Weekly Blog Round: Your Money & Your Dividends

I finished my 5 post series on some income trusts I was looking into to understand the impact of their conversion come January 1, 2011. These income trusts tend to have a high yield and I have always monitored them to understand if the yield was sustainable and if the business made sense for the long term. If you have not had a chance to look at them, I have listed them below. I am always interested to hear what you think! My top pick at the moment would have to be LIQ.UN. It may be a perfect fit for my 2011 TFSA contribution.
