Markrhead..Canroy dividends were (past tense) not taxed in IRA's if you asked your broker to have the tax not assessed. I have read that Canada was going to stop that in 2005. Keep in mind that the divident $ shown in Yahoo is in Canadian $, while a US holder will get paid in the lower US$ amount, still a good rate. If you go to the Yahoo msg boards of the stocks that I posted, you should find some well versed posters.
