Michael Simpson, CFAFording Canadian Coal Trust (Inc Trust)FDG.UN.TODON'T BUYMar 31, 2006

They recently announced the price they will get for their metallurgical coal, which was a little bit lower than the market expected. They are faced with some bottlenecks in western Canada, including the rail line and shortage of tires for trucks. Longer term he likes coal. If stock price fell more, he would take a look at it.

COMMENT

Fording Canadian Coal Trust (Inc Trust)(FDG.UN.TO)

Oct 24, 2008
Being acquired by Teck Cominco (TCK.B-T). If you are holding this in a taxable account, there are some very negative consequences. In an RRSP or RIF you can avoid the tax consequences. He sold the majority of his holdings into the market prior to the transaction.

Being acquired by Teck Cominco (TCK.B-T). Arbitrage companies were forced to sell. There is a financing gap and Merrill Lynch (MER-N) is part of that, so the market is concerned. The deal could fall apart.

If held in an RRSP, you could continue holding. If it's in a taxable account, consider selling the units before the new deal gets done. Take it as a gain as opposed to the tax treatment that will supposedly come on the consummation of the deal. (Editor’s note. Check with your broker.)
