Message to Kerm: Could you or one of your associates give a summary of Energy Trusts from the point of view of those heavily weighted in gas and those weighted in oil?

Based on your assessments of the above, which of the many Canadian Energy Trusts are likely to provide the best return over the next 10 years based on reserves, new exploration, management competence, market conditions, etc.

I realize this is a very deep reply solicited. I, like many other stock market players, find myself wanting to channel some of my holdings into these Trusts to get a decent income stream.

I'm also trying to nail down the capital gains implications of a declining asset. For instance, a person buys a Trust for $10, holds it for 2 years, sells it for $11. Is the capital gain $1 or $1 plus all the distributions received in the 2-year period (or is the capital gain a percentage of the distribution calculated by some set formula)?

Thanks for helping.
