High dividend yielding stocks

Canadian Income Trusts: Great source of dividends

Last week, an article about Fairfax holdings (FFH) caught my attention that it is on buying spree for Canadian Income Trusts like Jazz Air Income Fund (JAZ.UN) and The Brick Group Income Fund (BRK.UN). I also found another income trust Boralex Power Income Fund (BPT.UN).

These income trusts are paying great dividends whereas most companies are cutting dividends.

JAZ.UN (C$4.27) Dividend yield (23.55%)

BRK.UN(C$2.81) Dividend yield (21.35%)

BPT.UN (C$3.56) Dividend yield (19.66%)

These are wonderful returns on investment. No wonder Prem Watsa of Fairfax knows how to make most in bad financial markets as he did with Credit Default Swaps (CDS).
