Dale,

I cannot answer the details on this except to say that I know some securities are not registered for sale in the US and also that the options trading on the MOE (Montreal) are only for sale to Canadian investors.

I think we American investors need to take a step back, though.

These trusts were originally created for the primary benefit of Canadians. One should be aware of that when investing. As a corollary, I think it is great that so far most do not have restricted units for foreigners that trade in the US only. CVL.UN is only for Canadians, ditto PGFa.TO.

Perhaps as an American investor, what we should be asking is "Where is the US equivalent of a CRT?" and "Why are MPL yields generally so pitiful" and the most important question of all, if we are privatizing Social Security why aren't we concurrently making available a CRT-style product in the US?"

Maybe the call you should be making should be to your elected representative?
