    najdorf,

    I agree 100%. In addition, when dealing within the energy /resources sector, things like "nationalization&... whether covert (Putin), or open (Chavez) are MUCH less likely.

    hwood: Your list is reasonable from MO onwards. Those are all fairly safe stocks that are unlikely to cut dividends or inflict significant loss of capital on shareholders. But are you really comfortable when you look at the BAC balance sheet or the PFE pipeline?

    Also, there's a difference between Canada and countries like BRIC. Canada is like USA North: our economies are intertwined, language and culture are the same (excepting Quebec and Tim Horton's vs. Dunkin Donuts), trade is almost entirely free, governments fairly similar, etc. If anything, I would say Canada is safer than the US and potentially higher-growth - if anything further goes wrong in the US, a lot of people will be thinking about moving to Canada, doing more business in the north, or leaning more heavily on them for the resources we need. The only thing Canada needs to be the next hot country is a little bit of global warming. If every place was 10 degrees hotter, British Colombia or New Brunswick would look a lot more appealing relative to Arizona and Florida.

    hwood007,
    Anything can happen and does happen with US firms as well.

    Remember: Enron, Worldcom, Imclone, Adelphia, Bear Stearns ...... etc.

    I am not fond non US firms, anything can and does happen. You could buy some real dividends here in the US.
    BAC @ 9.5%; CNB @ 8.5%; PFE @ 6.5%; MO @ 5.5% GE @ 4.4%; D @ 3.6%; and KO @ 2.8%.

    I know, two are banks, but when CNB hit $3.50: I pulled the trigger. If you can not find something to buy now, you must be waiting for a new high.

    Canadian stocks trade on US markets directly, not as ADRs. The Bank of New York Mellon ADR website lists no Canadian ADRs. Reply

    CNQ is probably the best oil sands play. But what is it doing on a dividend aristocrats list with a yield of 0.44% Reply

    I own CNQ, but at a .44% dividend, I'd hardly classify it as "high yield". Yes, it has raised it's dividend for 7 years, but from a very small base...it has a long way to go until "high yield" territory. Reply

    I would not consider any financial institution a top stock in my book.
    I much prefer energy trusts with higher and stable dividend yields. Oil prices will only go in one direction in the long run (up, up and up)

    1) COSWF pays 12% and will likely increase the dividend 20% further according to Kurt Wulff (SA contributor)
    2) PWE pays 13%
    3) ERF pays 12% (They announced a recent increase for September)
    4) HTE pays 17%

    Yes, the income trust structure will be dismantled soon, but under the new (or conventional) corporate structure will trusts continue to pay regular dividends as before.

    The trick here is to properly structure trusts your portfolio.
    1) Within a retirement account (IRA for USA or RRSP for Canada) the dividends are taxed and the dividend taxes are essentially lost money.
    2) Outside a retirement account, the taxes paid on the dividends can deducted on your tax return and offset your total taxes due.

    The trust structure will be dismantled in the next few years as the government legislates (closes) the tax loopholes which allowed the creation of trusts. Most high-yielding trusts you see in your scans are distributing capital anyways. Reply

    With a headline like that, I thought perhaps the author would consider the Canadian Royalty Trusts, but was disappointed that he didn't. Why not at least consider Canadian Oil Sands Trust, Penn West Energy Trust, Penn Growth Trust, Precision Drillilng Trust, and the others as well. He did include Canadian National Resources, I should note. The energy related trusts don't have the baggage that comes with the financials, and I like that. Reply
