You got any suggestions that pay decent dividends and are not subject to confiscatory Canadian lying politicians? IE: Some of the canroys are paying decently, but will change form and payout by 2011...

what would be a wise investment to take advantage of this phenomena which no one can change? I think it's still eeksy peeksy if we see cooling effect, but may be severe over several winters. My solution to hedge this downside risk was to buy a stove and two tonnes of the physical. Coal that is, bagged and in the basement. I am waiting for delivery now, but my merchant seems trustworthy, it's currently £250 a tonne (metric ton). I got the new stove with CH boiler on ebay for £600+, about half the normal price. I've still to install it, but the house has three disused brick chimmneys so it's a fun project. I'm still trying to figure out how to remove a 1930's era asbestos heat plate safely. May take a while but the outside temperature may goad me into taking more action. I'm thinking of buying a chainsaw, and be open to cut up and move fallen trees from storm damage at a reduced price. I have plenty of space to store wood, and the stove can burn it all. Buying coal related stocks would be a great "anti Putin" move if fuel prices skyrocket -g- The Chinese love coal it seems. But we have to wait until the stock crashing is done first I think. bigcharts.marketwatch.com
