Hi William - I'm not sure how much is tied to the Loonie, and how much washs out becuase prices are heavily influenced by US price. I would expect it varies from RT to RT, depending on their deals and index prices. Right now, the huge increase in NG prices overshadows everything elese.

WH, Canadian royalty trusts do not benefit from the appreciation the CDN$. I have posted before that two that I contacted confirmed that fact though many on the yahoo boards still believe a strong CDN$ is positive. I am merely guessing, but since it has been a while since CRT's have announced bought deals or acquisitions, the prospect of such remains high. As you know, these announcements usually present buying opportunities as unit prices drop. The attraction of RT's, IMO, is the yield spread they offer compared to most other fixed income classes. If the weather remains warm and NG prices continue to decline, the strength of the CDN$ may cause reductions in distributions and a subsequent decline in unit prices. Good luck, whitepine
