on an annualized basis with the latest $1.05 payout
announced. That's 8.56% at todays price. The Canroys you mentioned have oil price risk that KMP does not have, as well as currency risk. The Canadian Gov also holds back a portion of dividends for taxes, for which you then have to claim credits. ]]> Fri, 23 Jan 2009 15:13:21 -0500
