Canadian Royalty Trusts: Cash in On High Oil Prices

What an incredibly misleading article. For one thing BPT is an American not Canadian trust. More importantly, you forgot to mention that in 3 more years the Caanroys all lose their favorable tax treatment and it is very likely that distributions will have to be cut by something like 1/3 to compensate for that lost revenue. Also the RLI's of these trusts vary but are generally less than 12 years so a significant portion of your return is a return of capital not a return on capital. You need to do more research before you post such a misleading article. I hope no one makes any purchases based solely on what you have written.
