It allow me to maximize my diversification. If I like income trust, its because of their dividend. I own many .UN, but with my new comer Premium Brands, I try to get more into corporation stocks. JE.UN is one of the company I own. I do not have it all invested in JE.UN. But to talk more about Just Energy, I really like the company. I not investing all in it, but if I could, I would invest more in it. The company you names who went bankrupt are in the financial sector.... I am diversify enough to survive another market crash. I am not that much into real estate. But thanks for mention, I didn&#39;t know about it. Thanks for the link, but I prefer my blog better lol.Sunnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10439081666297874311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6818486532233792196.post-50035126413898963412010-02-27T08:05:49.394-05:002010-02-27T08:05:49.394-05:00Sunny,<br /><br />Interesting portoflio! I stumbled on your blog while searching on the dividend growth strategy.<br /><br />My only concern is that your non-registered account comprises of many penny, small cap stocks and income trusts. Yes, those stocks have the potential for higher growth, but there&#39;s also lots of downside risk. With income trusts you will get more distribution that a regular dividend paying stock. With the new rule on income trust taxation in 2011 this might have a major effect on your holdings, you just have to watch out.<br /><br />Borrow to invest is a good strategy, but you have to be aware of the risks. Putting all in JE.UN might not such a good idea. Remember, any company can go brankrupt, even the biggest company and strongest in the world are not immune such as Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, Merrill Lynch to just to name a few. Even AIG and Citigroup once one of the biggest insurer and bank respectively are still in serious trouble.<br /><br />If you like income trusts so much - have you considered real estate income trusts? These are not affected by the new rules coming in 2011.<br /><br />Anyway, wish you luck on your decisions.<br /><br />You should check out Tom Connolly&#39;s website:<br /><br />http://www.dividendgrowth.ca<br />http://www.dividendgrowth.ca/dividendgrowth/old_pages/inctrust_oct06.html?s=income%20trustDonaldnoreply@blogger.com
