Welcome aboard. For a thread that almost died, we're now at the Century Mark in # of posts. Do you know how you would set up a trailer park REIT? There are prison REIT's in the U.S. and probably even mortuary REIT's. Recently in the Globe, they joshed about how REIT's are like someone who lives in a house who packages up the rent and mortgage as an income stream then charges us a management fee to live in the joint. Extending the imagination: Grain Elevator REIT's, Rail CAR REIT's, Garbage Dump REIT's, University Cafeteria REIT's, etc. ***************** Well, I made the big move this week, buying my first energy trust after downsizing some of my REIT holdings. Not that I didn't like CAR.IR, but that 2nd $4.00 payment on some of these units is daunting. Currently hold: CAR.IR HOT.IR LGY.IR REE.IR WCL.UN Any comments on this mix? Would consider Orion but again, don't like the $4.00 payment in June, expecially since WCL.UN is already trading as a fully-paid unit and is throwing off over $1.00/year. Who wants to be post #100?
