Q: i held health lease HLP.un, and was thinking of adding extendicare with the funds from the HLP buyout (I also hold leisure world). Extendicare has now dropped somewhat, making it even more attractive, but - do you see it going lower if rates should actually increase, how stable is the dividend and how dependent is exe on government funding? This would be held for income.

Thanks

Q: 10:16 AM 12/10/2014
Hello Peter
I am looking for safety of dividends and dividend growth, with some share price growth too, and can add about 1% to an existing position.
I am considering adding to one of :

Chartwell CSH.UN - I have a 0.1% starter position..... yield 4.6%.
Emera EMA - I have a 2.0% position........ yield 4.04%.
Enbridge ENB - I have a 2.4% position............yield about 3.07 after latest increase.
Enbridge Income Fund ENF - I have a 5% position............... yield 4.48%.

Which has the least liklihood of a dividend cut, and which would you pick, and why would you choose the one you do.
Thank You ....... Paul K

Q: I can see no reason for the drop in price - I know the company has most assets in the west but I cannot believe they are going to lose much because of falling oil. What is your opinion of the company

Q: I'm interest to add just one REIT to my portfolio and my choice is down to two: AP.UN or CAR.UN.

Dividends growth are nice but I'm more interested in "total return" (dividend + SP growth). In this regard, these two are close in their 5yr. returns, though CAR.UN is 10% better in their 1yr. returns (30% versus 20% approximately).

Which one do you prefer, or there are better ones I should consider instead?

Thanks.

Q: Hi : your analysis of the latest results - growth looks good but payout of 104% seems high. Is debt of 56% not pretty conservative for a REIT? 96% occupancy seems very impressive.
