I'm with you on that score. I've been collecting rent at 18%+ on a good chunk of my port since loading up on BTE.UN just under $10 early in 2004. My ACB is now down to ~$7, and my butt is additionally well covered here because BTE recently put collars on a lot of their production before crude dropped. If I had eyes in the back of my head, yeah, I could have traded it, but I didn't and I don't really care either

>>>This board seems to be populated by disgruntled Americans who have sold all their trusts and sworn off Canada forever.<<, Not me. I am still recommending ES, though the decline in the prices of the trusts today may have cut the 15% discount from NAV that I was finding so attractive. Because ES flows through distributions from other trusts it has even omitted to collect the 15% tax a couple of time --but don't tell Ottawa that!

don't lump me in with the "disgruntled" Americans. I'm counting on Canadian investments to provide me with a better retirement. I've thought for many years that Canada's time would come and have invested with that in mind for five years now. I'm not selling now just because the "hot" money has arrived. I have traded a few things. I've had foreign investments for years and filled in my own foreign tax credit by hand. It is not that onerous and I've never had my calculations challenged, even when audited. Lately however, I let Turbo Tax do it. I'm spending next weekend in Toronto, one of my favorite cities. Anyone here from Toronto with any suggestions, other than Jamie Kennedy's? Money Penny
