Words From The Wilds

Well, there are some good deals still out there in trust world. Actually, with the low market prices for some of these, the yield is quite good. The market for these investments still appears a little confused, possibly until the next election. Still, the distributions are decent for most and great for some (still). Canwel, for example, still yields about 18% income before taxes, based on recent prices.

Here is an update for price performance (not including income received) since first mention here several months ago for those trusts that I am following (the market prices are as of 2007-03-16 and the changes are since my first mention):

Cominar Real Estate Income Trust (+31%)
Canwel Building Materials Income Fund (+5%)
Rogers Sugar Income Trust (-3%)
Sentry Select Diversified Income Trust (-15%)
Boston Pizza Royalty Income Trust (-16%)
Yellow Pages Income Trust (-12%)
Penn West Energy Trust (-26%)
Badger Income Fund (-9%)
