Q: Hi Peter and team. I have been thinking about your advices that increasing interest rate will have a negative influence on REITS. I also hold A&W, Boston Pizza and Enercare (aw.un. bpf.un and eci) for income. Would these also suffer if rates were to rise? Thanks John

Q: Hi, guys. Do you think a move out of di.un (been holding since $10.10) and into ala reduces the risk of my portfolio while keeping the same growth potential? I have been overweight the reit sector, including d.un, for the past few years and am looking to build my positions in the pipelines (I have been holding ppl, ipl.un for the past few years and have added enb more recently). I intend to hold most of my reit positions because I like the yield but also want more exposure to the pipelines because of their growth. What do you think?

Q: At least one BNN reporter and a growing number of other reports suggest REIT's are due for a significant pull back because they have been run up by investors looking for yield. Do you feel a pull back is imminent? Why or why not?

Q: CWT.UN? My wife owns in her RRSP the conv. debenture-pd par-one more yr. left. She got a call from CIBC to ask her to convert to shares @$25.50 eac. Deb. pays 6.65% per yr. WE each own CWT as part of ETF XRE which we have owned for 4 years-so, I would think it makes sense to convert and sell to make a tax sheltered gain in RRSP? Your thoughts pl Peter. Thank you...JP

Q: HLP.UN recently announced its first Q report which was in line with their forecast. In your review in July you advised it was too new to really give it a recommendation. Given its rather positive report would you advise to start accumulating some shares at this time?

Q: RUF.U Pure Multi Family REIT LP focuses exclusively on US real estate. With that market appearing to recover, and a 7% yield at current prices would this be a good holding? The principals of this company have an excellent track record with WEQ.un and AAR.un.
As usual, thanks for your guidance.
