Spotlight on HTE

HTE:

I've mentioned this one before. Harvest Energy Trust is a Canadian Trust. The Alberta tax initiative passed, so the dividend for this stock lowered from about .38 Canadian a share to .30. (Dividend is paid monthly). What's funny is, that with the weakening dollar, I actually get .32 US for this, while I was getting .36 US before. When this came out last night the stock was at $28.00. At that price, the dividend yield was still 12%!

Well, some people panicked today, between that news and the DOW going down, and the stock plummeted to $25.70. That makes the dividend yield on this over 15%!!

Is it at the low? I am not sure, option week is next week, so the market will still be volatile. I am guessing you will be able to purchase this somewhere between $22 and $25 sometime in the next week.

With that dividend yield, the price wont last long. I'm snatching some up with my IRA money, if that check ever gets here.

Anyway, always do your due diligence, but when the dust settles, and the market heads back up, (which it always does eventually) this one will be back in the $27 to $30 dollar range, plus you will be getting an estimated dividend of $3.60 per year.

Here is a link to their dividend history.

Good Fortune!

Always perform your own due diligence before making any investment.
