Yes same goes for DRL, Q. Problem is that we could really be in a phase where the worse kind of news pop up early in January. Also from very hefty reversals I see that hedge funds cash out in january with some intensity in various assets: Currencies against the USD where the market was pretty long at Dec 31. The EUR Yen cross is a good example. Asian stock Indices which fall several points on practically no news and still see no buying. Energy and some other commodities again without any fundamental reasons. High fliers are overbought and the lack of bears exacerbates the fall on small volume selling.

'These trusts own or lease oil and gas rights and collect royalties from producers, which they then pay out directly to shareholders, not unlike real estate investment trusts. The payouts are considered qualified dividend income for U.S. investors and subject to the advantageous 15% tax rate. The Canadian government withholds 15%, but U.S. investors can claim an offsetting tax credit on their federal tax return. The dividends are only taxed when they're received as income by unit holders, not at the corporate level. However, when Canadian Finance Minister Jim Flaherty announced the government's intention to tax these trusts on the corporate level beginning in 2011, these so called "Canroys" fell by 20% and more, and their yields swelled to over 16%. A number of brave advisers, including Forbes magazine fixed income columnist Richard Lehmann, editor of Forbes/Lehmann Income Securities Investor, decided that it was time to double down, reasoning that even if the higher tax rates were to pass, these energy-backed yield shares would still have yields of 8% to 12%. He has been buying more Canroys, and now it seems that Marketocracy's best-performing stock pickers are in agreement with Lehmann and are scooping up shares' forbes.com
