Interesting....Which type of trusts in particular are you talking about? I have begun to invest in FAX, FCO and TGG....but I'm not sure if you were alluding to those types of income investments Chris

Right on . I have been hearing the word "dividend" used increasingly in the mainstream press lately, and even an opinion that in the long run more money is made from dividends than from capital gains. And that of course is referring to ordinary shares. The satisfying thing about trusts is that you can cease to care about others' perception of their value, resulting in the trading price, and worry only about the distributions, which have been amazingly reliable. The worst trust I own is paying me 6.7% and yet people contort themselves with guilt for buying Phillip Morris to get less than that. As this bear market slides down the slope of hope the owners of trusts, properly diversified, should do well.

Hi Lorne, Yes I agree there too (Although I've been playing a lot of gold these last few months I'm about 75% out of the gold these last few weeks). I've been quietly looking for those things to put in my 'relaxing' portfolio. I already have energy trusts, AVN.un, PWI.un, COS.un and some NAT and FAP for quite a while now. to the thread: This one has been discussed here in the past sentryselect.com. Anyone have any current thoughts ? I realize it's pretty high right now but it certainly contains some thread favourites and the contents seem applicable to the theory (with a mix of energy and power generation). for 2002: Do these mgmt fees seem high ? or are these typical ?
