Not sure whom you're referring to here but I'm more worried about the price dropping to a poind where I've lost all of my capital gains as well as the distributions and eroding my adjusted for inflation principle.
That's why I don't purchase these units specifically for the distributions. It has nothing to do with being "safe" or able to pay their varying rate, but maintaining a decent income without principle erosion.
Trading in and out only takes half an hour or so, by the time I've divested the units in my different accounts and seeing as I've been retired for over 15 years, time is something I'm not overly worried about.
As often as not, but not guaranteed, my swing trades pay much better than buying and holding for distributions.
I have other investments, such as EIT.UN that pay a fixed amount each month and at my purchase price, the percentage paid is as good as BK or better, depending on the month.
BK is a good investment vehicle. Most of the banks in it are heavily loaded up with household type mortgages, but only around 3% of commercial mortgages/leases. Only one bank, I believe CM has appx 30% commercial holdings at risk.
This has been a long drawn out process that will lead to some sort of recession and by the time I sold off all of my BK, around 13.75, the last time I had made a full year of distributions by trading the swings and still retaining 100% of my principle.
It would be nice if I could do that every time, but I'm not that astute and NO, I don't want to lower the price, not that it would be possible by commenting on this site or any other.
GLTA the good folks here
