High-Yield Canadian Royalty Trusts vs. Dividend Growth Stocks

Tue, 12 May 2009 18:48:26 -0400

I still hold a lot of "Canroys",+ they still pay better than U.S. stocks. I just recently bought WMI, because they pay an attractive dividend and they have waste burning generator stations and they recycle a lot of their other by-products. Beats the crap out of coal burning generators, or gas fired generating stations which really rack up a home-owners bill. Another good stock is FPL which I bought on the low.

Pengrowth Energy, Gold Miners ETF: Value in Commodities

I still maintain you should still buy "Canroys" at least untill 2011, when the Canadian goverment changes the way it taxes "Canroys"(%38.5), but for now it's %15,which is on the dirt cheap. As far as Gold going up, I like it as I have a lot of it.(American Eagles,Mexican PESO,Maple Leaf). Gold to me is a "hedge" for emergencys,give or take. I see 'oil' hitting $80.00 a bbl at the end of the year. I feel sorry for the people in the "Ukarine", you either pay Russia's price or you freeze to death,witchever comes first. You should be glad your not living in Britian where gas is $5.00 a liter, not quite a gallon. I think gas will get to $4.00 a gallon before years end, so get your tanks filled.

Pengrowth's Distribution Cut Was the Right Choice - Bank of Montreal

I own a lot of "Blue Chip" companys in the U.S., and they are cutting their dividends, so what if the 'canroys' cut their dividend I'm still making more money than U.S. stocks,which most pay 1/4 (quarterly).

Where Is Penn West Energy Trust Going?

Tue, 09 Dec 2008 16:13:51 -0500

I think "Penn West Plaza" should be re-named "Shareholders Plaza" as that would be more fitting. I still believe CRT's as a major player in the oil markets as OPEC is cutting back even more to shore up there oil prices, we the US will realize we can do without foreign oil someday!!!. Hold on to your "rolality trusts" as they will pay off in the long run. With all the lay-offs occuring in the U.S., and dividend cutbacks for U.S. stocks this is still a bargain(Canadian Rolaity Trusts).Just my feedback.KPA

Petro-Canada Can Wait to Access Debt Markets Until 2010

Thu, 04 Dec 2008 13:48:49 -0500

The "Canroy's" in upper Canada are going to do better if what our President-Elect said is true. I thing he said ,no offshore drilling will be allowed. But 'Canada' is a different country, and they have plenty of Black Gold to back themselves up. And with the big 3 in turmoil, they will or should start producing better fuel efficent cars/trucks in the future or I hope so?.I would like to see the U.S. wean itself off of "foreign" oil, but with no offshore drilling what are we supposed to do.

Eight Stocks Going Ex-Dividend in October

Tue, 21 Oct 2008 18:39:59 -0400

I stated before about great dividend payouts from canadian trusts. Even when they take out canadian taxes it's only costing you about .03 cents U.S.D.. I bought HTE when it was trading at $40.00 and there still paying $.30 cents per share, looking at what it trades at today. Expect "OIL" to go up after "OPEC" meets. Which would you rather do, sell oil at $70.00 per barrel or sell it at $130.00 per barrel, more profit at $130.00 per barrel !. Stick with the canadian trusts and you will be re-warded.

Seven Canadian Energy Stock Picks

With the barrel of oil going down, I would think the "tar sands" would cut back on their dividend payout. I still have a lot invested in Canadian Oil, and I belive we cannot cut ourselves off of it. I'm glad to see the U.S. manufactors trying to produce more fuel efficent cars for our needs, and oil will always be a major player in whatever we produce in the U.S..

Penn West Energy: More Questions Than Answers

Thu, 22 May 2008 19:00:25 -0400

I'm holding on to my stock. PWE is not in good shape. But give them time to take the broom out of the closet and do a little house cleaning might help put them back on track. Giving the reason for not exploring new tracts of land,ALASKA is still the last frontier we have left,without all the pollution going on in the lower 48 states like we have now, give them time and they shoud clean up there act,I hope?.

Is Harvest Energy Trust's Premium Valuation Justified?

Tue, 11 Mar 2008 12:59:54 -0400

I haven't found too many comany's in the U.S. that pay 15%even if i comes to .30cents a share,or $1.20 every 1/4. Oil wil continue to go up as world demand for it increases. Propane is up, Home heating oil is up, Natural gas is up,next up is electricity,at least where I live. I'll take .30 cents p.s. anytime.

Canadian Political Tide Possibly Turning for Energy Trusts

Fri, 01 Feb 2008 11:52:06 -0500

I own a lot of 'canadian' energy trusts,especially H.T.E.,which pays an attractive dividend, and it's a lot better than some U.S. "stocks" that pay dividends but not equal to "canadian" energy. They(Canada) do take out foreign taxes on your investments,but for me it's not that much. I say invest in Canada's energy as you get a nice return for your money.KPA

Look for Significant Changes at Talisman Energy in 2008

I think in the long term you should buy energy stocks. The big "3" do not seem to be in any rush to make high mileage cars. I'm buying a lot of energy stocks almost at there 52 week low right now. I also buy 'canadian stocks' because of there yield. Just hold on to your investments, as they will rebound. The market is in turmoil right now partialy because of the 'sub-prime' mess,it will take a long time to straighten out.KPA
