Q: I just rec'd an offer from the company to buy back shares at $8/share. While a premium to current share price, it doesn't seem overly generous. My inclination is to hold on to the shares as the company seems to be in good shape. Your view, please?
Q: Peter; Both smu.un and dir.un reported, I thought, really good earnings but both dropped on higher than usual volume. Am I missing something here ? Thanks. Rod
Q: Could I please have your thoughts on this company, I have owned it for a while and have lost money. In particular, I note the company is issuing a debenture that is convertible to stock at $12.60 Canadian, which is a much higher share price than today's price. Assuming the debenture sells, is this an indication that good things are expected for this company?
Q: I have already lost Milestone to a takeover and now it appears that I will lose Pure Multi-Family. Do you have any suggestions on how to play apartment rentals in the US without buying an American security. Thank you as always. Nigel.
Q: Just to round out my portfolio a little I hold 2 REITs - CAR.UN and GRT.UN. It seems the whole REIT sector has been uneventful this year. With these two I'm above water but other than collecting the monthly payouts, there have been no growth.
Do you think the rate cut in the U.S. should/will give this sector a boost? I'm thinking about flipping these two REITs for something that represents a better balance between yield and growth (suggestion if any). Your recommendations/opinions are much welcomed. Thanks.
Q: Would you comment on American Hotels selling its Economy Lodging portfolio to focus on the premium branded hotels. Lately they have been active is bringing many of its recent purchases up to the premium standard and that has cost a couple of million per hotel.
Q: This seems to be a relatively new US REIT. Have you had a chance to form any opinions on this REIT? Do you have any info on the payout ratio and how safe the divi might be??
Q: I currently have no investments in the REIT sector and have about 10% cash. Would you say this would be a good time to step into WPT Industrial or Canadian Apt Properties for income and some growth? Please provide your insight on a comparison. On the US side how do you view XLRE? I am retired and looking for some stability and wouldn't mind allocating to 2 properties. Thanks.
Q: Your comments on NWH.UN's recent purchase of properties & their issuance of trust units . Are these moves positive, negative or neutral. So far it has done well for me. Thanks ,as always for your valued information.
Q: Am looking at these two reits who pay distributions in US $. Your opinion on both and would you recommend one or the other, both or neither. Thanks Derek
Q: I just bought more Tricon today after RBC downgraded the share price target from $14 to $13. Am I missing something here? I have looked at this company very meticulously - management has hit its numbers consistently over the years and the recent merger looks great in terms of scale - why the consistent market punishment?
