RE: I'm dying waiting for $28Hi bushed. I sailed up to and around the QCIs a few times with my hubby and friends. It's beautiful and I envy you for living there. We always had good weather, but I understand the storms between the QCI and mainland can be fierce.
I don't know much detail about logging or construction equipment other than what I learned from listening to my Dad (a mechanic) talk about the machines he worked on. So I know what a turbo charger does and what a powershift transmission is, but not much more.
I have been a Finning shareholder for many years and will continue, albeit to a lesser degree. I have been looking at Bombardier recently, but I'm so heavy into CAE right now (much of my recent FTT profits) and they seem to parallel so I don't see that there would be any difference once they turn around. So I'll stay with CAE.
On the RRSP side, I intend to sell some of my CAE into my RRSP (at a large loss) which will setoff gains on FTT and when CAE turns around the gains there will be sheltered.
I haven't looked at trust units, but will check out the leads you gave. Thanks.
