I feel like my ship is slowly taking on more and more water. I added 20% to my kri.to position which was down 20% today. I purchased a little CNQ after it dropped 8% today, and I doubled up on Pauls MCGC at a discount to NAV of 13.22 .

Water and water ETFs:
seekingalpha.com

Pretty good article and comments on SeekingAlpha. I agree with the comments though:

- Water shortage(s) is an issue.
- It is not clear how to invest in this though: utilities are and will be regulated especially on profit margins, infrastructure companies are suffering from material price rise and do not have strong pricing power.

My conclusion for now:
- Not invest in ETFs
- Maybe invest in select companies in the future. If I find something that is cheap and earns good return on equity.

So much for this macro theme...

Following you and adding to ACAS position today.

Oooh! Bad move!!!

11.3% dividend, has a history of increasing its dividend, and really seems to be a solid company.

But I took a dip today, too. I'm so bad I've considered loading up on OTM front-month puts on anything I buy!

Short-term, seems to have worked out nicely and I'll be content to just sit on it and collect the dividend. Though with its pattern, it'd be hard to stay in it in the mid 40's. Has a tendency to make that a profit-taking opportunity followed by another buying opp.
