Q: Hello 5I, is this new offer from InnVest "good enough" to accept in your opinion? ("InnVest") (TSX:INN.UN) announced today that it intends to increase the purchase price under its existing offer to purchase up to $28,750,000 of the outstanding principal amount of its Series G Convertible Unsecured Subordinated Debentures (the "Debentures") from $1,060 to $1,080 (the "Increased Offer Price") for each $1,000 in principal amount (the "Offer"), and proposes to amend the conversion price for each InnVest unit to be issued upon the conversion of one Series G Debenture under the trust indenture governing the Debentures to $7.50 rather than the $8.00 originally proposed (the "Indenture Amendments").
Thank you

Q: Greetings: Many REITs are trading below book value ie: cheap, bargin basement territory with good yields. If interest rates rise and REITs have their debt under control why does the REIT price fall? If interest rates rise because of inflation expectations and an improving economy, REITs have the ability to raise rents faster then inflation thus acting as a hedge against rising rates BUT the opposite has happened. Where is the flaw in this logic? Thank You

Q: I am considering an investment in Morguard MRC. Currently I have 3% of the portfolio in REI.UN and HR.UN. In your recent report you concluded MRC's returns make up for the yield and the valuation provides downside risk. Comparing the 3 stocks, over a 5 year period would you expect MRC's returns to be significantly higher than the other 2(capital appreciation and dividend combined)? Would you agree with putting half the current holding into MRC and which of the other 2 would you keep.
Many thanks for your considered opinion
Mike

Q: I have recently taken a small position in HHC (howard hughes company), as well as selling some out of the money puts (Oct140s, jan 130s). The more I read about this one, the more I like it. No dividend, but bought 6 prime properties around US, some at very distressed prices during the 2008/9 real estate crash. Debt ratio seems excellent as well as development opportunities on their properties. I would appreciate your view on this one, both pros and cons.

Q: I own NBD-T and BRP-N and am down 12% and 22% respectively. On the plus side they are each only about a 1% weighting in my portfolio. They continue to trend down and yet the housing data in the US (which I assume is driving them) doesn't seem to be that bad and in fact improving albeit at a slow pace. What would make them go up and should I continue to hold or get out and get something else? I have nothing else in the real estate sector. Great service.

Q: REITS: I just read your report on MRC and, despite a low yield %, the B+ rating makes it tempting. Would it make sense for me to switch out of one or more of the following in order to then add MRC to my portfolio? Other REITS currently held include: CWT.un, GRT, DI.un, AAR.un, AP.un and HR.un.

Thank you again.
