Q: Hi All,
Just a comment about DR.
Your comment today on DR says that insider buying is only 1%. However, the doctors own approx. 45% of the company and DR equity holders 55%. We have owned DR in 3 portfolios since 2006 and are verrry pleased with it's eligible dividends and steady growth, eventhough it can be quite volatile at times.

Q: I have owned AX for 3 yrs, averaged down 1 time but still underwater, recently took small positions in KWH & DR.Interested in BRE. Looking for safety, growth, and dividends. Should I sell AX put the proceeds into BRE or spread the proceeds evenly among KWH, BRE, DR. Perhaps you could rank these four.
Many thanks

Q: Hi Peter and team

I was thinking of starting a position in DR after the last Q report (and I wish I had) but I found something in the financials (from morningstar.ca) that gave me pause:

Earnings per share: $.46
Earnings per share (diluted): $.18

The diluted share count did grow by 8,000,000 (or roughly 25%) but that doesn't account for the difference in per share earnings. Was there a share offering? How should I interpret the bigger difference in per share earnings versus share count?

Thanks
Peter

Q: your thought on DR:
- is it worth buying at $13.00
- is the divined reasonable covered
- are there major problems in the company and/or business to explain the steep share price drop
- should I sell the small position and move on even if I would stay for the divined and hope for better days

as usual many thanks to all the 5I people

Q: Hi guys,

Can I get your thoughts on Artis REIT? I've been watching them for some time now. They have managed the Alberta downturn relatively well. Do you know, based on forecasts, when their cash flows are expected to grow again? Do you like the direction the company is taking (I seem to recall they are looking at getting out of US retail)?

As for Medical Facilities Corp, is the price drop all about the change of leadership? I own some but am not sure if I should be buying a bit more at these levels. The yield is very enticing.

Thanks,
Aaron

Q: Within the last month I took a half position in CSH.UN, and a quarter position in DR (both in my RRSP). I am down about 6% on both. If you were to add to one of these positions today, which one would you choose, and why? Or just wait as they have negative momentum.

Q: I hold substantially less than 5% of each of the above securities in my diversified portfolio.The sector is not over-represented in my portfolio. I would appreciate your opinion as to which, if any, should be sold because of duplication; and/or to reduce the # of stocks held; and/or because of other specific concerns; and which, if any, should be added to. I do not require the cash from any disposition, am not averse to risk, and, subject to your comments, would reinvest it in this or any other sector which you recommend.Thank you in advance for your usual reasoned response.

Q: I have some cash to deploy in an income account (riff) and would like your opinion on where there maybe value given the recent pullback. I am also mindful of not chasing yield and risking capital unduly. I have a 3 percent position in Bgi that I could increase or start a new position in Dr if you think the dividend is fairly safe and given time the stock will rebound. I am fairly diversified and open to other suggestions of income bargains out there.
Thanks for your insight.

Q: DR is taking a fair hit today, apparently over the change in leadership announcement (or is there something else?). How significant is this change, in your opinion? With a 7+% dividend, do you think that DR might be worth buying now as a small position, with the objective of collecting a nice dividend and perhaps a bit of growth potential?
Thank-you
