- Many US investors often overlook the money making opportunities that are emerging in Canada, a country with an abundance of in-demand commodities such as oil, gas, metals, minerals and farm products—not to mention the prevalence of cash-rich “income trusts,” whose high dividends and yields are the perfect antidote to the slowing US economy.

Of course, the Canadian market is not without its own turbulence; certain industries and sectors are more exposed to US economic woes than others and not every Canadian income trust is a winner. As with any investment opportunity, selectivity and an understanding of key economic, political and regulatory developments are essential to choosing the best trusts for your portfolio.
Each week in their free e-zine, Maple Leaf Memo, Roger Conrad and associate editor David Dittman—two of the leading US authorities on Canadian income trusts—examine the latest market trends north of the border and their implications for individual investors.
When changes to Canada’s tax laws threatened to cripple the profitability of these investment vehicles and skittish investors jumped ship, Roger and David pored over these new regulations and correctly determined that, if anything, many of these trusts were poised for explosive growth. Maple Leaf Memo subscribers have continued to reap the benefits of this research-intensive, forward-looking approach to analyzing Canadian market conditions.
Some of the topics and opportunities that Roger and David have covered include:
· The Bank of Canada’s latest monetary policy decisions, and how a stronger loonie has affected profits at some of the larger income trusts;
· The relationship between global grain inventories, rising consumer demand and the incredible growth prospects for Canadian potash, an important agricultural fertilizer;
· TransForce Income Fund’s decision to convert from an income trust back to a corporation;
· NAFTA, the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 and the potential threat to development of the Canadian oil sands; and
· The latest political developments north of the border in the run-up to the 2008 Canadian federal election, and their implications for the taxation of income trusts.
