I don't have any positions in income trusts. I want to add REITs but I am waiting for prices to come down. I don't plan to add any business trusts or oil and gas trusts as I prefer stocks that reinvest at least a portion of earnings to grow their business. Larry: Thank you for your comments.

As we approached the last federal election and there was controversy about the future tax treatment of distributions was in question, I sold all my positions. I had already lightened up considerably due to the rising valuations. in 2003 and 2004 Income trusts made up a substantial portion of my portfolio, about 30%, and I was happy about that, with an average 8% yield. Riocan, which is the premium REIT in Canada, could be purchased with an 8% or better yield. Today, it sells for a 5.6% yield. Yellow Pages, the premium business trust, sells for a 6% yield. I believe these valuations are unsustainable and looking forward to adding both back to my portfolio when more reasonable valuations return. I believe a day of reckoning is coming for income trusts.
