Earl:
The Canadian income trust market is, indeed, getting overheated,
so be careful. Note that with natural gas priced in U.S. dollars,
your currency hedge isn't ideal. If the Canadian dollar rises, natural
gas revenues decrease and the Canadian dollar income distribution
decreases.
The new Yellow Pages income trust (I don't recall the correct name,
offhand) would be a purer currency play, but personally I wouldn't
hold income trusts for more than a few more months. After that
offering, expect to see overpriced garbage coming onto the market,
and then the shine (and premium) will come off the Canadian
income trust market.
Sign me,
A Canuck.

Subject: Re: [RT] China Stocks
I had significant positions in China stocks until a few weeks ago. The
stocks I owned were all hefty dividend payers ... hefty by my 5%+ standards,
not by the SP500 standard of a paltry 1.7%+-. These included GSH, PTR, and
SNP. I felt that they were a good play on an eventual rise in the Renimbi
which is currently fixed to the US$. Rightly or wrongly, I unloaded the lot
when they went parabolic and the gains exceeded 4 years average dividends.
My currency hedges are now being placed in the futures markets. I continue
to hold large positions in Canadian Royalty Trusts for dual investment in
Natural Gas and in Canadian Dollar. They are now in early stages of going
parabolic and, if overdone, I will liquidate those too.
