(A Top Pick July 13/06. Down 23.2%.) Drop was due to natural gas prices. Still likes. Low payout ratio. Excellent quality properties and excellent management. Long-term investors will do well with this.

They don't follow this trust as closely as others. Really has not taken off, has had disappointing results. Not their favourite name. Believes that there are better oil and gas royalty trusts out there.

They like it very much and they own it. It is one of their larger REIT positions. It is not inexpensive and hardly any REiTs are inexpensive these days. Riocan has done well over the past few years and they feel there are opportunities ahead for them. It is not cheap assets. Real estate is expensive.

Superior Trust is one that they have liked for a long time. In the long term it will do just fine. However, 2005 was a difficult year for them and they have yet to see 4th quarter results. Expectations are they might be a little weak. If you are looking for one for your first trusts, she is recommending Canadian REIT, Penn West, Yellow Pages Business Fund and BFI. (they own these trusts) These trusts are expensive though.

Connors Bros. Income Fund has had a difficult 2005 and has not announced its 4th quarter earnings results. There was a distribution cut at the end of the year.

Also, they would like to see them have pricing power before this expert would buy more.

Based on the quality of management, quality of assets and the outlook for the company, this is a good long-term hold. This is dependent on oil/gas prices.

They have a power purchase agreement with Calpine Corp, in the US and Calpine Corp. is very close to bankruptcy. This has been reflected in the price of the trust. Thinks they will be able to change the purchaser to a new body. There will be volatility here.
