PCL—I'll take a 3-4% yield on a stock like this rather than a long term bond any day.

Moreover, PCL’s dividends are taxed as LT capital gains due to a quirk in the US tax code.

[OT]…rationale for owning PCL indefinitely… The unique thing about timber stocks is that the underlying value of their assets appreciates because of tree growth even if they delay felling (assuming constant timber prices). Quite a contrast to an inherently depreciating asset like a mine or oil well. I'll take a 3-4% yield on a stock like this rather than a long-term bond any day.

Nothing is forever, but I’m ok with having my PCL shares exchanged for shares of WY in a non-taxable deal.
