Q: Hi Folks
I have owned TCN for some time and the share price is still above my purchase price but the value keeps steadily eroding. RBC reports on it regularly including the Case-Schiller price index in each of the areas where it holds rental homes. These show appreciation of 13.4%, 4.3% and 5.7% in 2013, 2014 and 2015. Most recent results show a small decrease of -0.1%, month-over-month. They also hold homes in areas that are not covered by Case-Schiller including Houston which is affected by the decline in oil prices. About 12% of the rental homes are in Houston according to RBC I remember some reference to this on BNN but I haven't been able to find it. Do you think this may be behind the decline in the stock price and do you have any thoughts on the significance of this factor? Thanks.

Q: Good time to sell at market prices in the $35 range given all the shares tendered won't necessarily be purchased at $36? Take money off the table as in the short run, this name may not do very much. Might be an opportunity to buy back lower into the name down the road. Or the price may be supported by the earnings growth of the additional leverage the company is taking buying back its under valued shares. Wondering your thoughts.

Q: I only own one Reit which is Slate Retail Reit. Nice dividend but little movement in stock price. What would be your three favorite Reits? And where does Slate Reit fit into your picks or does it? Thanks so much. Lorraine

Q: Was thinking REITS might be a good place to look for income right about now. I own Tricon and TGF.UN for about 2.5% of my PF and for domestic REITs HR.UN and SRU.UN for 2% of my PF. Are there any REITS that seem particularly attractive to you right now?

TIA

Q: Looking to increase REIT exposure. With growth and income as the objective, which is the better play for 3-year hold?

Q: Lots of changes. They seem to be raising a lot of liquidity; selling assets, cutting dividend, stopping DRIP, and increasing credit facility. Doesn't seem to make sense. Do you think there are skeletons in the closet that are not apparent that they are preparing for? Could things be worse than they look? Or are they eyeing opportunities? Would you be a buyer?

Q: Your analysis, please. Down almost 80% from its highs, but Full-year gross revenue up 18% to $6.0 billion; fee revenue up 17% to $5.2 billion; Adjusted Earnings Per Share of $10.01 up 26% reported at the beginning of this month. What am I missing, why is this down so much more than the rest of the market?
