Maybe there's not really a market - Royalty Trusts aren't anywhere as well known as REITs, and it took REITs years to (almost) become part of the investing mainstream. many people re-invest with them using DRIPS, so no exchange transactions. Like closed end funds and warrants, this is an obscure corner of the investment world to most people. If you're a broker, why tell a customer about Royalty trusts ? they buy it and hold it - no more commissions until gas looks like it's in a down cycle. You sell them some thing that goes up or down, then they have a reason to sell it and then buy something else. Still, there must be a reason NCN is not liked as much as ERF. Re : PWI - I bought some to take advantage of the the interlisting 'pop' also the dividend. Expect the gain for listing to be 5-10 %, but it may be spread out over a number of months.
