RE:RE:RE:RE:my thinking on splitHey Ariahp
You're welcome on the response. It certianly is interesting times for TRP.
Just to be clear on what shares you would get with a 3:1 ratio on your 6000 current shares. You'd get 4500 TRP gas side and 1500 new oil side. The gas side is basically the new TRP and will continue to trade as ticker TRP. I strongly think it will be the better of the two and will continue with regular divy increases. The oil side could be ugly and I suspect it will eventually have a divy cut (or as a minimum, no divy increases). I also think there will be selling pressure on the oil side at the time of the split.
I guess we'll see how it all plays out.

Thanks for responding to my question. Both of us went trhrough the IPL movie and in hindsight I have done well by convertinl all IPL into PPL.
Anyways so If I have say 6,000 TRP ( I chose the DRIP option) , you speculate that I will get 2,000 oil shares and no Gas shares. That sucks .
I will convert into the gas side at the earliest without hopefully triggering big capital gains. I realize this is speculation, but atleast I have to formulate a strategy.
I only have SU in the oil side and as of late it is doing well. Beyond that I own PPL, KEY , TRP ENB and BNS
Love the combined dividends. Only thing I dont like is the quarterly, it forceses me to budget or rather manage my funds closely......LOL.
I look forward to more discussions on the split scenario.
Take care and Good luck.
