN was down for
quite awhile. I should have followed Peter's strategy
and bought more when it was down. It just about back to
what I paid for it. If I'd averaged down, I'd be in the
money. Some of my trusts that have moved up substantially
(and the return has moved down) I've sold and replaced
them with other trusts.

My blue chips have also been paying decently (for common
stock). NF has been ten cents a quarter and patience has
paid off. It has moved up from 7 to 9.90 and looks like
it could go up another couple of bucks. RUS is good. Pays
7 cents a quarter and has at least another dollar upside.
TRP has been incredible if anyone bought after they cut
their dividend. EMA has been a solid performer for years,
paying 86 cents a year. Only dog here is Abitibi because
it cut its dividend. However, the price is moving back up.

I like the potential capital gains on the common. Never
expected to make the kind of capital gains I've made on the
trusts. That's been a big surprise.
