Q: Hi guys
This recent option exercise at Mainstreet does not seem to be in the interests of shareholders other than Bob Dhillon.
http://reitreport.ca/mainstreet-announces-exercise-of-stock-options/

Your thoughts? Is it anything less than standard? I would see less issues if other directors had also been involved but it would appear to involve just the principle owner of stock.

I have held Mainstreet for quite a while. Other than a sale of the company, is there anything else that could move the stock price closer to book value?

I also own Moreguard and am considering selling MEQ for Moreguard - your thoughts.

Thanks guys

Q: Hi Team, My question is why Chartwell- CSH.UN is considered to be in the Real Estate/ Reit sector (in your company profiles) while Sienna Living - SIA is considered to be in the Health Care sector? I have always considered both to be in the Health Care/ Long Term Care business and hold sector % accordingly. Should I reallocate CSH.UN to my Real Estate sector? Appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.

Q: In response to my question on 22 Feb you stated: "As far as corporate structure goes, CSH is the only 'official' REIT of this group." I should have been more clear in asking my question - I would like to know if FSV and CIGI can be considered to be part of my REIT sector allocation. Also, you stated " We like IIP.UN and CAR.UN for growth, but they cannot be considered cheap. DRG.UN has a better valuation with still decent potential." Are you using P/E as the yardstick for determining the valuation/cheapness of a REIT - I note that P/E for DRG.UN is 4.4 on TD website.
