The business and real estate trusts have provided almost all the disappointments in recent history. The O and G trusts seem to weather any storm. MXT had to suspend distributions for years, but now as UET is highly regarded. PVE had a problem with foreign ownership, but we don't hear much about that now. PMT took a hit but seems to survive. NCF had a POS designation for years, and has now been given a $27 target. ROFL ------ Seems a bit of a contradiction in your statement. And the real world trust data some of which you provide in snipets would seem to suggest otherwise. Seem to suggest that both the buisness trusts / REITS on the one end. And the oil/gas/resource on the other end. Can and do show much the same "disappointment" as you put it. It seems to be only a matter of ones time frame. If you look to some Previous posts by some members here seems to indicate they are somewhat happy with their own situations with the buisness trusts / REITS. Anyone wish to comment on some of their own situations?????? Conversely only those that hung through the tough times you describe and accumulated (at lows) with the oil/gas ones are laughing all the way to the bank. Those that bailed and took real losses because they got scared are now kicking themselves. Kind of ties in with our discussion of investing without a solid math strat. Investing by emotion (feelings) as you seem to do. With very little quantitive analysis (math) seems to be the culprit with any and all disasters ------ I am heavily overweighted in O and G because I think that energy is the sleeping giant of the investing world. ------I and many others think you are right at least on that count. --------- ----- As a bit of an aside. After your snide comment about my strat and method. And after I provided some more info to back myself up. That past posting. There are many more and more recent you and the others can look at. You have become quite silent on the matter. At any rate please leave those kind of comments out of any future exchanges they dont help anyone. And they most certainly dont help joe average trust investor who is just looking for real trust fact and real trust data and a real strat / method they can use to better their own investing. And better their own returns ----
