>>What I read before was that the yield looks high on the income trusts because they are non-renewable resources... Take a look at Arc's web site. They started out about 10 - 13 yrs ago (approx) with approx 10 years of proven + probable reserves. Its now 10 - 13 yrs later, the reserves are approx 10 - 12 years now. Actually have increased. What you want is a trust that can build reserves while keeping up dividend payments. Its not easy to do, I think... I look at reserve life, track record of building reserve life (or at least not loosing it) and dividend payout. I look for 10% if I can get it (before canadian 15% tax on dividend)... also its nice if its stable or increasing. If all 3 are there, should = VALUE.
